- Cat’s digestive systems are extremely sensitive and evolved for a very specific diet. From foods that are absolute no-no’s to some that will cause stomach upset, in this video I lay it all out on the table!

Alcohol is toxic to every animal on the planet 😆 (yes, that includes humans too)
Humans have just found that the Intoxication is fun to experience in moderation.
alcohol is party poison and i live by that
so are all spices and foods like radish n garlic n onion that's what causes the burning sensation :D
Imagine drinking diluted ethanol and thinking you're healthy
Oh. So foods that make you have loose poops are bad for you. Makes sense.
every time i tell my mom the cat can’t have a certain food she always pulls up the “but the cats where i lived ate anything” maybe bc those cats are strays and hungry so they eat anything to survive😐
ME TOOOOOO
I feel youuu my parents don’t know jack about cats
Same but instead of my mom it’s my sister I told her if you got a baby you don’t feed it left overs you feed it baby food so it’s the same with cats they eat cat food 👁👄👁

I think this is everything, hope this helped!
Thank you!
I need a how to cats vs house plants
Yes! I second this.
Yes please!
@@Momma_AL The ASPCA lists plants and foods that are toxic to animals. It's how I learned it's OK to indulge my Tommy's desire for roasted bell peppers. He thinks if I eat anything then he should get a share of it.
two of my cats have asthma and our vet told us not to have any!
I can't have houseplants anymore because my cats used to eat them.
I grow grass for them to chomp on now.
Please do common houseplants that are dangerous to cats.
yeah I have potted English ivy and I heard it can be toxic to cats, and I also have like 5 other types of plants so I'd really want to know before I go and adopt. I've been wanting another cat for 8 years, since I had to leave my last one with my ex, but I've gotten many plants since. I'm ready to throw away my plants and buy new ones if necessary.
@Marc-André Demers: Hopefully you won’t have to throw out those poor plants (unless they’re infested, then, by all means give them a little funeral, maybe play a dirge and call it a day.) Their green leafy lives matter too! 🌱 (No doubt I’ll get some backlash for that one 😬). Maybe they can be re-homed. Nevertheless, it’s a good thing you’re looking into this now before it’s too late. Best of luck for when you find your new furry feline friend. 😻
@@suzannebowers8634 yeah I hate killing plants lol but most people I know already have many. And I've got a couple spider mites that are in control here but could totally infest and devour the rest of the plants of the person I'd give them to. Giving and buying plants when you already have some is extremely risky if you don't have the space to quarantine the new ones and the knowledge to ensure they're not carrying something that could exterminate the others.
I've seen it happen way too many times.
Talking about plants, my cat loves tobacco, I hope it's not dangerous.
Just about any lily is not good, Day Lilies are fine for dogs but not cat and Foxgloves kill either, maybe even horses. Hostas are pretty common shade plants but I have mine where no cats ever goes and I have some strange cat wondering through every night, on the security video, and they never go there.
I switched my cat to an all raw meat diet and her digestive issues have pretty much disappeared. She had such horrid flatulence and extremely stinking feces. Now I smell nothing fowl in her box and her indigestion has stopped. She loves it and she looks and acts like a kitten again. Her fur is so soft and vibrant. I love how much better the house smells too. Lol
i know it’s just a computer spelling thing, but when you said your house no longer smells fowl, i almost lost it, it was so funny. you mean you also had chickens and turkeys running around your house? whew, glad you put them outside. now you and your kitty can live in peace. LOL
so glad your cat is so much better :) 🐈🐾🐈⬛🌷🌱
@@feralbluee What? I fail to see the humor. Unless your very young. And I'm not saying that as an insult. That is the only thing that makes sense.
@@wintermoon7003fowl also equals bird meat (:
OMG I'm so grateful to you Jackson, for making this video. I am going to adopt a abandoned kitten today and I was already thinking of feeding it milk, but luckily I watched this video before i did that :)
Yeah alot of people think that cow's milk is good for cats yet it can give them a pretty upset stomach
There is cat sip I believe it's called my aunt used to give it to her cats they sold at the grocery store etc but they look like juice boxes almost at least that's what they used to look like but anyways if you look I'm sure you'll find it.. I think she basically just gave it to them as like a treat
There is special cat milk sold in pet food department
Reminds me of those himalayan salt lamps that were really popular... and then one lady posted on facebook that her cat kept licking the lamp and warned everyone not to get those lamps because her cat almost didn't make it out. Would you perhaps do a video on random objects that aren't good around cats? For example, essential oils or certain cleaning agents?
