Hi,
I feed my cat wet food twice a day and free feed dry food all day. She is healthy, (according to the vet, the healthiest cat he has seen in a long time in our town) at a decent weight and is open to different foods.
I was wondering if I could occasionally feed her table scraps. I rarely cook and when I do cook, I cook for two so theres hardly any scraps. Today my nephew came over and I made hamburgers (slight onions in the beef) my nephew had a bite and left it which made me wonder if this is ok to feed to my cat? She is an adopted feral cat so I am assuming she is accustomed to scraps.
When I am making a roast (chicken, turkey or beef) I always cut a small piece of the meat and boil it separate for her without any salt or spice. So my real question is, occasionally is it ok to feed cats scraps with spice, onions garlic etc? OCCASIONALLY this is not something I will do regularly as I know onions and garlic are not safe.
Also please don't judge my ignorance! I am very new to cats (practically forced to adopt her when I found her sick in front of my door) and am finding my way around to give her a decent standard of living.
