Pet owners often notice that their pets prefer the food for people to that which is made for pets. We often see a dog sitting under the dinner table and begging for food.
Cats never beg, they steal! It might look cute if it weren’t dangerous. There are a number of products that are healthy for humans yet toxic and dangerous for animals. Here is a list of 10 foods you should never give your cat.
1. Raisins
This delicious snack is healthy for people, but for cats this dried berry is toxic. A few grams of raisins are enough to cause a sudden and severe kidney failure in a cat. Never give raisins or grapes to you feline. Make sure that your cat has no access to this product. If, by any chance, your cat eats grapes or raisins, keep an eye on the cat for at least 24 hours. Signs of toxicity include weakness, decreased urination, lethargy, lack of appetite, and diarrhea.
2. Onions
Avoid feeding your cat with food containing onions. Sulfoxides and disulfides are the two components that ruin red blood cells and might be the cause of anemia. The same problem is caused by onion powder and spices that contain it as one of the ingredients. Read the label!
