7 Things You Should Never Feed Your Cat

Onions and garlic, along with other members of the allium family, are highly toxic to cats. Both cooked and raw forms can cause severe damage to their red blood cells, leading to a dangerous condition called hemolytic anemia.

Chocolate is well-known for being toxic to dogs, but it’s also dangerous for cats. Theobromine and caffeine, two compounds in chocolate, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and even death if ingested in large amounts.

Even a small amount of alcohol can have serious effects on your cat’s health. Alcohol poisoning can lead to vomiting, lethargy, and, in severe cases, liver damage or coma.

Cats are highly sensitive to caffeine, and consuming even a small amount can result in rapid heart rate, hyperactivity, tremors, and potentially life-threatening complications.

Grapes and raisins are dangerous for both cats and dogs, although the exact toxin isn’t fully understood. In cats, ingestion can lead to kidney failure. Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite, often followed by more severe kidney-related complications