Lavender kills cats. I used to use a lot of lavender until it killed my last cat. Before I got my Misser Kiddy, I got rid of all of it. It works wonderfully on humans for relaxing, but I am not chancing it.
@@danillerobertson9790 I'm so sorry to hear that !! :( Hope you are doing ok
@Rayna Bananas, thank you. It was a few years ago so I’m better. I just wish that it was something I knew before hand.
Everything I have around Misser Kiddy, I google it first. I am super cautious about oils and food. Tomatos were left off the list and I hear that is super bad for cats as well.
I have one of those salt lamps (I don’t have a cat yet but I’m going to adopt soon) and I’m selling the lamp.
The other things I have heard are bad for cats and I think also dogs is incense and candles. Even if they stay away from the burning candle, what the candle releases into the air is bad for them to breathe in.
Glad I didn’t get one . .I was going to buy one to absorb cat odor but got these carbon purifying bags instead and they work great.
Lillies are EXTREMELY deadly to cats. It almost kills instantly. Most vets who have seen Lilly poisoning have never seen a cat live from it. So I would keep lillies out of my place (I personally think they are ugly anyway).
Thank you
Mikaila Bell Well yes, but this video was about _foods_ that are toxic (meaning human foods), not about toxic houseplants. You don’t eat your lilies, do you? Right? :p
@@tookitogo I think the buds of some lilies can be safely cooked and eaten... by humans, though. Not by kitties.
It takes about 12 hours for the effects of lily poisoning to kick in. If they get treated before then, they have a high chance of survival. My cat experienced lily poisoning a few months ago; I got him to the vet about two hours after the poisoning and he was completely fine. But you definitely don’t want to have lilies around if you have a cat. I learned the hard way!
150mcl150 how did u know ur cat was poisioned?
Since its Eid, im going to adopt myself a cat 🐱 and i’m very very excited!! But im also scared and worried that I might do something wrong so I want to know everything I should so I be the best owner I could possibly be for my wonderful cat 💕💕💖💖✨✨🐱🐱🐱
My tomcat could eat anything: cake,French fries, bread, ice cream... It used to make me laugh, but I am going to be more careful from now on. Thanks for the reminder Jackson.
As well as with people, sometimes strange cravings are because the animal is not getting what it needs in it’s regular diet.
The good thing is that you’re informed and now don’t let your cat eat that.
@@allaboutmycats454 Actually humans and cats will desire french fries, ice cream, cake and bread no matter if they are "getting what they need" in their diet.
So cat in the hat had it right then when he said no I'm lactose intolerant when he was offered milk. 💀💀💀💀
yep
there is a milk commercial on now that espouses "even kitties love it!!" and showing a cat begging at the fridge door ... it drives me crazy that they (the Milk Board) would advertise something that is dangerous to cats just to promote milk =/
I used to buy kitten milk when my cats were younger.
They make specialized milk for kittens to bottle feed, but also “treats” for adult cats that don’t have lactose.
I bought some of that Whiskas cat milk, thinking "Maybe my cat will like it, as a treat". She hated it. My old cat used to love chocolate milk, but he would only get a tablespoon of it when I was having some. This was back in the very early 00s so everyone were uneducated about cats.
My current cat LOVES pancakes (the european kind). It's her favourite food and she won't leave me alone when I'm eating it (which is very rare, thankfully). She'll paw at my mouth and things like that. I do give her a tiny bit but not much. I just pinch off a little bit. I have no idea why she loves pancakes so much.
Please contact them!! They need to know it is harmful!
Laura Montgomery i don't give it anymore to my cats, they got realy yellow teeth, now since a year their teeth are getting better.
Jackson - I live and die by your advice! I was raised in a family with cats and have just homed 3 old rescue cats, aged 8, 10 and 16 years.
They gravitate towards wet rather than dry food and they love raw minced beef but I put out some tinned tuna and woke up to piles of vomit. I won’t give them that again. Thank you so much for all your helpful posts.
Me and my husband just got a stray cat,so these videos are very helpful.
The cat pianist is really talented carry the whole band
Hahaha!
His parents must have been in the Aristocats
😹😹😹
Good thing, because daddy can't sing!
:D
my cat be angry at me for trying to SAVE HIS LIFE
cats are like children in that respect
@Marc-André Demers heard people calling cats their “fur babies”, but never thought about it like that before, it is honestly so true tho!
Don't take it personally! probably in pain. Love him always!
