7 Foods You Shouldn’t Give Your Cat

2. Chocolate: a deceptive sweetness

Chocolate contains theobromine, a stimulant that the cat’s body  cannot properly eliminate . It is one of the most well-known toxins.

Possible symptoms  : vomiting, tremors, convulsions, heart rhythm disturbances.
Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are the most toxic.

3. Caffeine: A Silent Threat

Present in coffee, tea or sodas, caffeine acts directly on the cat’s central nervous system.

Risks  : agitation, palpitations, convulsions, and in extreme cases, cardiac arrest.

4. Dairy products: a myth to be deconstructed

Contrary to popular belief,  most adult cats are lactose intolerant . Milk, cream, or yogurt can cause digestive problems.

Avoid  : regular dairy products.
Use  : fresh, regularly changed water.
