Raw fish: Some raw fish contain enzymes that can destroy vitamin B1, and vitamin B1 deficiency can lead to neurological disease in cats, which can be fatal in severe cases. This enzyme can be destroyed by heating, so Be sure to cook the fish before feeding it to the cat.

Meat: Although a cat's diet should be dominated by meat, feeding cats only meat can lead to uneven intake of minerals and vitamins, which in turn can lead to severe skeletal metabolic disorders.
