I recommend no more than a Tablespoon of scraps at a time. <br /><br> <br /><br>Suggested scraps are: Meats without bones, cooked vegetables, cooked grains, and brown rice. <br /><br> <br /><br>TABLE SCRAPS YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE YOUR KITTY: Corn is very difficult for our pets to digest. Chocolate has chemicals that are toxic to almost all pets. <br /><br>Sweets are not good for our kitties, since their systems are not desgined to process the sugars as easily as human bodies. <br /><br> <br /><br>Bones, cooked or raw, are a definite NO-NO. <br /><br>There is a movement to feed pets raw uncooked meat-bones included, but my vet tech lost a puppy from a perferated colon when he couldn�t properly chew and digest a bone. My parents lost a Siamese when she choked on a pork chop bone. <br /><br> <br /><br>It is safer to not let your cat or kitten have bones, unless they are ground to a fine mush or powder. <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br>All credits for this tip go to: <a href="http://cat.lifetips.com">Cat Tips Site</a> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br>Pontius Family Blogsnoreply@blogger.com
