Can cats eat ham?
Hi
I was wondering if it is ok to feed cats and kittens toupie ham? Not for the main meal, but a few pieces when feeding at their regualr time? I haven't been feeding them "real meat" until I found this forum. ![]() I have a male cat 6 years, and two kittens about 4 months old. Thanks Debbie ![]() |

Ham is generally not recommended for feeding to cats. The salt level is fairly high, the fat content is as well this makes it harder for them to digest.

It is better to stick with chicken, hamburger meat aslong as there is no spices, sauces especially with onions in it.

I should also mention stay away from processed deli meats they're also high in salt & nitrates
![]() Turkey and salmon are also good to give as treats. Turkey digests abit slower than chicken but still good. Salmon you have to watch ![]() ![]() ![]() Your welcome ![]()

Addicted? Bad or good addiction? I do have whole salmons in our freezer here. *G*
I thought I read somewhere about not giving tuna to a cat because they can become addicted to that seriously. It might have been something Pam Bennett Johnson wrote, I'm having a senior moment here and I can't remember. *S* |

Here is some info on why feeding fish to cats isn't such a great idea: http://catnutrition.wordpress.com/20...ding-for-cats/

![]() ![]() Definately no on the tuna it is far more addicting than salmon & not as healthy as salmon. My grrl is raw fed & gets salmon once a month just for something different. If I am cooking salmon for myself she is a complete pest until she gets a wee bit & until she is assured there is no more - that it's all gone ![]() ![]()
