    looking for advice on food

    Just wondering if there is anything these cats shouldnt eat, just that Bramble seems to eat everything (just like a dog), her favourite seems to be dog food which given that he steals hers if I walk out the room seems fair but she will quite often eat his food even when there is a full bowl of hers there, she also likes vegetables I discovered this the other day after leaving the dinner plates on the table while I put the kids to bed I came downstairs to find her munching her way through a piece of brocolli they had left so just wondering if there is anything she shouldnt eat that could be harmful etc
    thanks
    Lizz

    Oh, and garlic isn't good for them too. (For some reason it's not on the list I linked to.)

    The only thing I would say is be a bit careful how much dog food she does eat compared to her cat food,they have different requirements on the supplements etc in them,we have one that loves hot curry,for obvious reasons not allowed tooooo much of that...!

    True, that ^^^^
    For one thing, dogfood is too low in taurine for cats, as dogs are able to synthesise taurin but cats aren’t.
