Every cat parent knows that kittens are carnivores and love meat, but people are always skeptical about cats being seafood eaters. That’s why many people ask, “Can I feed clams to my cat?” just like you.

So, the answer to this question is fortunately ‘Yes.’ But they shouldn’t be the only thing on your sweetheart’s diet.

To perfectly feed clams to your cat without any worries of consequences, you have to read this article thoroughly. So, let’s dig in without further ado:

Can You Feed Clams to Your Cat?

[su_note note_color=”#72E8E1″ text_color=”#000000″ radius=”18″]Yes, cats can eat clams, but only in moderation. Clams are rich in protein, taurine, and essential vitamins. However, avoid raw or overly salty clams to prevent health risks.[/su_note]

But what exactly do clams contain?

Do they contain anything specific that attracts cats?

Are clams nutritionally right for cats?

Let’s find out:

Nutritional Value of Clams: Is it Safe for Your Cat?

Talking about, clams contain good amount of calories (74kcal per 100g) that are even enough for humans. A grown cat should be fed nothing more than 400 calories which means that you shouldn’t feed too many clams to your pet.

Clams mainly consist of protein and that’s what cats need. This might be the reason why your cat always wants it. Another good thing about clams is that they don’t have any fiber or sugar because they should be included in cat’s diet as they can cause common issues like diarrhea.

Moreover, extremely low amount of fat and handsome amount of micronutrients like Vitamin B12 and C make clams more edible for cats.

Benefits of Feeding Clams to Your Cat

To know what benefits clams have for your feline, we have to dig deeper into components of clams. So, let’s go it:

Great Source of Protein and Vitamins

We all know that cats need protein no matter where they get it until or unless the food they are consuming is not toxic. In that regard, clams are great, if not ideal.

Other than protein, being rich in other vitamins like C and B12 is another specialty of clams. Not just vitamins but also other micronutrients like zinc and iron are great for physical health of cats (if not excessively).

Good for Cats with Taurine Deficiency

Taurine deficiency is quite common in cats but parents feel that it’s severe and can damage cat’s physical wellness badly. That’s why they panic and do something unwanted. If your cat is also facing the same problem, the solution is either in your fridge or seafood supermarket.

Note: Even if you are sure about your cat’s taurine deficiency, there should be no shame in first discussing it with the vet if you have any doubts in mind.

Risks Involved in Feeding Clams to Your Cat

Even after being an amazingly beneficial food item for cats, clams can be risky. But what risks are involved here? Let’s find out:

Digestive Sensitivity

Some cats especially small kittens are quite sensitive in many manners and one of them is the digestive system. You can get an idea of your cat’s digestive sensitivity by knowing whether it can digest milk or not.

If it can’t digest milk, it will never digest something like clams. In this case, clams might not be the right choice for your friend even if it has taurine deficiency.

Sodium Overload

Clams in general aren’t a problem in this case, but cooked and packed clams are mostly overloaded with sodium in the form of salt and preservatives. Cats can’t resist sodium as it’ll cause various problems for them due to dehydration:

• Kidney problems
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Sickness (common)

Seafood Allergy

Seafood in general is non-toxic to cats and they love having some. But there have been signs of seafood allergy in cats. Seafood allergy is usually seen in younger cats. This issue is kind of related to sensitive digestive system of cats because usually, kitties with weak stomachs tend to have more seafood allergies (but it’s not proven).

Choking Hazard

As you are a responsible parent, we are sure you won’t make any mistakes that can harm your kitty. But to be aware of it, it’s important for you to know that clams you feed to your cat must be cooked, clean, and fresh.

When we say ‘clean,’ it doesn’t just mean washed. Instead, it also means that there shouldn’t be even traces of the shell as it can become a choking hazard.

FAQs

Can You Feed Raw Clam to Your Cat?

It’s a big NO!

