What human foods are safe for my cat and what should I avoid?

Question

Hi I was just wondering what human foods can cats eat? What fruit? Vegetables? Meat? Etc... and what foods should they NOT eat? I know chocolate and sugar is bad since toxic/poison to them. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 months and 18 days old | 10 lbs

Great questions! Because there are so many foods cats can and can't have, I will put links to websites that detail them out. Keep in mind that while cats can have very small amounts of cheese, they are lactose intolerant, so low lactose cheese is best. Cats love tuna, but too much isn't healthy due to mercury levels. They can have small amounts of tuna in spring water. Never feed a cat onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, alcohol, and macadamia nuts among others. Also when feeding human food, make it an occasional treat, not an every day treat as that can lead to weight gain. If Luna becomes overweight, she will be prone to cardiac disease, diabetes, and joint problems among other illnesses.
