Because cats are finicky eaters, many times we think that they will eat only good things which are safe for them. But sometimes this assumption can go wrong and our feline companion may end up eating dangerous foods which may create havoc in its life. So, which are these cat foods?

Some Harmful Foods That Cat Shouldn’t Eat?

  • Garlic and Onion: Garlic and onion can break down red blood cells (RBCs) of cat which leads to reduced RBC count and may result into anemia. Make sure that it won’t eat onion and garlic in any form such as powder, raw, dehydrated or cooked especially the one present in the baby food. In minute quantity if it consumes occasionally would be just fine but regular eating leads to above health effects.
  • Chives: Chives leads to gastrointestinal upset in cats so don’t let them eat chives in any form.
  • Green tomatoes: It contains alkaloids such as Glycoalkaloid Solanine which may create problem in the functioning of lower gastrointestinal tract. The leaves and stems are more toxic than the fruits.
  • Alcohol: Alcohol containing beverages are affects the liver and brain of cat same like humans. More importantly, small amount is enough to make this damage just say two teaspoon of whisky can lead to coma in a cat weighing 2.5 kg. And one more teaspoon leads to death.
  • Grapes: It is not much clear that how why grapes are harmful but the possibility is of kidney failure due to ingestion of grapes. The symptoms of which include repeated vomiting and hyperactivity. Though some cats may not show any sign, it’s good to avoid giving them grapes. Why to take a risk!
  • Caffeine: We may not even think of this drink to be dangerous for our lovely kitten and cat but coffee and tea can be fatal in large amount. The symptoms of ill effects of coffee include rapid breathing, restlessness, heart palpitations, fits and muscle tremors. Also avoid giving chocolate, cocoa, colas, energy drinks such as Red Bull and anything that contains caffeine.
  • Be aware of these foods and give it to your cats or even make sure that your cat won’t eat them by mistake. Instead you can go for several healthy cat food options available at IndianPetStore.
