Cats are carnivores, but same as nearly any plant, some broccoli will not harm them if they do not eat too much of it on a regular basis.

Do not force feed your pets. Their instincts know best what their body needs, so if they decide to eat some broccoli, you shouldn't worry.

Plantlife however, should not exceed more than 10% of their diet. An excess could cause digestive problems, or over a long term, organ damage.

Here is a list of plants which are poisonous to cats:

Here are some interesting cat diet facts I've come across:

"All cats require taurine, an amino acid that is important for normal heart function, vision and reproduction. Although most mammals can make taurine from other amino acids in the body, cats cannot. Since taurine is found only in animal-based protein, all cats need meat-based diets to meet their nutritional requirements."

"Milk should not be fed to cats as a treat or a substitute for water. [Adult] cats do not possess significant amounts of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. Feeding milk and milk-based products to cats can actually cause them to vomit or have diarrhea."

The healthiest diet for a cat consists mostly of raw meat.
