Your animal companion may have bizarre cravings for food (just try to offer your cat a raisin...) yet allowing your pet to indulge in this food may lead to health problems. Here is a short list of foods your cat may love but should never eat:
- Raisins and grapes (contain an unknown toxin, which can damage the kidneys)
- Macadamia nuts (contain an unknown toxin which affects nervous system)
- Milk and other dairy products (cause diarrhea; yet there are ''cat milk'' options which are okay for your cat to consume)
- Raw eggs (contain an enzyme called avidin which hinders the absorption of vitamin B)
- Raw meat (may contain Salmonella)
- Yeast dough (causes pain and possible rupture of the stomach)
- Dog food (you own a cat not a dog; dog food does not contain nutrients a cat needs
- Tuna (your cat won't die from tuna yet it is not the most nutritious food for the cat since it does not contain nutrients a cat needs)
- Onions and garlic (toxic, may cause anemia)
