  1. anything with a bone in it. also no sugary foods. my cat is allergic to fish...depends on your cat. to keep cat healthy stick to mainly cat food and just give the cat an occasional human food treat.


  2. i Just know that cats are Lactose Intolerant. So they can't have anything Dairy; Chocolate, Milk (unless its cat milk), cheese, yogurt, candy with milky creams inside.

    Also, no grapes or raisins and no bread. No raw meat, avoid giving both cats and dogs any baby food that contains onion powder. No caffeine such as Coffee, tea, etc.  No onions. No garlic and raw garlic is NO not good. Corn blocks their intestines. So no on that. No macadamia nuts, Pear pits, potato peels, Broccoli. No rice.

    That's all i know, hope it helps!

  3. I think mostly food containing sugars, I've heard sugar gives cats worms.

  5. Look at this website.

  6. Dances with Felines gave the list.

    Sugar isn't good for cats, but it doesn't give worms.  Worms are parasites spread in cat faeces, tainted meat and also linked to fleas.  

    Onions contain a substance that causes anaemia.  If you ever feed baby food as a treat, make sure it is a type that doesn't contain onion.

    Always read the ingredient list if you do give a treat of human food.  As well as the food itself, many of the preservatives used in human foods are toxic to cats.  Other foods, though not poisonous, are hard for cats to digest and can cause stomach and bowel upsets which are uncomfortable and messy.

    Also make sure you keep any human medication away from him.  Common drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol are poisonous to cats and warfarin and other commonly used blood thinners are dangerous.  The sugar coating on tablets can be attractive to cats.
