I've recently got a 5 month old female cat. She seems to be very curious about different sorts of food. Her favourite food appears to be: 1) yoghurt; 2) ham; and 3) roast chicken. But I wondered, is it good to feed yoghurt and ham to cats (I assume that roast chicken is OK)? Could someone give me some advice on feeding cat?

Yes, there's certainly plenty of roasted chicken roaming about in the wild! lol.

She'll like cheese as well, but you should provide her with some catfood as this will contain all the nutrients she needs.

I believe cats are very sensitive to sodium, so perhaps ham might not be best.

That's what wrong with my car - I didn't know it needed to eat. 🙄

You shouldn't feed ham or cheese to cats, nor should you feed them chocolate or onions. To a greater or less extent such foodstuffs will make them ill, sick, or give you bad poo to clean up.

What do you think petrol stations are for? Every child knows that cars and cats eat petrol.

Yoghurt won't be that great either. Basically dairy is likely to upset a cat's digestion. You can buy special cat milk though.

I've always given cheese and cows milk to my cats. They haven't had any health issues.

I know it's not natural. But I think it's healthy to feed cooked meat rather than raw meat. Heating kills germs including deadly bird-flu viruses, i expect.

P.S. Roast chicken aren't roaming about in the wild, unfortunately.

*shrug*

I guess every cat is different. I think it's generally accepted that lots of milk isn't that great for them, because they are lactose-intolerant.

Do you find that after feeding your cats milk they become a bit sluggish and sleepy? That's what happened to my cat who was a bit of a milkaholic. We stopped giving her milk and after a day or two she had much more energy and was jumping around everywhere.

Also, on catfood. You should feed your cats the dry food with some water on the side. The wet stuff in tins makes them have hairballs.
