Thanksgiving Foods Cats Can and Can't Eat

Lean, cooked, unseasoned turkey meat is safe for cats in moderation. Avoid bones or skin.  

Turkey  

Skip the gravy! Onions, garlic and pepper in turkey gravy can cause anemia or stomach issues.   

Gravy  

A tiny bit of plain mashed potato is fine but no butter, milk, onions or garlic allowed!

Mash  

Only a small bite of plain bread in a pinch. Dough expands in cats causing dangerous bloating.

Bread 

Pumpkin is great but no pecan, sweet potato pie or any dessert with milk, sugar or xylitol.

Pie  

Low lactose cheeses like cheddar are safest option but limit due to high calories.

Cheese 

Plain cooked green beans, carrots, sweet potato offer vitamin boost but skip seasoning!
