Best Answer

I wouldn't, unless it's specifically designed for cats.

ADD:

There is another, more serious reason why not to soak dry cat food into ANY liquid for any amount of time: Believe it or not, bacteria can still be found in dry food as even the rigorous cooking process doesn't, more often than not, kill it all off. Soaking the food in water or broth encourages the bacteria to grow - which could be incredibly dangerous for the cats as this could lead to serious food poisoning from the bacteria. If you must soften the biscuits, don't leave them out for any more than 20 minutes - but if you wanted to feed soft food it would be highly advisable just to feed them a high-meat wet food instead.

Homemade chicken broth, as long as there is no added salt or any other flavourings, is just fine for the cat in tiny doses. Adding a small amount of chicken broth to the cat's water will entice it to drink more, especially if it is feeling poorly.

Is it safe to feed your cat real chicken not cat food?

Can a cat eat cooked chicken as a treat? Yes. Should a cat eat cooked chicken? If it was for a treat, yes. As part of the cat's main diet, no, definitely not. Cooked meat hasn't got any of the nutrients a cat requires. Good, high quality cat food has plenty of meat and added supplements to give a cat all it needs. Raw meat contains many nutrients for a cat, but such a diet needs to be carefully planned and must also consist of organs and bone for a raw diet to be nutritionally complete and balanced. First of all giving cats certain homemade food from time to time like roasted chicken is not a substitute for a carefully balanced diet. Second of all claiming that cooked meal has no nutritional value for cats is not true. Cooked chicken has plenty of protein, vitamin-A, & other enzymes that are not easily destroyed during the cooking process. Standard canned cat food is cooked and not raw. You just cannot start feeding your cats raw diet food out of the blue when they've been fed cooked can food or dry food most of their life's. They are pets & not wild animals that are living on prey. They don't have the proper immune system to deal with many bacteria like salmonella present in raw meat like chicken. Most important is to give them quality wet food with little or no filers or unnecessary garbage. And yes, you have to be willing to spend money on your babes and buy the best food money can buy. Providing your cat with high end food, proper litter, health insurance will run you about $100.00/month. What you will get in return is priceless!
