'Vegan' kitten nearly dies

96. to feed or not to feed, that is the question

You might be surprised how many veggies cats will eat. I don't know about fruit, as I've never seen one of my cats eat it, but I had a cat who went crazy over green olives (I didn't let him eat them, but he about chewed my fingers off if I had the juice on them), and all my cats are quite happy to eat fresh catnip every day. When they eat grass, it's usually to vomit up a hairball, but some of it still probably remains in their system. I don't remember some of the weird things some of my cats have eaten, but some plants and probably even some fruit, won't hurt them. I have a cat now who is insane over chocolate. Of course, I don't let her eat it. And even your vet will tell you to try adding cooked rice if a cat is having trouble with diarrhea.

As a matter of fact, here is a list of 12 human foods cats can eat:
canned fish like tuna (small portions only)
Cheese (small portions only)
Steamed Broccoli (if you see your cat chomping on plants, offer some steamed broccoli)
Cooked eggs
Lean deli meats
Melon (small portions only)
Spinach (small portions only)
Peas (frozen peas make a great snack but small portions only)
Beef
Bananas (frozen banana makes a great treat, small portions only)
Canned baby food (great for cats with health problems)

Foods you can't feed them:
Human-grade Sushi (can cause gastrointestinal upset)
Onions and Chives (even trace amounts can damage red blood cells)
Uncooked Egg (could expose them to salmonella)
Bones (can cause choking)
Fat trimmings (can lead to gastrointestinal upset and even pancreatitis)
Caffeine (can cause increased heart rate and agitation)
Milk (a cat’s digestive tract becomes somewhat lactose intolerant once a cat reaches adulthood)

This list is just from one site. More sites may offer other things to feed or not to feed.
