Cats are carnivores, so they can utilize protein and fat better than any carbohydrates. While rice and bread is not toxic for them, they will be more likely to gain weight if they eat too many carbohydrates, so it is best to limit them to small treats only if at all. Be sure the read the label on the cheese chips to make sure there isn't any onion or garlic powder in them which can be toxic for cats. Otherwise, the same rule for carbohydrates applies to those as well. I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
