What foods can't cats eat?

 

As a cat owner, it is inevitable that cats will be exposed to human food during the process of raising cats. But what foods are not allowed for cats to eat? Today we will share with you, and please keep in mind all cat owners! Never let your cat eat the following foods.

 

1、Onions, garlic, and leeks

They will reduce their red blood cell count and cause anemia. Garlic and onions can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

2、Offal

They can easily cause skin problems for pets. The same is true for cats. Excessive consumption of certain offal can cause vitamin A poisoning and bone problems in cats. It is not completely inedible. If you want to feed offal, try to wait for a long time before feeding again.

3、Grapes and raisins

Grapes and raisins can cause sudden renal failure in your cat. They can be called poison for cats, and can cause death in severe cases.

4、Chocolate

Theobromine contained in chocolate can cause food poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, frequent urination, restlessness, overactivity, accelerated heartbeat and breathing, and even death due to loss of cardiovascular function.

5、Fish bones and chicken bones

Cats cannot chew bones well but choose to swallow them directly. Bones may puncture the stomach, so it is safer to remove them. Moreover, fish bones contain calcium and phosphorus, which can cause urinary stones in cats if eaten for a long time.

6、Dried fish

Dried fish contains a relatively large amount of magnesium, which can easily induce and cause urethral stones or urinary system diseases in cats, so try to let cats eat less.

7、 Alcohol

A small amount of alcohol can cause damage to the cat's brain and liver. Severe alcohol poisoning can cause cats to fall into a coma or even die.

8、Caffeine

Caffeine is a diuretic that can cause dehydration. It can also stimulate the heart and nervous system. Chocolate also contains caffeine!

9、Milk

Cats lack an enzyme that breaks down and digests milk (lactose intolerance). Cats will have diarrhea because they cannot absorb the enzyme in milk. Especially kittens, remember not to feed milk.

10、Raw protein

Raw protein contains an antibiotic protein that neutralizes important vitamins in cats, making them lack the ability to absorb vitamins. But! There are no problems with cooked eggs or raw egg yolks~

11、Some seafood

This mainly refers to shrimp, crabs, squid, cuttlefish, octopus, sardines, horseface fish and some shellfish. The protein in this type of food is not easy for cats to digest, and it also contains toxins that cause cat allergies. If big cats eat too much, they will still cause allergies, salivation, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. If it is a kitten, it may even cause convulsions and death in severe cases. Some seafood can also cause skin inflammation in cats. Let the cat eat a small amount before feeding, and give it an appropriate amount after there is no reaction.

The above are all common foods that threaten the cat's body. I hope the shit shoveler must remember it!
