What kind of home made food can a 3 month old kitten eat?Is it ok if they eat fried chicken or steak,or pork chops?

we might not be able to buy cat food for a while so we was thinking about feeding her fried chicken or something.

Can someone please give me a list of homemade food(or human food)that a 3 month old kitten can eat without getting sick?

  1. Cat Food Recipe

    Finicky Feline Diet

    1 cup chopped cooked chicken

    1/2 cup cooked rice

    1/2 cup chopped broccoli, cooked until tender

    1/4 cup chopped carrot, cooked until tender

    Chicken broth

    Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender with enough chicken broth to hold together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Warning

    The liver of a cat is less effective at detoxification than those of other animals, including humans and dogs; therefore exposure to many common substances considered safe for households may be dangerous to them. In general, the cat's environment should be examined for the presence of such toxins and the problem corrected or alleviated as much as possible; in addition, where sudden or prolonged serious illness without obvious cause is observed, the possibility of toxicity must be considered, and the veterinarian informed of any such substances to which the cat may have had access.

    For instance, the common painkiller paracetamol or acetaminophen, sold under brand names such as Tylenol and Panadol, is extremely toxic to cats; because they naturally lack enzymes needed to digest it, even minute portions of doses safe for humans can be fataland any suspected ingestion warrants immediate veterinary attention.Even aspirin, which is sometimes used to treat arthritis in cats, is much more toxic to them than to humans and must be administered cautiously.Similarly, application of minoxidil (Rogaine) to the skin of cats, either accidental or by well-meaning owners attempting to counter loss of fur, has sometimes proved fatal.

    In addition to such obvious dangers as insecticides and weed killers, other common household substances that should be used with caution in areas where cats may be exposed to them include mothballs and other naphthalene products, as well as phenol based products often used for cleaning and disinfecting near cats' feeding areas or litter boxes, such as Pine-Sol, Dettol (Lysol), hexachlorophene, etc. which, although they are widely used without problem, have been sometimes seen to be fatal.Ethylene glycol, often used as an automotive antifreeze, is particularly appealing to cats, and as little as a teaspoonful can be fatal.

    Many human foods are somewhat toxic to cats; theobromine in chocolate can cause theobromine poisoning, for instance, although few cats will eat chocolate. Toxicity in cats ingesting relatively large amounts of onions or garlic has also been reported. Even such seemingly safe items as cat food packaged in pull tab tin cans have been statistically linked to hyperthyroidism; although the connection is far from proven, suspicion has fallen on the use of bisphenol A-based plastics, another phenol based product as discussed above, to seal such cans.

    Many houseplants are at least somewhat toxic to many species, cats include and the consumption of such plants by cats is to be avoided.

  2. Here is a suggestion. Give your cat a piece of meat (any kind really) cooked in a frying pan. ONLY use vegetable oil to cook it and NO salt. Now the only problem is if your kitten will actually eat it.

  3. Stay away from fried foods for kittens..  Human food like cooked hamburger, chicken liver, and boiled chicken is OK for a short time.  Kittens and cats need Taurine which prevents blindness and eye problems.

    All commercial cat food has it.  Ask your local Humane Society to help you out with food until you are ready to purchase dry cat food again.  

  4. not fried chicken, maybe pork chops, chicken b*****s, iunno check like a petco website

  5. none....see a vet and get CAT food.

  6. tuna salmon or sushi probably

  7. Understand that there are certain foods that should be avoided when you make your own cat food. Never feed your cat chocolate, onions, pork (including bacon), raw fish, raw eggs, milk or bones. Each of these has its own ill effects on cats.

    So not that stuff, but you can grind up other meats, add seasonings like kelp powder and a few veggies.  Not too much dairy as your kitten or cat will get runny p**p.

    If you are looking for something your kitten can eat, at 3 months, normal kitten food should work, Purina is a good brand.  If it doesn't want to eat that, you can always just let the food soak in water (just a little to soften it) and your kitten may eat it then

    And my sources are a few websites that should help you find nice recipies or that have a recipe on them.

    Hope that helps

    Oh, and don't feed your cat Tuna!!  Did I say that already?  It's bad for them because of the mercury in it

  8. live cat

  9. Green pizza in the back of the fridge. it has some meat on it that gets fuzzy and swells up. They don;t get sick but we do. So we save it for cats and guests.

  10. Cats require a varied diet, including a mixture of canned and dry food. Contrary to opinions that it doesn’t matter, buying only one type of food because of convenience or price is a mistake, and can harm your cat’s health. When the cat is alone or unattended for a period, carbohydrate rich dry food should be left out for your cat with a supply of fresh water. Tinned food is higher in protein due to the meat content, and contains higher water levels. Both are essential for a balanced diet, and a combination of both dry and canned food will keep essential variety in the diet and prevent the cat from seeking food elsewhere.


  11. my kitten is about the same age and whatever meats we have for dinner she eats as well, but we cook healthy as in not too much grease and spices. Besides that, you should stick to milk, and fish broiled. my cat also likes cheese and the soft part in white bread. me and her are on vaation in morocco so theres no cat food available to buy :) she seems to be getting along fine. avoid raw meat no matter how she begs and canned fish should only be given 3 times a month.

    hope this helps

  12. no no no.  Go spend some money and buy her some canned food.  its only 40 cents a can.  Human food is bad for pets.  if you cant afford pet food you cant afford a pet.

  13. anything u eat!!!

    my cat is just like that

    she dosent like cat food

    just make sore the food

    is in small bits


  14. My cat is much older than yours, so we cannot compare notes with high accuracy.

  15. yes kittens can eat fried chicken. the breading can possibly make a cat sick, so maybe try grilled or broiled chicken. no breading...and pork is the same

  16. we'll special kitty and 9live just don't give them ti much at first just a little.

  17. Good Grief!! You are not serious??????????  

  18. Never ever give your cat people food. Especially fried foods. A cat needs a balanced diet to stay healthy and they wont get it from people food. And never give your cat cows milk, it will make them sick. Cats should only eat cat food,dry and wet and fresh water daily. Since your cat is 3 months old, it should be kitten food, they have different dietary needs from adult cats. If you want to give your cat milk, there is specially formulated milk just for cats. If you are unable to feed and care for a cat properly, you should give it to someone who can.