The dislikes are from the cats who don’t ger their daily milk bowl anymore from owner.
Many thanks Jackson! Must reduce Tuna!
Speaking of garlic, KEEP LILY FLOWERS AWAY FROM CATS!!! Ingesting just a teeny amount of pollen can kill them
(lilies and garlic are in the same fam)
they are not in the same family, not even close. Still toxic, but that's not the reason why.
Also Mistletoe, the red berries are very toxic!
I had to pull dozens of pretty yellow day lilies from the back yard that the previous own left. I put a few out front where the cat never go. Cats always have a specific path they take through the front yard.
I have asian lilley's growing outside and garlic, my cat does not go near them. Pretty sure if they haven't been in a house their whole life they know what's good or not, plus u don't see cats eat plants unless their stomach is upset or they desperately need something in their diet. On the other hand, I did have to bury a dead bat 🦇 she had on the porch this morning. it's usually bird feathers (cause she eats the birds.. taste like chicken) or mice or a chipmunk. She will trade them for temptations treats. I am 99% sure they're kitty crack.
Jackson has a video specific to toxic plants to avoid.
I just adopted a little cute kitten this day, and this video is really helpful. Thank you for educating us.
Congrats on your new buddy! Hope you have many happy years together. 😄
There are so many great videos by Jackson Galaxy. I have owned cats most of my life but I am still learning and Jackson's videos have taught me so much!
Me too!! She was suppose to be a foster kitty but I fell in love with her so she is mine!!! I've been watching Jackson too because it's been years since I've had a cat and there's always something to learn. But congratulations on your new kitty 😺
@@bigjedimullet thank you very much
That is so cute, hope it goes well and that you have many good times, and yes, take time to learn if u have any questions ❤🐱
My mom just got a kitten last year and she has given me full responsibility for her and my mom is planning on giving me the kitten when I move out
Good to know for Bread products. We have a rescued stray that is down right obsessed with bread. Since day one, does everything he can to get to any bread product he can. We'll be sure to keep our bread products safer
Probably because he was accustomed eating it ..
@@tamiajackson yea hard to say. Found him hiding under my wife's truck from some local kids trying to put him in a box with a string attached... poor thing was dirty malnourished, and looked to have lost a nasty fight with another cat. Took him inside, quarantined him from my other cats, and found him to be exhausted but super sweet. 2yrs later, and he is my best friend attached to my hip, but really likes bread
My beautiful boy: Mother please spare me some of your food I am ever so curious and would love to try some
Me, staring at a chicken thigh covered in 11 herbs and spices that's probably wreaking havoc to my own digestive and circulatory system: No sweetie eat your own food
Let me guess, you were eating KFC
i wash my chicken off so my cat can have some anyway lol
Give my dog kfc so far fine
@@vanitamvelayudhan5638 👁👄👁 please dont do that
@@Gamergirl-172 I dig to the center of my tyson buffalo wing bites for clean plain meat just to share some with my cat. so i feel ya
47 dislikes are the cats now not getting their daily milk bowl anymore...
Cats: Darn them humans they found out >:T
Nope. the dislike is due to this mans' cultural ignorance. He should go to Cuba. Cats over there eat all of this and other things , yet still live pass 16 and 18 years of age without any problems. This is a diet problem for spoiled shitty Americanized cats.
Juci Shockwave Dude. Just chill, ok? Like please calm down. Maybe get off the internet, breathe and come back :) There are so many calmer ways you could have said that. 👍 Maybe instead of attacking people and cats, show us some statistics? That would be very helpful!
Juci Shockwave yo wtf?? Are you okay??? Like can you be kinder about it instead of insulting American cats like they can control that?? Why are you so hostile about it? Do you think the general public wanted that????
You should have explained in a better way. I don’t know what personal resentment you have against different lifestyles, but if there was a serious issue you should have said it without calling someone’s lifestyle “spoiled”.
Imagine directing that energy towards a kid instead of a cat. “Kids in other countries can eat anything, it’s a diet problem for spoiled shitty Americanized children”. That’s a horrible thing to say. It’s their environment, not them. Calm tf down.
Sky The Angel :3 Thank you :I
7:43 the bird in the middle takes a shit and the poor little dude underneath him almost got it in the head, he noticed it tho and shook he's feathers. I died.
Omg the cantaloupe comment at the end! I used to house sit for a fat grey cat named Ruby, and she was allowed a few spoonfuls of cantaloupe a day. She loved. I always thought the sugars in the fruit contributed to her overweight....
