Cat & Dog Articles, Pets Lover ^_^

The idea of giving our cats home leftover food is bad. Some foods can be extremely dangerous for our cats. Also unexpected foods that are edible for humans and dogs, can pose a serious risk to our domestic felines because of their different metabolism. Some may cause only mild digestive upsets, while others can cause serious illness and even death.

The following common food should not be given (intentionally or unintentionally) to cats. Obviously the list is not complete, because it's impossible to list all foods to which our cat must stay away. In general it should remember that our four-legged friend should never be fed with food for us humans. Now to our list:

Alcoholic beverages of any kind can cause intoxication, coma and death.

Baby foods contain onion powder which may prove to be toxic to cats and can also lead to nutritional deficiencies, if ingested in large quantities.

Fish bones, chicken bones, meat or other sources can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system. These small bones can also remain in the throat and cause abscesses should be treated surgically.

Canned tuna (for human consumption) in large amounts can cause malnutrition, since it has adequate levels of vitamins and minerals.

Chocolate, coffee, tea, caffeine can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous system and even cause death.

Citrus fruit can cause vomiting.

The dog food, if ingestion is accidental and occurs only once, will not cause problem, but if it gets the typical diet of cat can lead to malnutrition and diseases affecting the heart.

The fat can cause pancreatitis.

The grapes el'uvetta contain a toxin known, which can damage the kidneys and even lead to death.

Human vitamin supplements containing iron can damage the lining of the digestive system and are toxic to other organs including the liver and kidneys.

Milk and milk products in cats can lead to diarrhea.
Moldy garbage or spoiled food may contain toxins and cause vomiting and diarrhea, as well as affect other organs.

Mushrooms can contain toxic and cause death of the cat.

Onions and garlic (raw, cooked, or powder) contain sulfoxides and disulfides which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more sensitive than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions, but should never be given to dogs or cats.

Raw eggs contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin). This can lead to problems sleeping. The raw eggs may also contain salmonella.

Raw fish, if given the cat often, may cause thiamine deficiency (vitamin B), with consequent loss of appetite, convulsions and, in severe cases, death.

Salt if consumed in large quantities can lead to electrolyte imbalances, which cause dehydration and even death.

Sugary foods can lead to obesity, dental problems, and possibly diabetes.

The dangers are not just these, you should avoid even then only to give food for our table to the cat as a prize, or one-off. Side effects, including serious as we have seen are around the corner, especially as domestic cats metabolism of a different and more sensitive than wild.
