Found this one online while browsing for what cats shouldn't eat. However I feel like this area is quite controversial and opinionated. Also feels like half the websites are written by AI and riddled with ads. So if anyone has a good source as to what cats should avoid then let me know.

Anyways, I found this nice illustration, but wanted to hear with you peeps whether you have any experience regarding these food items.

Also what's your take on milk/sour milk for cats? My previous cat loved it so much, and she aged until she was 17 years old, and never seemed to have a problem with it. Also asked the vet at the time and she said it was OK. However every other website I visit tell to never give milk(dairy) to cats. So which is it? Does it just depend on the cat?

Please try and transition your car to a gasoline diet, dog food is unhealthy for them :(

I have a solar cat that only gets 10 minutes of activity for every 4 hours left in direct sun.

Depending on the miles per kibble I might want to transition my car to dog food

[-] Denvil@lemmy.one 8 points 8 months ago

While on paper the miles per kibble is higher with equal weight, as mentioned above it makes the car fat. With so much extra fat on the car, you ultimately end up with a lower miles per kibble as compared to the typical gasoline diet. Unhealthy!

The reason dog food is a no for cats isn't because it's harmful if they eat a kibble or two, but because dog food isn't fortified with an amino acid cats need, taurine, so feeding a cat exclusively on dog food will result in a type of malnutrition in the cat.

she doesn't exclusively eat it. she eats his biscuits now and then if I don't put her food out fast enough...

So what do you eat, if the cat eats your dog food?

[-] set_secret@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
