Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2006Chicken Broth
I'm wondering this... I've put him on one can of food per day, and the dry food bowl is always available for nibbling. He prefers above all else Friskies Poultry Platter. Now when I open the can and plop it in a bowl I also give him the can to lick clean of juice. And I notice he really ~loves~ the juice. I'm thinking I can make him a gravy of sorts for that poultry platter. Is it safe to feed a cat cans of chicken and beef broth? The chicken and beef broths that we eat ourselves, the stuff for humans. Is this safe for a cat???? as long as you also feed them ASPCA approved cat food so they can get all the vitamins they need, cats can eat everything humans can eat. except cow milk and chocholate. > I'm wondering this...

Not true. There are a number of foods that cats cannot ingest -- for example, anything with onions. I would also be wary of using commercially-prepared chicken broth in large quantities unless you can find some that is *very* low in sodium. Most canned chicken broth is loaded with sodium. MaryL MaryL is it true that cats cannot drink cow milk? or cow cream? I know people who put out milk for stray cats... > > as long as you also feed them ASPCA approved cat food so they can get > > all the vitamins they need, cats can eat everything humans can eat.

Many cats get diarrhea (sometimes severe) from milk (even worse from cream). At best, they should only be given small amounts. On the other hand, my grandfather was a farmer and I remember watching him squirt milk at the cats as they lined up behind the cow with their mouths wide-open.
