Some cat owners are confident that a cat can choose what to eat – supposedly the animal will never eat a product that can harm it.

Perhaps for this reason, the owners of purring pets treat them with food from their table from time to time.

Veterinarians are sounding the alarm: you should never do this, because the products that are common to us can harm your pet, or even cause its death.

What you shouldn't give to a cat

Sausages and hot dogs, which some cats love to eat, were banned – they are harmful to their liver and heart.

Decided to throw a piece of fried meat or lard into your cat's bowl? Consider that they are difficult to digest and look for a more suitable treat for your pet.

Don't make the mistake of offering Murka or Barsik flour products: cookies, pasta, etc. These products cause bloating and can negatively affect the animal's weight. Sugar and sweets lead to obesity: they also provoke the development of diabetes and worsen the condition of the teeth.

Bones and cartilage can get stuck in a cat's throat, and cats eating chocolate and cocoa can end up with heart and vascular problems.
