Can I feed salted meat to my cat?
I heard people saying that you can't feed a cat any meat that is spiced at all. But now i read in the internet that some salt is ok.
So can or can i not give my cat the rest of my t-bone-steak?
Answers:
I give my cats steak and pork chops all the time and it has salt in it! They are perfectly healthy. In the old days, cats used to eat table scraps, they didn't feed the cats cat food and they were healthy so give your cat a treat and give her or him the rest of your steak! The cat will love you!!
The cat won't eat it if it doesn't think it's ok.it's not a dog that will just eat anything! Make sure the cat has fresh water just in case the salt causes a bit of dehydration.
You can give it to her; if she doesn't want it, she won't eat it. Be sure she has plenty of fresh water nearby, just as you would want if you ate something salty.
not a good idea..exessive salt is not good for their kidneys.
I thought the only meat you weren't supposed to give to cats was pork. We always give our cat tuna in brine when we give her tuna because she loves the salty taste. She doesn't seem any worse off for it.
giving salty food to a cat is a really, really bad idea. cat's kidneys are pretty fragile things, and are not designed to be able to cope with salt like we can. i honestly don't think it's worth the risk.
look i know we all like to spoil our cats put salted food isnt good at all the reason is there body doesnt process the salt to well and can get sick the veterinary always advices to buy food whitout so much sodium
I would assume the amount of salt on your left-over steak whould not be excessive enough to harm your cat. I think you should stay away from heavily salted human foods like bologna or other "luncheon" meat, ham or pork (considered to fatty for cats), jerky etc.
caurse you can if the cat don't wan't it it won't eat it
no unless its specially for cats
Well, it may be ok, but it isn't good. And usually the amount of salt that is enough for us will be too much for the good of a cat.
Also, it's not exactly best for the cat to feed them cooked meat. Cooked in any way. Cooking destroys what they most need in meat, taurine - which their bodies cannot produce.
Raw, unspiced meat is always a safe bet.
no no no . Salt will damage their kidneys.
NO WAY! I kept my cat to a strict diet of cat food only. She got boiled liver for her birthday and Christmas Day only. She lived to a ripe and very healthy age of 16. She looked 6 and not 16. I would strongy advise you feed your cat proper cat food only unless otherwise stated by your vet.
Yes, that's fine, my cats help themselves off my plate. They are very clever creatures and know if something is good or bad for them and will not eat it if they don't like it.
Cut the steak up in little pieces and give the bone to your cat as well, that will bring out the tiger in them.
