What about my cables, flip-flops and my backpack? Scratches seems to love eating these.

Dog food should be fine, it just lacks taurine so you shouldn't feed your cat exclusively with it (as with anything else on there), but if turkey is in the sure category then dog food should be there too.
I'd argue grapes are worse than onions and garlic.
Lol, our cat gets lots of random raw meat, yogurt, ice cream or really any leftovers, which often enough includes onions in the sauce, anything she doesn't refuse to eat outright and she's still surprisingly healthy at 15 years old.
I think the main danger with raw meat is harmful bacteria (salmonela, listeria, e coli, etc). Basically the same things that make people sick if they're present and we don't cook the meat properly. They aren't always present, but it's kind of a gamble to keep feeding a cat raw meat.
what do you mean by tuna is occasional, but rice and corn are sure? Cats can't digest rice and corn, wtf?
Also raw chicken is never? Maybe in the USA only. We in other parts of the world vaccinate our chickens.
My cat loves corn, chickpeas and 4 cheese pizza.
Meanwhile, the cats in my neighborhood: b Pigeons? Food! Rats? Food!
Blessed be those vermin exterminators.
As a barn cat owner, everything on that list goes down the cats. They are my cleanup crew. Especially chicken bones as I don't trust the dogs with them.
No cat has ever choked on bones or become sick from eating scraps. If there are things like onions, they just don't eat them. In fact none of my cats have ever died of anything other than being eaten by coyotes or run over by trucks 😥
Glad to see blueberries on the Sure! list.
Those are my cat's favorite. I was as surprised as you!
Chicken bones??
My cats will sometimes steal our chicken and the chicken bone/meat connected to the bone gets stuck in the teeth and they walk around with a chicken bone hanging from their mouth until we can get it off.
It can be difficult because they kinda panic.
Just out of curiosity: What is the issue with the avocados?
I assume it is fat density. Imagine if a human ate an avocado the size of their head. That'd be way too much fat, saturated or not. Probably ok in very small slices. But you know, consult your vet.
You're gonna be shocked to learn that the pics don't represent portion size. Unless you think a cat could actually eat an entire pineapple.
But my cat only eat raw meat. He just kicks all other ready to eat cat foods.
I have a cat who loves pistachios. I'm not going to tell him no.
Where does coffee feature on this list
ETA: this was fed to Crème Puff by her owner. Crème Puff is regarded as the longest lived domestic cat at 38 years.
Xanthines like the caffeine in coffee or the theobromine in chocolate are poisonous
Your cat drinks coffee????
Dog food? Dogs like cat food. Are they not interchangeable? I haven't ever seen a cat eat dog food now that I think about it.
