Question

Can cats eat any type of human food? I have a Maine Coon cat, so if you find anything out contact me.?

Answer 1

you shouldn't feed any animal human food because it can make them sick. but if you want to, give cats(cooked, but cold) chicken and turkey.

Answer 2

yes but some probaly isn't healthy for themp.s. my cat eats french fries

Answer 3

Fish, Chicken, beef, steak. But only as treats.

Answer 4

Human grade food for cats is not advised.  Cats need specific protein amino acids(higher amount than dogs), taurine and other necessary vitamins and minerals to stay healthy.  It also depends on why you are asking the question?  Are you out of cat food and need an alternative? If short term, tuna can be give and or cooked chicken.  Avoid pork because of the salt content.  Also, most cats seem to not like beef.  So stick with poultry and fish(always cooked).   Or are looking to give them a meat diet, that excludes cat food.  Watch out the for the raw diet, which is not healthy, due to bacteria,etc.  With a meat diet they will need supplements.  You have to do extensive research on this!  Also, remember that cats are true carnivores, they cannot be on a vegetarian/grain(as some dog owners put dogs on) diet.

Answer 6

I have a Maine Coon cat too! His name is Ruffian.

Cats can eat cooked chicken (fried is terrible for both humans AND animals), tuna, and other proteins that we eat. remember, try to keep to it as healthy as possible. And even better use cat food

Answer 7

Well mine do they eat everything from cereal to soup to spaghetti to english muffins to angel food cake:-)

Answer 8

It's best to feed cats their own food instead of human food because of health reasons. For example, sugar is very bad for cats because its not a part of their diet.

They can eat chicken, beef, pork and especially fish and seafood. I currently discovered cat food that had lobster, clams, scallops, and crab meat and my kittens love them! I was surprised because I had never seen such a variety before.

I do confess that I have given my cats some human food, but only is very small quantities. They love stringed cheese and wheat bread. I also had a cat that loved my mom's Spanish rice and she loved bacon. ^__^*

Answer 11

no cats need special diets (i.e dried and wet cat food) to have a healthy balanced diet. these contain impiortant vitamins that help with sight, joints health etc!! so your cat must have a diet of cat food unless you want to make home made suitable cat foods (get recipes off web or books) and add cat vitamins form vets. my cat has dry and wet cat food, i do give him tid bits usally ham, or chicken he loves human food though i caught him on my worktop eating beef curry they other day (i dont encourage that my cat is a freak with spicy food i have to hide it) as a special thing sometimes i give him a mini baby ball cheese of a dairale triangle, he also likes quavers! however its important to remember there not a natural diet for animals and they become obease quickly and this causes health problems, i give treats (cats ones) every other day and a couple times of week if hes lucky he has tid bits from us, watch out for spicy, strong milky things, chocolate(big nonononono) sugary things and some plants are poisonus to cats they cause loose poos and chocolate can be fatal!!!
