will sharing a chocolate cookie with my 1 yr old cat harm him
I made chocolate chip cookies and i was wondering about sharing some with my cat but don't want to hurt him. I don't think a little bit would bother him, what do you guys think?
Answers:Hi Francis.many human foods are not healthy for our pet animals. Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine, which acts as both a diuretic and a cardiac stimulant. It will speed up their heart rate, with possibly fatal results in the case of larger amounts. Other symptoms of chocolate poisoning include diarrhea, excessive urination, muscle tremors, and vomiting. The problem is that cats and dogs like the taste of chocolate and will try to eat it-- so it's the pet owner's job to keep them away from it. If your cat accidentally had a small taste of chocolate sometime in the past and seemed to come out of it okay, it isn't the end of the world. One lick of ice cream won't hurt it, but an ounce of chocolate is definitely toxic to a 10-pound cat, and enough to cause the above symptoms.
Other substances that are harmful to cats are caffeine, alcohol, avocadoes, fruit stems and seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and onions and garlic. Onions will cause diarrhea and vomiting in both cats and dogs and, if eaten in large quantities, will rupture red blood cells and cause anemia. Another fact, despite the traditional image of the kitten lapping up cream from a saucer, is that cats are lactose-intolerant.
i think chocolate applys to cats 2
stick to the cat food! Cat's aren't meant to have chocolate cookies!
No, a nibble or two won't hurt him. Cats are finicky, he may not eat it anyway
he will die trust me i tried and my cat died :-(
hopefully
Yes, sharing chocolate with any animal is harmful. It can kill them so please, do your cat a favor and don't let him near anything chocolate.
I know that chocolate will kill a dog.ask your vet about if it will kill cats or make them sick.
chocolate in small amounts will not harm your cat.if he got ahold of the whole bag a chocolate chips, that's when you should be concerned!
The sugar really isn't good for cats.
I guess it can hurt them---the chemicals in the chocolate can be deadly.
Yes! Chocolate is TOXIC to cats! Don't do it!