Clams and especially their shell contains uncountable amount of harmful bacteria and toxins. Hence, letting your cat eat raw clams at the beach isn’t even an option. Moreover, if you think rinsing the meat after taking it out of the shell will do the job, you’re wrong as cooking is the only option you have.

Can you feed canned clams to your cat?

Yes but………

Same as hand-picked clams, canned ones should also be cooked. Moreover, you have to ensure that the can you are buying doesn’t have excessive amount of sodium (salt or preservatives).

Can your cat drink clam juice as well?

Yes!

Clam juice is even sad to be more nutritious and beneficial for felines than clam itself. But again, you have to eliminate salt out of equation partially if you can’t do it completely.

• Tip: If you don’t know what clam juice is, it’s actually the water that is left behind when clam is cooked.

Final Takeaway

Hence, you now know that whenever you buy clams for yourself, you should also buy them for your best friend because they are amazingly rich in nutrition for cats. However, it does never mean that you can let your cat eat clams on the beach whenever you go there. Moreover, clams have some components that can become a problem for your friend if fed excessively so keep an eye on your cat’s diet and take care of your favorite creature.

A hot bowl of chicken noodle soup is a great way to soothe yourself in cold weather. But is it the same for cats. Can you feed chicken noodle soup to your cat?

Being a great fanatic of chicken noodle soup, you must be wondering whether you should share it with your closest friend.

It’s a straight NO. No expert will ever allow you to give chicken noodle soup to your cat. But it’s also not a toxic food item.

To get answers to your questions like why chicken noodle soup is a “No” for cats, read this short but comprehensive article carefully:

Can Cats Eat Chicken Noodle Soup?

[su_note note_color=”#72E8E1″ text_color=”#000000″ radius=”18″]No, cats should not eat chicken noodle soup. It contains harmful ingredients like garlic, onions, and salt that can cause dehydration, anemia, and digestive issues.[/su_note]

What does Chicken Noodle Soup Contain? (Is it REALLY Bad for Your Cat?)

Asking any senior vet about whether your cat can eat chicken noodle soup will start a long lecture. In short, veterinary doctors hate chicken noodle soup.

They’ll always suggest you to not fall for it even if your carnivore friend begs you for hours. They advise it like this because usually, cats love these kinds of things.

But why do vet hate it so much? Let’s find this out through this table that shows what chicken noodle soup contains:

[su_table]

Ingredients	Nutrients
Noodles	Carbs Fiber Protein
Garlic	Disulfides and Thiosulphates
Onion	Disulfides and Thiosulphates
Chicken	Protein
Oil
Salt	Sodium
Additional Spices

[/su_table]

From the table, it can be seen that chicken noodle soup isn’t really the right thing to add in the diet of your friend even though if we just out attention on two main ingredients.

Yes, it’s true that protein is good for cats and should be included in your cat’s diet. But noodles aren’t right for them because cats don’t really need carbs and fiber.

So, if you feed them noodles, they might cause a disturbance in their body and hence, your pet might have to face obesity.

Risks of Feeding Chicken Noodle Soup to Your Cat

At this point, we have just talked about two main ingredients and you can already see that chicken noodle soup shouldn’t be fed to your cat. Right?

But the real deal is still hidden in other ingredients like onion. So, let’s uncover their truth:

1.      Onion

Onion belongs to the Allium Genus family of plants and contains chemicals like Disulfides and Thiosulphates. According to a reputable organization of the US (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), anything that belongs to Allium family is extremely toxic to cats and dogs.

Even cats can get into trouble by just consuming onion equal to 0.5% percent of its body weight. The main issue onion can cause is known as ‘onion poisoning’ which further leads to several health issues that are:

• Dehydration
• Diarrhea
• Belly pain
• Vomiting
• Depression
• Appetite loss

In worst case, your pet can also suffer from hemolytic anemia, Heinz body anemia, and methemoglobinemia. All three of them are simply knowns as damage of red blood cells.

