What Not to Feed Your Cats



It's important that everyone knows what to feed their cat(s) but it's even more important to know what not to feed them. Here is a list of a few things that can be poisonous or harmful to your little fuzzy friends...

*Onions & Garlic - the substances that are in both of these can cause Anemia in your cat
*Green Tomatoes & Raw Potatoes - these can cause lower gastrointestinal problems
*Milk - if your cat is lactose intolerant which many are, it can cause stomach problems. Cats do not need milk.
*Chocolate - just like dogs this is very toxic for cats as well. They can get chocolate toxicity which has many severe side effects.

These are just a few types of food that come to mind to keep your cat healthy. You really shouldn't be feeding your cat human food as it is. There are so many foods to fit different needs for every cat that are nutritious and won't harm them.
