Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2005Is raw cabbage safe for cats to eat ?
My cat (unbelievably) seems to frequently seem to want to eat all sorts of "very un=cat like" foods, including canned peas, carrot, asparagus spears (and the juice in the tin too). generally if he sees me eating it, most times he will want it too. (PS. I don't eat chocolate - so don't panic) he (and his younger brother) both also eat canned and dry cat food most days, they are not fed on these 'vegetarian' foods every day, in fact he has these very infrequently :) though today he really surprised me by 'demanding' some of the raw cabbage I was slicing up. I gave him a few pieces of it and he happily ate them, and wanted more. Some hours later - the thought occured to me, is this stuff all right for cats to eat ? i know its a rather strange situation, but any advice would be appreciated. >though today he really surprised me by 'demanding' some of the raw >cabbage I was slicing up.

Watch out for those cat farts though. I used to have a cat that LOVED onions...he would eat them right from your mouth if you didn't give him some of his own, but, boy those farts were killers! He could clear a room in seconds! > >though today he really surprised me by 'demanding' some of the raw >>cabbage I was slicing up.

A special treat for her was when we got a whole chicken, she would go apesh*t over raw chicken liver. > >I used to have a cat that LOVED onions...he would eat them right from > >your [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > special treat for her was when we got a whole chicken, she would go > apesh*t over raw chicken liver.
