Some people dote on their cat owners in every possible way, but they don't know that they are actually causing harm to Ai Meow's health in disguise, so today, the editor will give you some popular science about the foods that cats can't eat:

Some cats are rather greedy, and they want to eat whatever people eat. They feel fragrant when you eat them, and they think it must be delicious, so you feed them and eat them. However, if you do this for a long time, it will gradually damage the cat's physical health.

So we need to make an analysis of the things that humans can eat, and pay attention to what can't be eaten by cats, what can't be eaten by cats, and what can't be eaten by cats. This is what cat owners must master. common sense.  

1. Onion/Scallion

2. Internal organs

This is a cliché and most likely to cause pets skin problems such as eczema, dander and Itchy skin and other problems. The same is true for cats. Excessive consumption of internal organs (such as chicken liver) can lead to vitamin A poisoning and bone problems in cats. Therefore, it is good to give them their favorite liver after a long period of time, and change the taste.

3. Fish bones, chicken bones

Some people think cats can chew bones well, but cats don't. Chew the food, but swallow it instead. There is a risk of stabbing the stomach from fish bones, so it is better to remove them. Moreover, fish bones contain calcium and phosphorus, and long-term consumption can cause stones in the cat's urinary system.

The bones of birds and other avian animals are relatively hard. When a cat bites, it will produce some sharp fragments. These fragments can sometimes stab the cat's mouth or internal organs, so avoid cats from eating these bones. Here are the A common method is to boil the bones in a pressure cooker to soften or crush them and add them to the feed.

4. Dried fish

Dried fish contains a relatively large amount of magnesium, which is easy to induce and lead to urethral stones or urinary system diseases in cats, so Keep cats as small as possible. An adult cat needs about 0.3 to 0.5 grams of salt a day. Be careful not to excessive salt in the cat's feed.

5. Human meals

Our meals contain a lot of oil, salt and other condiments, some even contain a lot of spices, these They are not suitable for feeding pets.

An adult cat or dog only needs to eat food with 5% salt content. Too much oil and salt is not good for their body. Spicy meat is not good. Spicy meat will dull the cat's sense of smell and cause gastrointestinal discomfort. For example, the most common fried chicken barbecue, the cat is willing to eat, but not to it.

6. Ice Cream, Cream Cake + Dessert

In fact, ice cream, cream cake, snacks, dumplings, etc. are not necessary for pets to eat Yes, some contain too much sugar, some are not easy to digest, easy to cause obesity or diarrhea, in short, have a great impact on the pet's stomach.

7. Chocolate

The theobromine contained in chocolate can cause food poisoning, and chocolate poisoning can cause vomiting and diarrhea, frequent urination, overactivity, rapid heartbeat and breathing It can even eventually lead to death due to loss of cardiovascular function. Be careful!

8. Milk + raw protein

In fact, many cat owners know that feeding their cats milk is not a good thing, but they think that Only milk can give cats rich nutrition.

The lactose content in milk is much higher than that in cat milk. Cats lack an enzyme that decomposes and digests milk. Cats often experience diarrhea because they cannot absorb the enzymes in milk.

Especially for kittens, remember not to feed milk. But goat milk or yogurt at room temperature (the temperature that cats like is 30 to 40 degrees) can be fed, which is the same as the reason why some people can't drink milk but can drink yogurt.

Never feed cats raw egg whites. Raw egg whites contain an antibiotic protein that neutralizes important vitamins in cats, making them less able to absorb them. Attention! Boiled eggs and raw egg yolks do not have the above problems.

9. Raw meat

Raw fish and raw meat are not edible. Eating undercooked fish can leave cats deficient in vitamin B1, because raw fish produces an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1, and a lack of vitamin B1 in cats can lead to cramps, heart disease, and intermittent shock.

Plus, feeding your cat raw fish can cause unnecessary trouble with parasites that can cause trouble in your life and that of your cat. The Animal Hospital of Agricultural University has treated many cats with liver disease. It was because they ate raw fish and contracted parasites, which caused systemic jaundice and hepatitis. Liver disease can also lead to liver ascites and kidney disease, which are definitely terminal illnesses for cats.

There are a lot of parasites (taenia, roundworm, toxoplasma, etc.) in raw meat, which are harmful to cats and humans.

10. Seafood

There are a lot of seafood, which cats love to eat, but they can't feed them, such as shrimp, sea crab, squid, and cuttlefish , octopus, sardines and horse noodles. Because the protein in these foods is not easily digested by cats, it also contains toxins that cause cat allergies.

Big cats are more suitable for this kind of food, but eating too much will still cause symptoms such as allergies, salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. If it is a kitten, it may even cause convulsions and death in severe cases. Sardines and horse-faced fish in particular contain a strange toxin to which cats react particularly strongly.

However, cats like this kind of food because of its strong fishy smell, and people like it, so when we eat high-quality seafood, don't feed them just because the cat is begging for food. Even an adult cat should only be fed a small amount, and don't make it miserable by petting the cat.

The meat of squid, squid and some shellfish contains some ingredients that cats are not suitable for. Eating too much will cause indigestion and gastrointestinal disorders in cats. After entering the cat's stomach, dried yuzu will absorb water and swell, so the cat should not be allowed to eat too much. Some seafood can also cause inflammation of the cat's skin, so let the cat eat a small amount before feeding, and give it in moderation after there is no reaction.