2.      Garlic

Garlic also belongs to Allium Genus family which means that the side effects of eating garlic will be quite similar to that of onion. Even some experts suggest that eating garlic is 5 to 7 times more dangerous than eating onion for cats.

Health risks involved in the case of garlic are quite similar to the onion ones, but with garlic, their intensity is way here. It means that the risk of damage of red blood cells is higher. Moreover, due to garlic, low blood pressure can also happen to felines just like humans.

3.      Salt

Consumption of salt is another threat for cats because of presence of sodium. It’s not as severe as onion and garlic but you also have to restrict it.

Usually, chicken noodle soup has extra amount of salt and the sodium in salt causes dehydration. The level of dehydration due to sodium is higher than you think because cats hates drinking water.

4.      Other Spices

Unlike other ingredients, spices like pepper, chili, and cumin aren’t that difficult to digest and accept for feline’s body. We would still say that there might be a risk of diarrhea and vomiting as we don’t know how strong the kitten’s stomach is. If it’s weaker than an ordinary cat, spicy food is also a ‘No’ for it.

Your Cat ate Chicken Noodle Soup. What Should You Do Now?

First thing you have to do is have a look at the ingredients. If it has too much amount of salt (more than 0.3% of whole weight), just make sure to keep your friend hydrated.

In case of spicy or oily noodles, the state of your cat must not be as bad. Even if any ingredient cause diarrhea or vomiting, it’s still not that of a big issue.

But if there were onion and garlic in that soup, you better assess the state of your feline’s body. As soon as you see any changes in its routine or diet, take it to vet because there is a risk of severe health issues.

The Only Right Way to Feed Chicken Noodle Soup to Your Cat

Just in case, you still want to feed chicken noodle soup to your cat for any particular reason, you have to consider these things before:

• There has to be no onion or garlic in the ingredient list of chicken noodle soup. You already know what they both can do to your pale.
• Salt is another thing that shouldn’t be there. But there has to be salt in every chicken noodle soup for flavoring and preservation, so ensure it isn’t too much. For this issue, a trick to remember is, “The more the broth, the more there will be salt.”
• Extra spicy noodle soup should also be avoided.
• You also have to make sure there is no such chemical (maybe in the form of preservative) that’s allergy to cats or just your kitty.

Note: If any of these conditions aren’t fulfilled, don’t feed chicken noodle soup to your best friend.

Do these considerations also apply to things like canned chicken? Click here to learn!

FAQs

Are spices the real issue in chicken noodle soup for cats?

Not really!

If you are counting onion and garlic in spices then yes. Otherwise, an ordinary cat can ingest herbs and spices like pepper if the cat has a relatively stronger stomach than weaker cat.

Can your sick cat eat chicken noodle soup?

Yes and No!

You have already seen that some ingredients of chicken noodle soup like onion or onion powder can be really bad for feline’s health. However, chicken noodle soup is quite rich in protein, nutrients, and obviously calories. So, if your cat is sick and losing wait due to that, chicken noodle soup can be effective only if given the right way. (Read previous heading if you haven’t already)

Wrapping Things Up

In the end, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that feeding chicken noodle soup to your kitty is not worth the risk. Health threats involved in doing that are way more than joy of mere five minutes. But if you still want to make your feline happy, we have talked about every possibility.

So your meat-lover friend joins you during tea or snack time and asks you to share biscuits with it. In that case, you have to be curious with a question: “Can I feed biscuits to my cat?”

Biscuits or cookies won’t be the most toxic thing you’ll ever feed to your cat. But that does never mean that it’s a healthy treat for the feline.

Let’s go through each corner of this topic and find the truth about relation between cats and biscuits:

Can Cats Eat Biscuits?

