These are things cats cannot eat, cat owners don't you want to take a look?
For the ordinary foods we eat, some are also not suitable for cats and may even harm their health. Some foods can cause poisoning with even a small amount, potentially threatening their lives. Cat owners must be very careful.
1. Milk and dairy products We often see many programs feed cats with milk on TV, but this is incorrect. Many cats are lactose intolerant, and feeding milk can easily cause diarrhea. Although some cats are not sensitive, if they drink milk for a long time, they may drink less water, increasing the burden on their kidneys.
2. Small snacks like dried small fish, seaweed, shrimp, shellfish, and fish slices Although cats like to eat these, they contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, etc., which are important sources of stone formation. Owners should give these to cats only in small amounts. Long-term consumption of shrimp and shellfish can also affect Vitamin B1 absorption, possibly causing cats to walk unsteadily or suffer hind leg paralysis.
3. Although liver is rich in Vitamin A, cats should not eat too much of it. It can easily cause calcium deficiency. These internal organs should also be given sparingly.
4. Chicken, duck, fish bones These bones are small and sharp. Accidentally swallowing them can easily puncture the cat’s digestive tract. Owners should promptly clean kitchen waste to prevent injuries.
5. Onions, ginger, garlic, etc. Especially onions, which damage their red blood cells, leading to anemia and hematuria. These foods must never be touched.
6. Some fruits like grapes and raisins should also not be given, as they may cause kidney failure.
7. Although chocolate is something we love to eat, the caffeine and theobromine inside are harmful to cats. It can cause heart, nerve, and digestive symptoms. Coffee and tea beverages are also not allowed.
8. Alcohol and alcoholic beverages Even a small amount ingested by cats can be fatal. Studies show that cats will show symptoms within half an hour to an hour after ingestion. Drinking 5.6 ml/kg can be deadly. It is extremely dangerous.
There are quite a few things that cats cannot eat. Owners should consider their cats’ health problems carefully when feeding them.
