Invaluable!! Mom has been told that veggies are just fillers and us cats don’t need them, we only need meat. This is nice to see, mom must look up Jeanne’s source for this info,
Thanks Dude and dudette.
Shoko
You are welcome. :). And some veg is good for digestion. When Oliver had problems with his anal glands getting blocked (smelly!!!) our vet made us cook him chicken with pumpkin. 🙂
pumpkin I use too for my kitties diarrhea and her intestines but this is only when she is not well.
Concerning cooked meat: Careful with spices!
Good point :o!
ZuZu and Roxie keep telling me that people food is very good for them. They often sit on the table and try to steal food right from my plate. Thanks for this information. And I will be careful with spices. Clare
You are welcome. 🙂
Ha ! I keep telling Mum (and Dad) that human food is good for me ! Now I have the proof ! Purrs, Zorro
😀
Marc, thank you for the credit for having the “original infographic”, but I found it on Pinterest, so while my blog was where you discovered it, I did not create it.
XD that’s what I meant to say. 😉
Where is the pepperoni pizza? My cats love the cheese and especially the pepperoni. They usually get it when I look away!
Lol
Long ago in a memory far away, we had “Dammit” the cat. who loved pumkin. Halloween was an awesome time for him, when we cut up our Jack-o’lanterns he woudl steal the pumpkin rind and go eat it down to the skin. (Never the skin) or if mom opened up a can of pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling, he would be in the kitchen rubbing on legs or laying behind her. (Thus his name “DAMMIT! Get out of the kitchen!” But he loved pumpkin in all it’s versions. Not big on honeydew or watermelon, but pumpkin? A huge favorite.
Haha. It’s funny how they love certain things.
Nice diet!
Thanks 🙂
Great info Marc!
Thanks 🙂
Informal post for the future.
Thank you 🙂
Purrfect timing! The human was just trying to remember healthy people foods that are safe fur kats!
:d excellent.
The Creature’s Mom was asking the human if it is safe fur kats to eat grapes – every time Serafina sees them eating grapes she acts like she wants one!!?
No grapes! They are poisonous :0
That’s what the human told her
Good. Hopefully she will listen. 🙂
Oh she will! They research EVERYTHING they give her (since she’s the boss)!
Hehe ^^
Misread this the first time as “People: food your cat can eat.” Now that would have been kind of scary.
Haha 🙂
Sorry to disagree in part. Most geriatric cats cannot tolerate ANY daily or eggs. And, they will tend to vomit up all “people food” no matter how small the amount or how small you have prepared it. I am just speaking about Ms. Cali. Perhaps her cancer or stricture had something to do with the intolerance in the GI track, but in the last 4 years of her life, she could NOT tolerate ANY meat or dairy or eggs, not even one bite. If I gave her anything, she would vomit for hours and it just was not worth the suffering for BOTH of us.
Perhaps other geriatric cats CAN and DO tolerate all the foods listed. Understand I am speaking only about one cat from ages 15-19. She started howling at 15; I thought something was wrong with her; the veterinarian always found some new expensive medication to add to the mix, but really nothing was wrong with her. So, that is when I went on a 5 month search vetting cat communicators and hiring “STAFF”. Ms. Cali had her own famous pet photographer that cost me thousands (SO WORTH IT) as at 17 Cali was like a KITTEN compared to the last two years of her life. But I am guessing that cancer was growing and grew fast, but it was the STRICTURE that blocked her from being able to poop, that really made her terminal and urgently so.
Every cat is different. Ms. Cali may have just been old or she was getting sick and we did not know it. So, take this advice with a grain of salt (and pepper too—to the person who warned about spices).
Each car is different and what works for one may not work for another.
Thanks for the graphic. We get VERY excited about eggs at our house. It’s nice to know that I don’t have to hide the asparagus in the fridge.
😀 you are welcome
Thank you! I have a cat that could be a vegetarian if I’d let her. She loves peanut butter on whole wheat sprouted bread!
Peanut butter o.o interesting
Hi, I’m Bella and I’ve just got myself a new human who gets lots of deli counter fish and meats. Tasty treats, but I’ve sniffed that veggie stuff and I’m not so sure about that!
Hi bella :). How is your hoomin doing? ^^
They take a little bit of training, but always succumb to the doe-eyed cute pose when I turn it on!
Hehe. Good! Make sure you train them well and don’t forget to tell them you need a guest story on here at some point. 😉
After reading and watching this post I am thinking that this cat diet could be mine too !! 🙂
In friendship
Michel
Hehe 🙂
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been doing prepping in case of emergencies and wondering what I could feed my cat if worst case scenario happens. She won’t eat human food now, but I’m sure she would if there was nothing else to eat.
Cats ey 😉
My cats love chicken. Maybe I should start giving them some greens to stop them from eating grass outside – clearing up grass/cat food puke isn’t fun 🙁
I know what you mean. My girl loves grass =.=

Thanks for the mention. 🙂
Thanks Marc! interesting stuff!
Glad you likd the article! 🙂
Years ago I had a cat who loved broccoli. It didn’t seem to hurt him a bit. By present cat won’t eat any people food except a little bit of cheese. She is so finicky.
O.O broccoli!!! It’s difficult to get my sister to eat that stuff. Good cat haha
Thank you Marc-André for the good info. My sweet darling Lola used to looove cheese and would rush downstairs just at the sound of the package of cheddar being opened. Phoebe has never showed any interest in people food and looks down at the 3 boys hanging around the kitchen, salivating over chicken roasting in the oven. Yes, chicken with pumpkin , what a great combo! They also go mad over bacon. Errol Flynn must have been italian in one of his previous lives as he practically jumps in a bowl of pasta. I find it truly amazing that cats do not overeat, even when feasting on their ultimate favourite food. They are so wise.
You are welcome :). Have you seen my message about how to get your latest post up btw?
Yes, thank you. Did you get my email about the cats and the wild forest fires?????
I did and completely forgot to reply!!!! Sorry <3
I'll try and slot that in soon because people need to know indeed !
Thank you soooo very much. I have a very picky eater. She won’t touch shrimp or tuna, but she will bust through a wall for salmon??? Weird cats…I’m trying to change it up for her and I want to be cautious about mercury, but what’s your thoughts on anchovies? Some say heck yeah, others say ahhh nook. Would like your input.
Thanks so much for your hard work for us hoomans and kitty’s. ?
I’ve never tried anchovies with our four. ?
