Anyone who eats pickles are GROSS.

Other items include:

FISH

Canned fish, like tuna, is fine to share with your kitty in small portions. Though your feline will probably try to beg for a bigger bite, it is important to keep it small. This will prevent your cat from ingesting too much mercury, fatty acids and magnesium, which can cause health problems. Your furry friend's diet should never solely consist of canned fish. 

BEEF

Though they may look cute and cuddly, cats are downright ferocious carnivores. The feline body is built to thrive on meat. If you choose to feed your cat beef, you should give only small amounts and always avoid fatty portions. Kitties have obesity issues too, so make sure you keep their best interest in mind when giving them a bit of beef. Raw meat is also not the best choice due to food-borne illnesses. 

CHEESE

Again, small is the key word when it comes to treating your kitty. Cheese is a good source of protein for felines, but since many cats are lactose intolerant, larger portions can cause digestive issues. Try feeding your friend cottage cheese or low-lactose cheeses before attempting anything richer. Most importantly, make sure to make dairy a special surprise, not an everyday treat.

LEAN DELI MEATS

Serving deli meats such as turkey, ham and chicken can be a delicious way to snazz up your cat's meals. It is important to check any meat you plan on feeding your cat for preservatives, flavorings and other additives. Additionally, portions should be kept small and used only as a snack, not as your feline's main source of food.
