    Turkey? Heck no - my cats LOVE it! Cats are carnivores and need their meat. Be careful feeding only fish, though as they don't get all the nutrients they need and I know feeding tuna all time can actually be harmful.

    About the ONLY thing that Princess Cammie will eat is turkey. She eats a jar or 2 of human baby food (turkey) each day. It soothes her tempermental tummy.

    Kuhio used to eat cheetos, doritos and nachos with jalepeno peppers. She wouldn't eat the whole pepper. She'd lick and chew all the cheese off of it and spit it out. She also loved canned mushrooms and green beans. She lived to the ripe 'ole age of 17, so I don't think human food every now and then will hurt.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Wow! Chuck won't eat hardly any people food. He does like cheese though. But even steak or chicken, I will cut it up TINY and he will only eat 3-4 pieces and then let the dog have it. He prefers his crunchies I guess~

    I learned the hard way that the oats and cashew nuts Ted loved with a passion were partly responsible for his developing oxalate crystals when he was about 5 years old. He first blocked before he was 1 year old and they diagnosed struvite crystals. Unfortunately, the acidified foods he was put on afterwards, plus the oats and nuts, gave him the other kind of crystals. A little would have been okay, but he would tear into the bags if they weren't in the fridge and gorge himself.
