However, it&rsquo;s best to avoid giving your cat milk. Adult cats are lactose intolerant, which means drinking milk can lead to unpleasant digestive issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While kittens have plenty of lactase enzymes that help them digest milk, this ability decreases as they grow older. So, if you want to keep your cat happy and healthy, opt for lactose-free milk and let them enjoy it without discomfort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

We may even feel like rewarding them with a piece of chocolate, but unfortunately, it&rsquo;s not safe for cats. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consuming chocolate can cause symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, tremors, rapid heart rate, and in severe cases, even death. Thankfully, in today&rsquo;s world, plenty of pet-friendly treats are available, so opt for one of those instead, and let your furry friend enjoy a sweet bite that&rsquo;s safe for them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

However, for our feline friends, these foods can be life-threatening. Even a small amount can make a cat very ill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early signs of toxicity include repeated vomiting and hyperactivity. While some cats may show no immediate effects, it&rsquo;s safest to avoid giving them grapes or raisins altogether. Keep them off countertops and other areas accessible to your cat, as a precaution to protect their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Small bones, like those from poultry, can easily splinter and cause blockages or injuries in the digestive tract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also pose a serious choking hazard. Additionally, bones are hard and sharp, which can puncture your cat&rsquo;s mouth or stomach lining if swallowed.
