What is the best food to feed your cat if you don't have cat food?

Answer 1

Most of your kitty's diet should be a nutritionally complete cat food, but you can give

them a treat from your plate every once in a while. You just need to know how

to choose feline-friendly snacks with nutrients they need. And if you do give

them fish, be sure it isn't raw.

Meat

Cats are meat eaters, plain and simple. They have to have protein from meat for a strong heart, good vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and small amounts of lean deli meats are a great way to give them that. Raw or spoiled meat could make your cat sick. If you wouldn't eat it, don't give it to your pet.

Whole Grains

Oats have a lot of protein per calorie, and they're easy to make. Many cats like corn, and polenta, a coarsely ground cornmeal, has a good texture for them. You can try brown rice, barley, and wheat berries, but you may need to MASH them first. Cats tend to like smaller grains like millet and couscous. Just make sure any grains you give are cooked so your kitty can digest them fully. Whole wheat breadcrumbs are OK, too.

Fish

Fish have a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which help your cat's eyes stay sharp as well as help with Arthritis, kidney disease, and heart disorders. Canned or cooked fish is fine for a treat. But don't share your shashimi or sushi with raw fish. Raw fish in general isn't a good idea.

Cheese

Cheese is a high-protein snack that's fine for your cat in small amounts. But the protein in cheese is less "complete" than the kind in meat, fish, and eggs. Also, many cats' tummies can't handle dairy, so go easy on the cheesy treats, and skip the saucer of milk.

Foods Cats Shouldn’t Eat

Steer clear of these foods when sharing your snacks. They're toxic to cats:

Chocolate

Grapes and raisins

Onions and garlic

Macadamia nuts

Bread dough

Alcohol

Xylitol, an artificial sweetener found in sugar-free gum and candy

Don't let curiosity, well, you know. Keep foods not meant for your cat in a place they can't get to them.

Answer 2

Cooked or raw meat such as chicken or beef. However, unless you are providing a fully balanced raw or cooked diet, a high quality cat food is best. Feeding meat for a few meals will not cause any harm, but it is advisable not to feed just muscle meat (chicken breast, legs, etc.) as it does not provide all the nutrients a cat needs.

Answer 3

Boiled and cut up pieces of chicken mixed with rice and eggs would be a healthy substitute for cat food. Also including some cooked vegetables with that mixture would be a good idea. Avoid onions, tomatoes, and dairy. Do not season (salt, pepper, herbs) the food you are preparing for your cat.

Answer 4

You can give several non-meat foods that will benefit the cat as a treat or as a supplement to the main diet. You can give it:

• Fish, especially oily fish such as pilchards.
• Eggs.
• Liver (preferably pigs liver), although only in small amounts.

Answer 5

The most common type of food that is fed besides dry food is canned or wet cat food. Wet food is thought to be better in terms of it is easier to find brands that are high in meat content and moisture and low in cereals and grain, which ultimately are easier for a kitten to digest. Many dry food brands are high cereals which cats do not need in their diet and do not benefit a kitten at all.
