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?

Just out of curiosity: What is the issue with the avocados?

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Avocadoes contain a compound called persin that is poisonous to them.

I assume it is fat density. Imagine if a human ate an avocado the size of their head. That'd be way too much fat, saturated or not. Probably ok in very small slices. But you know, consult your vet.

You're gonna be shocked to learn that the pics don't represent portion size. Unless you think a cat could actually eat an entire pineapple.

Lol I mean that it's easy to give them too much. Not that it's necessarily a whole avocado