This is just the right place to drop this information . A lady was using a joint pain cream , " Voltaren - Gei 10 % ' . It contains Dicdofenac and Flurbiproten . She had about 6 cats that often sat on her lap . They got some of this cream on their fur while playing , and later licked it off , Al but one cat died , A Vet confirmed it was this cream .
Purrfect place for that warning!!! I use that for my hand pain. My cats are attracted to it & try to lick my hands afterwards. I was worried it would be harmful so I luckily haven't let them. After 10 minutes from applying it, you can wear gloves, so I do. Then it can be washed off after 1 hour. I'll let others know about this from now on. Had never heard of this medicine until it was prescribed to me. Now I'm finding lots of people who use it when I apply it in public. It's truly a miracle drug for arthritic hands!!! Nothing else has ever given me relief, not even the morphine when I was hospitalized after major surgery, my hands still ached. Thank you soo much for sharing this information!!! 😻 I always read the information sheets included from the manufacturers. This does not have any warnings of it's toxicity to pets. Guess none actually do that, but I think it would be wonderful if they did. Glad I followed my instincts!
Thank you for sharing your information with us
Thank you so very much for telling me! I use that cream, so I will be extra careful from now on!
Ohmygod O_O Thank you so much for this warning. I use this stuff for my joints.
I don't know where the "cat drinks milk" stereotype came from, but it's so annoying. My parents insisted on giving my kittens milk, no matter how much I told them that cat's can't drink it, yet they were like "but cats drink milk, everyone knows that"! I had to look it up on google and show it to them before they were convinced xD
Anyway, great video, your channel has been really useful to me. Also, I had no idea tuna had mercury! Though I did know that cats had to eat a different kind of tuna than humans.
Thing is they love it, it's hard to not to give them the milk when you see them drinking it so happily
In my case, Tom & Jerry series is the one to blame. There are countless scene promoting that and it made me believe that milk is actually good for cat
Muhammad Zazuli Rizki that's understandable. As much as I can criticize others, to be honest I also used to believe that milk was good for cats. And yeah, it was mostly because of Tom & Jerry in my case too, along with other animated shows and movies.
@@muhammadzazulirizki1000 Several ancestors were farmers; and my grandpa was a dairy foreman. Old time farm & barn cats were not at all lactose intolerant. Nor was the stray my grandma adopted.
Some cats can drink cow's milk and some cats can't. Almost all the cats I've had were just fine with milk.
As a kid, I had a cat that would all but arm wrestle you for Jello and would drink a coke right out of a glass. Little booger lived for 23 years. He was the only one that we ever let it happen to but always makes us laugh in conversation.
When sharing food, I usually just give a chunk of unseasoned meat from what I've cooked: chicken, salmon, etc. Some of my cats go crazy for milk, ice cream, and simple cheeses like provolone, but that's very sparingly.
This is great! I'd love to see a video on toxic plants, both indoor and outdoor (since I walk my boy on a leash). I recently had a friend almost lose her cat because it ingested just a little pollen from a specific kind of lily and that was how I found out that lilies are insanely toxic to cats. Then there are a lot of other common plants that appear to be toxic but only if the cat actually eats the leaves (so probably fine as long as you don't keep them indoors)... anyway, I would really love to see something more in-depth on this so that I know what I should be doing when I take my guy for walks.
Yes I nearly lost my kitty Oscar because of an Easter lily he munched on.
@@thecatlady2710 I'm so glad you didn't lose him! It was scary for me to realize I didn't know more about toxic plants + cats, I definitely think it would be a useful topic.
Yes I would like to see a video on toxic plants too
My foster cat would eat a little bit of tiger lily leaf and a friend who is an outdoors nature boy will eat the flowers. This year the cat lost interest in the tiger lilies but still chews and eats long grass.
@@paintnamer6403 wow, that's incredibly dangerous. 😨
Jackson: "A ball of meat? Ew!"
Meatballs all around the world : 🥺
~~~LOL~~~
Thank you Galaxy my cat loves it when I have steak I will always cut them into bite size chunks and he just goes crazy I avoid the fatty areas and not in an excessive amount.
My wife used to think I could harm him but I told her that he is “technically” still a wild animal.
I love your show My cat from hell and this channel as well. You’re awesome.
Thanks Jackson.. my brother bought vitamin pills for my cats, which the main ingredients are yeast, garlic, thiamine and etc.. yup that'll go in the trash bin right now..
