Having a cat comes with a lot of responsibilities, and one of the biggest is making sure your cat doesn’t consume anything that is toxic. Cat’s have their own unique digestive system that can only digest a certain range of foods and nutrients. Since cat’s bodies are extremely small, consuming only a small amount of a toxic substance can sometimes have serious health effects. For this reason, it is extremely important that you educate yourself on what types of food your cat can and cannot eat. This is very important if you like to cook a lot, because if something happens to fall on the floor, your cat can be there in a second licking it up before you even look down.
