Does your cat have a favorite food?

Question

My cat loves chicken, as long as I tear off pieces of good meat w/ no breading. If I eat chicken & don't give him any, he starts scartching my legs.

Answer 1

My cat loves Deli Cat. She'll only eat cat food fresh from the can,
tuna, and Deli Cat. She won't eat table scraps.

Answer 2

Hi Brandon...I just posted a response to someone about the dangers of human foods to our cats. As very rare occasional treats it's fine, however I thought you'd like to have some information about how human foods could harm our felines overall health.

The reason is that most of our cooking includes onions, garlic, salt--seasonings that are toxic to cats when ingested regularly. Even rinsing the food after it's been cooked cannot remove the seasonings as they are absorbed into the the food when cooked. Milk also causes diarrhea due to the fact that cats are lactose intolerant. Diarrhea to young cats as well as some frail senior cats can be life-threatening as it dehydrates their fragile bodies quicker.

Cats are unable to know what is good for them (they'll even lick/ingest antifreeze--http://www.2ndchance.info/antifreeze.htm... therefore it's our job as their caretakers to intervene on their behalf by ensuring they don't eat anything that's unhealthy for them including foods for human consumption. That being the case, they only should eat food and treats made for cats to be safe and ensure they are receiving their nutritional requirements.

I've included a couple weblinks below that lists all the foods that are toxic to cats. May I request that you please consider taking a look at them both so that you can be educated on the facts to protect your cat's health. I believe you may appreciate the help in order to spare you the heartache of any un-necessary future medical problems as well as the veterinary expense as well.

This will then ensure your kitty will live a long and healthy life rather than being expose to all these terrible unexpected and unforseen dangers as well.

Some terrific cat treats: bonito flakes (found at any large pet store). Cats go nuts for these as it is fish flakes.

Mice and small birds mostly, but she takes care of that herself. I do, however, have the duty of providing her with different foods when the hunting isn't so good. For dry food she likes Whiskas almost exclusively. As far as canned cat food, she really only likes tuna, no brand preference. She does prefer the canned tuna intended for humans, though.

Answer 4

Iams active maturity for dry food, Fancy Feast ( like 20 varieties) for canned, Friskies tarter control and hairball formula snacks, cooked chicken, tuna, cheese, salmon. Also little tastes of whatever I might be eating lol.
