Dangerous Foods Your Cat Should Never Eat

In this video, we will talk about 14 human foods that are toxic to cats.
Chocolate
Chocolate is a delicious treat for humans, but it is toxic to cats because it contains a substance called theobromine. Humans break down and metabolize theobromine easily, but cats don't.
Milk, Cheese, and Dairy Products
Although some adult cats may still produce some lactase enzyme, most felines are lactose intolerant, meaning that cow milk and dairy products such as like cheese or cream can upset their stomachs. They may experience anything from mild to severe gastrointestinal discomfort - diarrhea, loose stools, vomiting, stomach pain, or gas.
Salt
Most human food contains too much salt, and salt isn’t recommended for cats.
Eating too much salt can lead to a condition known as salt poisoning. It causes water deprivation in pets and leads to symptoms like vomiting, fever, diarrhea, excessive thirst, and tremors. In severe cases, it may even cause death.
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits contain essential oils and citric acid that can cause problems in cats.
Cats can also experience skin irritation if their skin comes into contact with citrus fruits. And even simply inhaling citrus essential oils, or any other essential oil, can cause problem to cats.
Raw or undercooked meat, eggs and fish
Raw fish, raw eggs and raw meat can contain bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli that can be harmful to pets. Cooking to a safe temperature kills off those harmful bacteria as well as any possible viruses.
Bones
Cooked bones are a serious danger to felines because they can splinter and get stuck in a cat's throat or stomach.
Avocados
Avocados contain a toxic substance called persin, which is perfectly safe for human, but can cause serious health problems - even death - in many animals.
Grapes and Raisins
Cats should never eat grapes and raisins. These fruits are known to be extremely toxic to cats. Grape toxicity in cats can cause serious kidney damage that can lead to sudden kidney failure, which can be fatal.
Hotdogs
Your feline friend would probably love to chow down on a hotdog. But is that a good idea? Many hotdogs contain ingredients that are not good for cats, such as sugars, artificial sweeteners, and unhealthy saturated fats that they cannot process. Hotdogs also contain seasonings, such as onion powder and garlic, which are toxic to cats. And the biggest problem with hotdogs is salt.
In fact, all processed meats are unsafe for your feline. These products contain a significant amount of salt, fat, chemical preservatives, and added spices which are bad for your cat's stomach
Tuna
Most cats love tuna to a fault. Tuna is very tasty, perhaps much tastier than your cat’s kibble. However, cats can become addicted to tuna. Some felines, when given tuna on a regular basis, will start turning up their nose at their regular cat food, hoping you will give more tuna instead.
Macadamia Nuts
Macadamia nuts are very toxic to cats. These nuts are often found in baked goods, cakes, cookies, muffins, and even trail mix. Make sure to keep these foods away from your pet.
Caffeine
Any beverage that contains a hint of caffeine is a big no-no for your cat.
Caffeine over-stimulates a cat’s nervous system. It causes their heart rate to increase to a dangerous level, and their blood pressure skyrocket.
Alcohol
Alcohol exists in many products we wouldn’t realize, such as mouth wash, perfume, cleaning products, and hand sanitizers. Make sure to keep them out of reach. Even the smallest amount of alcohol, such as found in cough syrups, medications, and raw bread dough, are poisonous to cats.
Raw Yeast Dough
If you’ve ever made bread from scratch, then you know that dough has to rise. When a cat eats bread dough, the yeast in that dough can expand in your cat’s belly and cause a lot of pain and bloating. This can cause a cat’s stomach to twist, which can turn into a medical emergency. There is also a risk of alcohol poisoning since yeast produces alcohol during the fermenting process. Make sure raw dough is out of your feline’s reach at all times.

[@scarlethunter6841]

Raw meats are perfectly fine, just try and get free range so it doesn't have antibiotics and hormones. Feeding my cat raw minced beef saved him from death once and he regularly gets raw chicken as a treat. My kitten as well. Milk is fine in small amounts but it's best not to give it to kittens just in case it upsets their delicate digestive system. Fish is alright in small amounts but it's safer to stay away from it because some cats can be allergic to it. This includes fish flavoring. Also definitely keep away from potatoes for both cats and dogs.

