Dog food should be fine, it just lacks taurine so you shouldn't feed your cat exclusively with it (as with anything else on there), but if turkey is in the sure category then dog food should be there too.
Lol, our cat gets lots of random raw meat, yogurt, ice cream or really any leftovers, which often enough includes onions in the sauce, anything she doesn't refuse to eat outright and she's still surprisingly healthy at 15 years old.
I think the main danger with raw meat is harmful bacteria (salmonela, listeria, e coli, etc). Basically the same things that make people sick if they're present and we don't cook the meat properly. They aren't always present, but it's kind of a gamble to keep feeding a cat raw meat.
Yeah I'll definitely keep that in mind as something to watch out for in what my cat eats. You know, once he finally gets done eating 1,000 mice and comes inside for some extra food...
what do you mean by tuna is occasional, but rice and corn are sure? Cats can't digest rice and corn, wtf?
Also raw chicken is never? Maybe in the USA only. We in other parts of the world vaccinate our chickens.
As a barn cat owner, everything on that list goes down the cats. They are my cleanup crew. Especially chicken bones as I don't trust the dogs with them.
No cat has ever choked on bones or become sick from eating scraps. If there are things like onions, they just don't eat them. In fact none of my cats have ever died of anything other than being eaten by coyotes or run over by trucks 😥
Meanwhile, the cats in my neighborhood: b Pigeons? Food! Rats? Food!
Blessed be those vermin exterminators.
I'd argue grapes are worse than onions and garlic.
My cat loves corn, chickpeas and 4 cheese pizza.
Glad to see blueberries on the Sure! list.
Those are my cat's favorite. I was as surprised as you!
Chicken bones??
Had a dog once years ago who managed to get at a piece of bone from KFC. The bone got stuck in her jaw and it was horrifying trying to get it out while she was choking on it.
My cats will sometimes steal our chicken and the chicken bone/meat connected to the bone gets stuck in the teeth and they walk around with a chicken bone hanging from their mouth until we can get it off.
It can be difficult because they kinda panic.
But my cat only eat raw meat. He just kicks all other ready to eat cat foods.
I have a cat who loves pistachios. I'm not going to tell him no.
Where does coffee feature on this list
ETA: this was fed to Crème Puff by her owner. Crème Puff is regarded as the longest lived domestic cat at 38 years.
Xanthines like the caffeine in coffee or the theobromine in chocolate are poisonous
Your cat drinks coffee????
