Cats are fussy eaters, and that's why brands make sure that their foods meet feline standards. But some foods that we humans consume also happen to be safe for cats and can be fed to them in moderation. These foods take minimal time to prepare, and it is better to serve something wholesomely made in your kitchen rather than relying solely on packaged cat food. Here are a few choices to consider: Eggs Eggs pack nutrients that are beneficial for humans as well as safe to feed cats. In fact, eggs are a staple food ingredient found in different types of cat food, both wet and dry recipes. But ensure that you don’t feed them raw eggs as this increases the risk of salmonella. Lightly seasoned boiled or scrambled eggs are fine as long as given in moderate amounts. Vegetables and fruits Quite an assortment of vegetables and fruits that we eat are safe for cats. Cooked spinach is a popular nutritious option to consider as the veggie is rich in iron, calcium, vitamins A, C, and E. Pumpkin is an excellent choice low in calories and high in fiber. Cats can also safely munch on some banana slices, apples, blueberries, strawberries, pears, watermelon, and some cantaloupe. White meat Chicken and turkey are excellent human foods that are safe for cats. In fact, both these types of meat are lean sources of rich protein and are featured among the main ingredients found in commercially processed cat food. Serve only cooked portions of chicken and turkey after they are thoroughly cleaned. Remember to serve such meat in small amounts as your pets make take some time to get used to a new source of protein. A few slices of bacon and ham can be given on occasion. Salmon Cats love fish. Period! And there's no fish as nutritious and fatty as salmon. Salmon comes fully loaded with essential proteins and healthy omega 3 fatty acids that are necessary for boosting immunity and digestion. But again, ensure that the fish is properly cooked sufficiently baked, broiled, or even grilled and preferably without any seasoning. Never serve raw fish to kittens. Whole grains Cats are carnivores at their primal level, so many suggest that feeding them grains should be done sparingly. It is better to serve your pets small quantities of grains and give them time to get used to the foods without affecting their digestion. For example, the occasional piece of wheat bread is fine. Cats can also enjoy some oatmeal but avoid adding too much milk and sugar. Millet is a common grain ingredient found in cat foods so you can serve a small portion of cooked millets from time to time. Brown rice is a better alternative than plain rice as it is rich in fiber that is absolutely essential for digestion. Pets also harbor a lot of unwanted fleas and ticks that, if left unchecked, can create nuisance infestation. So, you can prevent this by employing simple home remedies. Add insect-repelling plants to the garden to prevent these pesky bugs from forming colonies. Also, use essential oils to create potent sprays that repel fleas from the fur and collar. Use citrus fruits to make an extract for homemade sprays as well. Even maintaining good home hygiene by vacuuming and cleaning out furnishings can prevent fleas and ticks from creating an infestation.
