NO - Don't give your kitten table food. Her body isn't made to digest foods like that and it can damage her tummy and digestive system over time. You may also be exposing her to spices, flavors, dyes, etc that aren't good for her. Just give her kitten food until she's old enough for cat food.

You should be cautious with you kittens, as they're stomach and digestive track is still maturing. Stick to milk and dry kitten food until she gets to be 10 months old. Then you can give your cat occasional bits of meat, but not often, It can give then diarrhea.

No. As others said, it could create problems. I would also recommend sticking with kibbles and fresh water. We have done both canned food and kibbles with different cats, and canned food is awful. It smells, it's expensive, and you become a slave to the cat when it wants to eat. Our current cat is on IAMS kibbles only and water and is trim, healthy, and happy. He eats when he wants and we can take off for a couple of days and leave him with a full bowl of food and water and he is fine. Good luck with your new cat.

cats can eat red meat only when it is cooked (NEVER RAW). You can give RAW chicken and turkey, these help clean their teeth. It is best to keep the cat on a balanced diet, though. Try IAM or Hills Science Plan.

I'm GUILTY. I spoil my two kitties, almost too much to the point that cat food does not appease them anymore. But I feel bad now, cause I heard that's not the healthiest choice for them.

It's not a great idea. You have to be extra careful that there's nothing with onion, onion juice, onion powder or onion salt in it, as that can be toxic to kitties! Fallen scraps aren't that dangerous, but certainly don't make it a habit.
