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?

People that have been found in peat bogs are almost always heavily infested with intestinal parasites, and fecal material found at archeological sites show significant signs of parasitic infections as well, because even once we cooked food we often didn't have acceptable food safety (or, y'know, refrigeration). Truth is that cats in the wild just constantly have tons of parasites and get sick a lot, and sometimes die from it.
