Cats are extremely curious - they love testing new toys, exploring the world around, and also tasting new food they see.
While domestic cats are usually away from potential danger, some human food can be pretty bad for them.
Here are a few examples of food you shouldn't give to your cat.
Chocolate
Cats can't handle chocolate. It has stuff called theobromine that's bad for them.
Alcohol
Alcohol can make cats really sick. Even a little bit is harmful.
Onions and Garlic
These make your cat's red blood cells go wonky, which is bad. Avoid them.
Bones
Cooked bones can splinter and hurt your cat's insides. Don't let them chew on bones.
Caffeine
Like in coffee or tea. Cats can't handle it, so keep it away.
Milk
Contrary to popular belief, most adult cats are lactose intolerant. Milk can give them an upset tummy.
Grapes and Raisins
These can make cats sick and even damage their kidneys.
Raw Eggs and Raw Fish
They can have things that mess with your cat's digestion. It's best to cook them first.
Dog Food
Dogs and cats have different dietary needs. Cat food is better for your kitty.
Human Medicine
Never give your cat medicine meant for people unless your vet says it's okay.
Conclusion
Make sure your cat's diet is healthy, so you can spend many happy years together with your pet friend!
