Found this one online while browsing for what cats shouldn't eat. However I feel like this area is quite controversial and opinionated. Also feels like half the websites are written by AI and riddled with ads. So if anyone has a good source as to what cats should avoid then let me know.

Anyways, I found this nice illustration, but wanted to hear with you peeps whether you have any experience regarding these food items.

Also what's your take on milk/sour milk for cats? My previous cat loved it so much, and she aged until she was 17 years old, and never seemed to have a problem with it. Also asked the vet at the time and she said it was OK. However every other website I visit tell to never give milk(dairy) to cats. So which is it? Does it just depend on the cat?

I'd argue grapes are worse than onions and garlic.

Just out of curiosity: What is the issue with the avocados?

[–] Drewelite@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I assume it is fat density. Imagine if a human ate an avocado the size of their head. That'd be way too much fat, saturated or not. Probably ok in very small slices. But you know, consult your vet.

You're gonna be shocked to learn that the pics don't represent portion size. Unless you think a cat could actually eat an entire pineapple.

Lol I mean that it's easy to give them too much. Not that it's necessarily a whole avocado

Glad to see blueberries on the Sure! list.

Those are my cat's favorite. I was as surprised as you!

But my cat only eat raw meat. He just kicks all other ready to eat cat foods.

I have a cat who loves pistachios. I'm not going to tell him no.

Where does coffee feature on this list

ETA: this was fed to Crème Puff by her owner. Crème Puff is regarded as the longest lived domestic cat at 38 years.

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Your cat drinks coffee????

Dog food? Dogs like cat food. Are they not interchangeable? I haven't ever seen a cat eat dog food now that I think about it.

Sure - AN ENTIRE FUCKING TURKEY

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I used to feed my cat raw quails. He loved them. I don't know how he is doing now as my ex got the cat and I kept the dog.
