My cat is always hungry. What human foods can she safely eat?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 years and 3 months old | 6 lbs

I have a cat who, as she's lived with me for three months, is now excited about meal times since unlike the shelter I feed her wet canned food instead of kibble. When I got her the vet said Aurum has an ideal figure at six pounds. But now she acts hungry and while I have changed her meals from two to three a day, I'd like to feed her a snack or two to tide her over. Not being a dog I can't simply give her a carrot and while I do have healthy cat treats, is there anything else she can eat?

Skinless, Boiled boneless chicken breast torn into small pieces is a great snack option. This is also my favorite supplement to add to her regular diet as well, it may help her feel more satisfied; http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=32867
