7 Foods You Shouldn’t Give Your Cat (Page 2 ) | November 24, 2025

Caffeine: A Silent Threat
Caffeine, found in coffee, tea, and carbonated drinks, acts directly on a cat’s central nervous system.

Risks: agitation, palpitations, convulsions, and in extreme cases cardiac arrest.

Dairy Products: A Myth to Debunk.
Contrary to popular belief, most adult cats are lactose intolerant. Milk, cream, and yogurt can cause digestive problems.

Avoid: regular dairy products.
Best: fresh water, changed regularly.

Raw Food: Not Always Safe.
Raw meat, fish, and eggs can contain bacteria (salmonella, E. coli) or parasites. Although they may seem natural, eating raw foods is not without risk.

Possible side effects: vomiting, diarrhea, fever, pancreatitis.
Tip: Always consult your veterinarian before changing your dog’s diet.

Grapes and Raisins: Fruits to Avoid
Grapes, both fresh and dried, can cause acute kidney failure in cats, even in very small amounts.

Safe alternatives: banana, melon or apple (without seeds), in very small quantities.
