Cats are carnivores in nature. They can consume any well-cooked meat. Feeding undercooked and raw meat should be strictly avoided due to the presence of microorganisms and parasites, which can cause severe gastrointestinal worries to cats, such as diarrhea and vomiting.
If you choose to feed human food to your pet, it should not exceed about one tablespoon in a day. Examples of human food cats may eat include:
- fully cooked meat
- eggs, preferably hard-boiled
- clean and fresh vegetables (except garlic, onion, or chives)
- fruits (except citrus fruits or grapes)
- cooked starchy foods, such as rice, bread, potato or noodles
- unsalted or unbuttered popcorn.
If you have doubts about what to feed your pet, do not hesitate to consult your veterinarian. Always remember that your pet cat also deserves a healthy and well-balanced diet.
Your pet’s diet is one of the important concerns that you should discuss with your veterinarian Carmel Valley during your pet’s health and wellness checks.
