Foods

Many everyday human foods are dangerous for cats, even in small amounts. This category covers fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, spices and condiments, and beverages, flagging which are toxic, which require caution, and which are genuinely safe to share. Cats have a very different metabolism from dogs or humans, so a food considered harmless for people can cause serious internal damage in cats.