I had one cat who was soooooo bonkers for mandarin oranges that you buy in a can or the little fruit cups. She would almost attack me when she'd see me eating them. I never knew they were toxic, and she'd regularly get some of my mandarins cuz I use to crave them when I was pregnant with my 1st child. They never bothered her tummy, and she was never gassy. But I guess every kitty is different. Maybe she had some kind of disorder or lack of a certain vitamin, but I've never seen another cat in all my life act that way towards that kind of orange. She never bothered regular fresh oranges. Just the mandarins! Well all I know is she lived a good long life, and that I miss her all the time. We had so many good times together.

Actually, it is poison for them, but animals aren't stupid as people expect them as. Cats, either all animals know what they can eat and what isn't good for them. So if you ever acidentally give bad food to your cat, don't be too stressed. But anyway, always make sure to check if there's bad food for them cause some of cats aren't able to sniff so they couldn't know if it is bad or not.

If Tuna is so bad for Cats, how come it’s the number one ingredient in most Tinned Cat Food ( look on your supermarket shelves and on some of those shelves in specialty Pet Warehouse shops. At least three quarters if not two thirds of the tinned Cat Food on those shelves have Tuna in them. Either as the only protein ingredient or in combination with other protein ingredients....... Yes Tuna meant for human consumption isn’t good for your cat but Tuna that’s packaged for Cats is OK for your cat because as in most Cat Food you buy there’s added vitamins and minerals ect. One of the most important one being Taurine............. In this post there was one food that didn’t make to this list but should’ve. And that is Raw Chicken. Raw Chicken has salmonella and other bacteria that could not only make your Cat sick but could potentially kill your Cat due to food poisoning. Why? Because domestic felines have evolved from their once wild ancestors. Certain bugs and bacteria that their ancestors could tolerate and be immune to, our modern domestic felines, increasingly, aren’t immune to. In large part due to formulated diets but in very small measure simply due to the imperative to evolve to survive......... ⚛️☮️🌏

What have you been feeding them?? At 6 and 10 theyre still youngsters! They should not be so sick to need prescription food!

[@ilovetotri23]

@@sarahboardman1337 I was feeding them a high quality dry food. The 10 year old had emergency surgery to remove bladder stones. So they now eat a food that is designed, as I understand it, to change the pH level to avoid bladder stones again. The new food is also dry, they won't touch wet food. I would love to switch them to a wet food but nothing I have tried works. I am open to suggestions.

@@ilovetotri23 you're doing the right thing,&you seem to be the only one who is.They should have a dry diet so that the teeth remain as clean as possible,wet food causes a build up of bacteria,which not only causes gingivitis&loss of teeth,but also causes bacteria to enter the blood&damage the vital organs.

Cats are evolved to eat raw meat (small mammals, birds, insects etc.) and not much else. It won't harm a cat as long as the meat is fresh. Look at all the fruit and vegetables that can cause a cat problems. Cats are anti-vegans.

Only peppers, it's an obsession for him, he doesn't show any interrest in other vegetables. 😂 In term of food, it is impossible to give him twice in a raw the same thing, I have to change everytime, so malnutrition is not going to happen, he is healthy, very muscular, and spend a lot of time playing / jumping / running (much more than any other cat I got before) Fun fact: he born in a millitary casern

[@theresiasingleton7055]

I don't understand number 1 about feeding cats the same food. Usually whenever I need to change my cats diet I do it slowly over the next seven days. I mix the new food with the old so that they won't have any stomach issues or loose stools. Plus if the vet tells you to keep your cat on a certain food for the rest of their life, does that mean the vet is wrong?

[@amandatomaino1409]

There are different nureriants in different types of food, all equally important. You need to get the food specific for kittens when they are kittens, a senior cat gets the food that is specific for seniors. I have a indoor only kitten with a GI illness. So I mixing the kitten and indoor formula and the kitten and stomach and digestive aid formula. When she becomes an adult she will just get the tummy and indoor formula foods. My vet didn't recommend this to me. It has helped my cat though as she has out lived what the vet told me she'd live. My vet is now telling other cat owners to do this. I also alternate brands and flavor. We alternate between the Friskies seafood blend, Purina poultry and Iams grill mix for the kitten and indoor formulas. The food for her stomach is Blue Buffalo or Science Diet.

They like that, and yogurt lactose free. They love all steamed vegetables like corn, beans, potatoes even garbanzo beans and cabbage. They do have a small amount of butter on them. I thought the fiber would be good to help with the dry food. I give them 1/2 dry, 1/2 wet. They do have oil on them. I do not eat gluten so neither do they.
