Thanks for the warning. It is very scary all of the things that can hurt us.
my goodness, I am so glad I don't really like any of those things (especially avocado - the humans love it though). FAZ
Thanks for sharing that list of dangerous foods. My humans knew about chocolate and dairy products, although they still let me lick the bottom of their cereal bowls or vanilla ice cream bowls. I haven't been affected by that little bit of milk.
That was really, really interesting, thanks! Like Dragonheart, Mom knew about some of them, but I also still get a little bit of yogurt every so often, and haven't had any problem.

Thanks for sharing this important info! Sometimes a little yogurt is good for you, especially those with probiotics. My VET said that its good to have a little if you're on antibiotics.
Latte
That you so much for completing this research! Mom will make sure that we don't get on the counter if she is cooking with some of these things!
Thank you for the information, the younger beans are always trying to feed something to the cats. I will put a stop to this today, don't want sick cats, we love them too much.
Those are very good tips. With the recent food scare our Mother is thinking of making our food now. We aren't sure about that. We have seen her cook before and usually the smoke alarm goes off.
Yup, our mom is furry careful 'bout what she feeds us. Zippy is the only one here who can akshooally digest lactose so we get CatsMilk which is lactose free. And yes, yogurt (a little bit) is good fur us. Dis is a furry good artikal and effury kitty pawrent shood reed it! Thank yoo fur doing dis resech.
whoa - we didn't know 'bout some of that! we're gonna print it out to show to the teenagers too. thank you!
I get yogurt for a treat because it doesn't upset kitty tummies. Just be sure if your humans give you some that it is plain with no sugar, fake sugar and stuff in it. I like Brown Cow plain the very best.
Do yoo know ware we can git sum yeest dough? We'd like to feed it to that psyko stray cat Tripper and watch his tummy ixplode!
A very good list, thank you furry much for posting it.
Wow, Kimo and Sabi, thank you so much for postin' that important information. My momma knew about some of those foods, but not all of 'em. You guys are furry helpful kittyfriends.
Excellent, informative post, Kimo & Sabi. And don't forget house plants - lots of those are dangerous for kitties. One of the worst is Easter lilies and that time of year is coming up. Even a few bites on a leaf or a lick of pollen can cause kidney failure!

This is amazing!!! Yoo two are sooo grate at alurting us to importunt stuff to save owr lives!!
Basicallie, if we eat yeest doo owr tummies will eggsplode!!! Wow, that's intense!
That's good to know - thanks for sharing!
Gosh guys, thanks for the warning. Glad to see your'e both OK with all this food scare going on.
This is a really good post! Thanks for posting this! We all need to make sure we're not giving our kitties bad food - but especially that our kitties can't get to the bad food when we're out of the house! We don't want them to get sick! :(
I guess it is a good thing that we only eat kibble afterall. Tracy was always telling us that people food isn't very good for kitties.
