**Attention All Cat Owners! These Foods Are Off-Limits for Cats!**
❌ **[Not Safe]**
Cats can't eat certain foods mainly because they lack the same digestive capabilities as humans.
1️⃣ **Staple Foods:**
Rice with starch, glutinous rice, fried foods, leftovers
2️⃣ **Snacks:**
Caffeine, chocolate, nuts, raw eggs
3️⃣ **Fruits:**
Citrus, grapes, peaches, cherries, persimmons, avocados, waxberries

5️⃣ **Meats:**

6️⃣ **Seafood:**

✅ **[Safe but in Moderation]**
Cats are obligate carnivores, and they can eat most animal meats. However, they don’t need to eat the same vegetables and grains people do, and fruits are not necessary. Overconsumption can cause digestive issues or even poisoning. Too much sugar is also not good for cats. So if you're unsure whether a vegetable is safe, it’s best not to feed it to them!
It's recommended to peel and remove seeds from fruits before feeding, leaving only the flesh, and cutting it into small pieces.
