Their digestive systems work differently.

According to a famous Vet Dr.Jeff Werber “start whipping out the fish oil cat supplements.” We would see many pet owners only like to feed fish oil to pups and leave cats. The fact is fish oils are as good for cats as well just like they are good for other animals. You will find Omega 3 in fish oil that prevents dryness of skin in the winter by keeping them warm.

#4 Eggs

Dr. Wismer says “Eggs are rich in proteins and Vitamin B which are absolutely safe to feed cats on.” The eggs need to be cooked in order to avoid food borne diseases. Some pets sometime have to suffer such diseases because of eating some foods that are not right for them or they are uncooked. Specially the cats.

Eggs are included in many cat foods that are available commercially. They are crucial ingredients because they have many health benefits.

Cantaloupe is loved by everyone. It is something we would love to eat just any day. Cantaloupe has antioxidants and beta-carotene which helps many pets including cats to retain good health, it also increases their eye sight. Dr. Wismer believes, “Cantaloupe is one of many cat-friendly fruits."

So next time, when you have nothing but Cantaloupe and the conditions are like these. Don't hesitate to feed your cat. They are delicious to eat and easy to digest. Same goes for cats as well. Their digestive system accepts it and digests it well.

Dogs are omnivores but cats are not they are carnivores. They need meat most of the time. Even if they have preference still their digestive system would not work for just any food. According to Weber”cats don’t like every human food that dogs do. But they love just any type of chicken".

Chicken is a good source of lean protein. Taking care of the hygiene of foods is necessary. Don't feed cats with raw chicken; make sure to skin it off first before cooking. Many cats food have chicken as important ingredient which provides them good and strength as well.

There are number of other foods that we eat as well. You can feed cats with these foods after following the instructions provided by experts. You can read the complete list of human foods fit for cats.