[su_note note_color=”#72E8E1″ text_color=”#000000″ radius=”18″]Cats can eat biscuits, but it’s not ideal for their health. Ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and salt can cause issues like diarrhea, obesity, and dehydration. One biscuit per week is fine, but avoid sugary or chocolate biscuits, which are harmful. Digestive biscuits are a safer alternative.[/su_note]

Do Biscuits Contain Anything that is Bad for Your Cat?

Yes, it’s true that feeding biscuits to your cat won’t kill it. But whenever you ask an expert or vet, he’ll strictly forbid you to do that. It’s because most famous (human) biscuits contain things that are bad for your carnivore friend.

Hence, to understand the whole thing, we first need to comprehend what exactly biscuits contain:

1.      Flour  

The main ingredient of any biscuit in the world is flour. Some brands use all-purpose flour in their biscuits or cookies but bread flour is more commonly used.

In either case, flour isn’t an ideal thing to feed to your feline. It’s because flour contains carbs that aren’t needed to be in the diet of the cute carnivore.

2.      Sugar

After flour, sugar is the biggest component of biscuits in terms of content. Sugar should be a compulsory part of a feline’s diet for the same reason why doctors stop humans from consuming sugar.

Cats can’t taste sugar. This truth might seem a lie because cats sometimes get excited after eating sugar. Anyways, you should never feed them sugar because excessive amounts of it can make your cat/s fat.

And if obesity persists for a considerable amount of time, your cat might start facing severe issues like diabetes and pancreatitis.

3.      Butter

Although the amount of butter is extremely slight, even a small amount of butter can become a concern for cats. It’s because butter or any type of oil is considered harmful to cats. In most cases, feline’s stomachs are unable to ingest butter and end up with diarrhea and even vomiting.

4.      Milk

From cartoons (like Tom and Jerry) and movies, we all have a perception that cats love milk and they can drink milk all day long. Well, a few species of cats like milk but most kinds of felines are lactose intolerant.

Actually, a kitty’s stomach isn’t as strong as a human’s stomach to ingest a heavy liquid like milk. There has to be at least a little amount of milk in biscuits batter or dough.

5.      Salt

Salty biscuits are a big NO for your friend!

Nevertheless, even in case of sugary biscuits, a slight amount of salt is used. So, you should be aware of what salt is capable of doing to your cat.

Actually, salt makes anyone (not just cats) thirsty but the case with cats is that they don’t like drinking water. That’s why there should not be any amount of salt in feline’s diet because dehydration can even cause kidney issues in cats (in severe cases). Canned chicken is another food item that contains loads of salt.

All in all, almost every main ingredient of biscuits isn’t ideal for cats. Hence, you should not feed them as a part of your daily meal. For a better understanding, have a look at the table below:

[su_table]

Ingredients	Eatability
Flour	Should not be a part of the complete diet
Sugar	Should not be fed in large amounts
Salt	Can be fed only occasionally
Butter	Butter or any oil can cause diarrhea in cats
Eggs	Eatable
Milk	Not ideal
Nuts	Unsafe
Vanilla Extracts	Safe
Chocolate	Not just bad, but also toxic in some cases
Baking Soda	Okay if fed only a pinch of it

Heath Concerns about Biscuits for Your Cat

You already are aware of what biscuits contain and what ingredients of biscuits can do to your pet. But now, it’s time to dig a little deeper to unveil the health concerns biscuits might arise in your cat:

Diarrhea

Biscuit is usually taken as a heavy snacks as they contain things that aren’t light but are difficult to digest like eggs, butter, and milk. That’s why biscuits are forbidden for a person who’s suffering from diarrhea or stomach issues.

To add more to it, cat’s stomach is extremely weak when compared with human’s stomach and it can’t ingest anything heavy. Hence, there’s a huge possibility that even if you feed biscuits as a snack (but regularly), your cat will get diarrhea soon.

Obesity

If you keep feeding biscuits to your pet for a significant amount of time, it might get fat. Obesity itself is a great attracter of severe diseases including heart diseases. Things like sugar and creamy milk make things worse in this case.

