We all know that it is best to feed our cats only cat food. However, we also have a need to treat our furry friends by perhaps sharing a little food that we are eating. However, some of these foods can be highly dangerous to your cat. A lot of the same foods are dangerous to dogs but because cats are usually much smaller, the effects can be more dangerous. Although the list is rather lengthy, these two food types are among the most dangerous. Chocolate is an absolute taboo. A very little bit of chocolate can cause vomiting and diarrhea but a bit more could cause seizures or death. Anything in the onion family such as onions, garlic or chives cause life-threatening anemia. These are especially dangerous because they can be ingredients in other cooked foods. Purchase appropriate cat-safe treats and reward your cat with these instead. Learn more from your Mobile, AL veterinary clinic.
