7 Healthy Human Foods Cats Can Eat

  1. Vegetables
  2. If you notice your cat chewing on houseplants, they may be in need of more fiber in their diet. Substitute those lush leaves (which may be topped with toxic pesticides) for small portions of baked or steamed vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, asparagus, or squash.
  3. Whole Grains
  4. Whole or unrefined grains are a great human food to give your cat. Unlike refined grains, whole grains contain the full amount of vitamins, iron, and fiber that give them nutritional value. Your cat can enjoy a well-balanced diet of human foods such as oatmeal (with water), maize, and brown rice.
  5. Eggs
  6. Rich in protein, iron, and other minerals, cooked eggs are a great addition to your feline’s diet. Raw eggs, however, create a risk for salmonella and E. coli, so be sure to thoroughly scramble those eggs before sharing them with your cat.
  7. Cheese
  8. Much like little humans, many kittens enjoy milk and grow to be lactose intolerant later in life. Still, small amounts of cheese and milk can prove useful in getting a sick cat to take their medicine.
  9. Avocados
  10. Avocados are not only a tasty and safe human food for cats to eat, but they are also abundant in vitamins A, C, E, and B6—all of which are vital to the health of your cat’s skin and coat.
  11. Meat
  12. Cats are ‘obligate carnivores,’ meaning that meat is a non-negotiable part of their diet. Keep your cat happy and healthy with hearty meals that include meats like chicken, turkey, and duck.
  13. Fish
  14. Both cats and dogs only produce a fraction of the omega-3 that they need to maintain a healthy and balanced ratio of fatty acids. Your furry friend can find the right proportions of these nutrients in human foods for cats such as salmon, tuna, herring, and crab.