Dehydration

Extensive amounts of sodium (for cats) in biscuits (especially butter cookies) can be a threat to your cat. Salt has sodium that increases the thirst of felines and they don’t drink water lovingly. Therefore, you either have to make your friend drink water more often than ever before or stop your cat right now.

What Amount of Biscuits is Good for My Cat?

You already know that frequently feeding biscuits to your cats is bad for several reasons. But being a feline parent, you might already know the fact that cats are astonishing when it comes to manipulating humans.

Your cat will convince you to buy another biscuit before you realize that you have done the wrong thing. That’s why it’s important to understand the scenario from another angle.

We need to see things calorie-wise. A grown kitty’s diet should contain anything near 300 calories per day. And only one biscuit (14g) contains almost 40 calories. It might seem alright but you are forgetting that biscuit has nothing to do with the diet of a cat.

While not going into technicalities, in simple words, one biscuit per week is enough. But if your cat is stubborn and loves biscuits try safer alternatives or bring it to two or three biscuits per week.

FAQs

Can I feed biscuits to my cat that is dipped in tea/coffee/milk?

Not recommended!

Biscuit in the first place is not a recommended thing but if it’s not frequent, tea and coffee are still worse than biscuits. Moreover, milk makes things more difficult for kitty’s stomach to digest. However, if it’s a herbal, it should be fine.

Can cats eat digestive biscuits?

They are better than ordinary biscuits!

Digestive biscuits are even taken as a healthier option even for humans. Right? In case of felines, digestive cookies are better due to absence of high-carb flour, sugar (most probably), and heavy milk.

Can cats eat chocolate biscuits?

A big NO!

Chocolate biscuits are far more dangerous for cats than ordinary biscuits. It’s because chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine (a toxic element) and they both are fatal for cats if fed in large amounts.

Can cats eat sugary biscuits?

NO!

If your cat loves biscuits and you can’t help it, avoid sugary biscuits. You already know that cats can’t taste sugar so why not go for a safer option like digestive biscuits?

Can you feed cookies to your cat?

The case of cookies is exactly the same as biscuits. Nonetheless, you must never even think about feeding chocolate cookies to your cat.

Final Words

Letting your cat have biscuits every now and then won’t be a bad decision to make. Just ensure to not add biscuits to its daily diet. Now, you know whether biscuits is just like a guilty pleasure or a poison. If you still have any queries, please let us know as we love helping you.

If your cat’s nose stays white or is accompanied by other symptoms like lethargy or loss of appetite, it’s best to consult a vet to rule out any underlying health issues.[/su_note]

The Truth about Feeding Canned Chicken to Cats

We already have told you that canned chicken isn’t something you should be feeding your cat on a daily basis. But we all have that one person in our life who feeds weird human food to his cat. Sometimes, it’s because the cat wants it but in either case, it’s way worse than canned chicken.

We would never say that canned chicken is the worst thing you can ever feed to your cat because it has (both) pros and cons. So, let’s learn everything about the canned chicken before deciding anything because we also don’t want your cat to get sick:

What does Canned Chicken Contain?

Usually, when we mention canned food in general, health concerns always come into play due to several reasons like the use of chemicals for preservation.

Health Benefits of Canned Chicken for Cats

People don’t usually want to have a look at this side of feeding canned chicken to your cat. Hence, to make you aware of both (wrong and right) sides of canned chicken for cats, we decided to start with the health benefits of canned chicken for your cat:

Protein

The main and primary component of any kind of chicken is protein. Protein is another name for muscle development in felines as carnivores. In other words, cats can’t live without protein because it is the most essential nutrient for a cat’s body. Yes, canned food isn’t the best source of protein for felines but still, it has enough amount of protein to make the tummy of your pet full.

Healthy Fats

Healthy and unsaturated fats like omega-3 fatty acids are the second most important part of the diet of felines (after protein). These kinds of fatty acids help kittens perform various tasks every day.

