Plants and Food List - Things That are BAD for Your Furbrat
I don’t have plants namely because my furbrats just love to tear them up. I knew there were a few plants that were bad for them, but wow, I wasn’t ready for THIS list:

So i’ll let this wonderful site do the talking FOR me because this is really an extensive list!
Now, this is food that you simply SHOULD NOT give your cat and I got this list off of http://www.vetinfo.com .. and he in turn had gotten it from the ASPCA … this list isn’t quite so big! But I learned a few things myself!
- Alcoholic beverages (yeah, I know, who of us hasn’t given our kids a little tasty taste….well, don’t do it anymore!)
- Avocado
- Chocolate (all forms)
- Coffee (all forms)
- Fatty foods
- Macadamia nuts
- Moldy or spoiled foods
- Onions, onion powder - all forms (this is didn’t know and the vet reiterated it for me when I needed to feed baby food meats to one of my kittens - he told me to MAKE SURE that the food I was using did NOT have onions in it - and some baby food meats do!)
- Raisins and grapes
- Salt (this I have to watch…I’m a salt freak and sometimes I let the bunch have what might be left on my plate…)
- Yeast dough
- Garlic - all forms (this is true too with the baby food meats! I had no idea!)
- Products sweetened with xylitol - artificial sweetener
also, regular milk isn’t good for them …. if you must (and I must I’m afraid) give your cat milk, pick up some lactose intolerant milk at the store. They love it and they tolerate it just fine.
And of course, never ever give your pet any people medication unless you’ve checked it through your vet first!
There was something else important that popped into my head but I can’t think of it right now… but if it comes back, I’ll edit this to reflect that!
