Hello. Many cats develop a taste for human food, including unusual things like fruits, vegetables, & yes, chips. My cat goes nuts tor tortilla chips & bananas. But, they can be incredibly picky, too. You can feed cooked turkey, chicken & hamburger, but I would stay away from the sausage because of all the additional fats & salt it contains. A tiny taste is OK ( same with a tiny taste of the chips for your other cat ), & make sure they eat their regular cat food well. A treat now & then is fine.