Essential Vitamins and Minerals

Canned food doesn’t usually have a high volume of potential vitamins and minerals. However, some micronutrients that a feline requires for growth are present in canned chicken. Vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin D are on top of the list of nutrients that are abundant in canned chicken.

The benefits of these micronutrients are:

• Vitamin A for eyesight especially that super power (night vision).
• Vitamin B and vitamin C help sustain a perfect immune system.
• Vitamin D for the growth and maintenance of the strong teeth and bones of your friend.

Other than these vitamins, canned chicken also offers other vital nutrients in the form of magnesium, calcium, and zinc.

Why Feeding Canned Chicken to Your Cat Might Be a Wrong Decision?

Now, it’s time to move toward the dark side of feeding canned chicken to your cat. Talking about reasons why people around you might be stopping you from doing it is important for you to make any decision.

High Amount of Sodium

Not just canned chicken but also (almost) every canned food has an extra amount of salt to preserve food for a long time. That extra amount of salt isn’t that harmful for humans but cats might get in trouble with that.

We already know that ordinary salt (or table salt) includes sodium. Right? Sodium isn’t the right thing to feed to your friend.

Have you ever noticed that whenever you eat food with an excessive amount of salt, your tongue gets dry and you become more thirsty than usual? This thing in cats is quite similar to humans and sodium is the culprit.

In humans, it’s not a big deal because we take it normally and drink another glass of water. But cats don’t really like drinking water. Hence, if you feed them food with high amounts of sodium, dehydration can occur and it might attract other severe issues like kidney problems and diarrhea as well.

Exceedingly Processed Food

In today’s world, a huge portion of human food consists of processed food. Whether it is milk or bread, everything has gone through some sort of processing for good and bad reasons. But canned food (especially chicken) is processed a little more than usual food items.

Our stomachs are strong enough and are built in such a way that they can digest even overly processed food, but our cute little friend’s bellies aren’t made that way. They can easily get sick by eating overly processed food.

Presence of Saturated Fat

In the presence of beneficial fatty acids, you can’t deny the fact that canned chicken also has saturated fat which is harmful to your pet.

The bad effects of saturated aka unhealthy fats for your feline are:

• Increase in cholesterol level (it can lead to heart diseases).
• Stress on joints (it’s unwanted if you have an elderly cat).

Does Canned Chicken Cause Obesity in Cats?

One of the biggest debates these days among cat owners is ‘Does canned food (specifically chicken cause obesity in cats?’

Although, this question doesn’t have a straightforward answer, if you still want a one-liner, ‘Yes’ is what you’ll get. The main reason for obesity in cats is high-fat or high-calorie food but still, canned chicken can be seen as a culprit only because of saturated fats that are present in it. Canned chicken isn’t that of a big deal when obesity is the topic. It means that canned chicken will only be a bad choice if you feed it the wrong way (daily).

Feeding Canned Chicken to Your Cat (The Only Right Way!)

Here are some guidelines for feeding canned chicken to your cat:

1. Always try to buy low-sodium chicken

You already know what capabilities sodium possesses and why it is harmful to your little feline. Right? So, try your best to find low-sodium canned chicken so that your cat can enjoy canned chicken more.

2. cook it the right way (if it isn’t already)

Mostly, canned chicken is cooked but if it isn’t, you are allowed to cook it. But never use garlic or onion while cooking it as they both are harmful for cats.

3. Don’t feed it every day

Due to several reasons like presence of sodium and risk of obesity, feeding canned chicken daily to your cat is always discouraged.

4. Visit the vet if there’s something wrong

If you face any problem with your cat’s health even after taking care of all guidelines, you must visit the vet immediately because some canned chicken companies secretly put a harmful ingredient and never write it in the ingredients section.

Note: These guidelines are compulsory to follow. Keep an eye on them at any cost, otherwise, you might face problems in the future.
