7  Human Foods Harmful To Cats

Billy Rogers

Milk and Dairy

Contrary to popular belief, milk and dairy cause stomach issues in cats like vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea since they're lactose intolerant; cats are obligate carnivores.

Onions

Onions, raw or cooked, are toxic to cats and can damage their red blood cells and kidneys; always check food labels and avoid sharing dishes with onions, as even small amounts.

Garlic

Garlic, like onions, is toxic to cats; avoid feeding cats any cooked meat or fish that contains garlic, as it can cause similar health issues including damage to red blood cells, leading to anemia.

Alcohol

Alcohol is highly toxic to cats; keep alcoholic beverages and products with methanol or isopropyl alcohol out of their reach, as these can cause severe poisoning, central nervous.

Chocolate

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is toxic to cats and can cause coma; keep all chocolate away from cats due to theobromine content and high sugar and fat levels.

Grapes and Raisins

Grapes and raisins are toxic to cats and can cause severe health issues, such as kidney failure; keep these fruits and related foods like fruitcakes and granola bars away from cats, as even a small amount.

Currants

Currants are similar to raisins and equally harmful to cats; avoid letting your cat consume foods containing currants, which can lead to digestive issues like diarrhea and abdominal pain.