We learned about the grapes being toxic when we almost lost our cat Gizimo after she ate about a dozen from our son snack plate while no one was looking. She is still around but has had liver issues ever since. And has recently gone blind. She is still very active and loving.
Awe poor baby I wish all the best for Gizimo
how is Gizimo now if you don't mind me asking?
@@flaminflamango5900 still up and going.
Awe 💔
Oh what a shame!
We need a video on what Jackson recommends for a homemade raw diet.
dumpstermeow Yes, we do!
I am also curious as to what raw meat is ok. I worry because raw chicken is so dangerous to humans and Jackson said raw fish is dangerous because of the amount of mercury. My cat hates anything beef so what raw meat is ok??
AGREED!!!
@@mandiwhite4190 There is a company that sells raw meat for raw home diets. If you do a google search you should be able to find it, but they use cage free chickens from local farms, rabbits, duck, pheasant, ect. The only meat I would not give a cat is pork. if under cooked you can risk the chance of them getting a parasite, but there has been no reported cases of the parasite in many many years. So just do research and go with what you think is best based on the information you can find. Don't listen to vegan "experts" when it comes to feeding pets.
I would remind people who have houseplants and/or flowers around to know what they are as cats can get poisoned if they eat the wrong plant, especially poinsettia. Cat grass and rosemary are a couple good plants to have that won't cause an emergency trip to the vet.
Goats milk is a universally safe food and can support all life without issues. It is actually better than many milk replacements, and is cheap especially if you find a goat farm for supply.
Most of my cats have been strays and they had absolutely no interest in chocolate, caffeine, vegetables or fruit. Fruit and vegetables were only of interest to them when they were round and could be played with. I did have one cat who lived in a bar and followed my roommate home only to devour her FULL glass of Chablis when she left it unattended. I wound up adopting my little bar-fly and kept him on the wagon for the 15 years that he lived.
Well done!
I have never met a cat stupid enough to try coffee or alcohol. The problem with dogs is the WILL eat chocolate or drink beer unlike a cat.
@@toriless The bar cat I adopted was only given wine and snack foods so he became used to drinking wine, poor fellow. It's why he escaped and followed my roommate home. He wasn't "stupid" by any means and was the best mouser I ever had. He also loved people and was a very affectionate kitty. He became one of my all-time favorite moggies and I will never forget him.
Feral cats like Leo...the first year he lived with me...wouldn't touch human food. The he really changed in a big way...like GIMME that chicken breast and the mashed potatoes too....and while you're up I wouldn't mind some yogurt
..lol
My kitten has recently become an avocado thief!!! He gets super excited over it. Good to know he can have a little bit!
Our male cat (17yrs old) has loved watermelon since he was a kitten, but we limit the amount. The 2 females could care less. Love them all. Thank You for all you do to help the feline cause. If you visit San Diego please go to the Gaines St shelter (SD City & SD Humane Society) and ask to see the kitten facility across the street.
Thank you, I'm learning this too late. I gave my feral cat some leftover casserole that had onion and garlic in it and it killed him. :(
And then I made it even worse, because I gave him milk afterwards thinking that would take away the poison.
Heart-breaking, now I will share this information with every cat owner that I know.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
@@astolat2262 Thank you, I appreciate that. Sure am missing my Lil Lucky.
Omg I’m so sorry …..
@@nc7072 thank you. Broke my heart.
I’d be so gutted, I hope you’ve gotten better since, and I wish you the best for the future, it’s not anybody’s fault, it’s just down to some unknown knowledge.
My final message is to just be fortunate that (s)he lived a good life, not that (s)he died, we all lose loved ones, but as the old saying goes: Keep calm and carry on
Wow, I didn't know Jackson is vegan! I'm glad he is like me, supportive of a cat's diet regardless of our life style.
I’m vegetarian and some of my cats food/treats gross me out (freeze dried salmon, ew) but you should never keep your cat from eating meat!
@@cai0409
Exactly! I don't eat anything from an animal because I don't have to, but I don't hate others if they absolutely need to.
Same here! It honestly makes me angry when other vegans try to make their cats eat vegan too. Makes me want to shake them. They're obligate carnivores!!! Stop it!!! If you want a vegan pet, get a guinea pig! 😂
Agreed! Cats need to eat meat, they will die or get sick from malnutrition if on a vegan diet. I have nothing against vegans, however, I am against vegans who do not feed their pets what they are supposed to eat. A cat's body cannot get all the nutrition they need from plants.
@@toflow1177 But why should you make your cat vegan?? Its not part of their natural diet in the wild.
I would love to hear more about the raw food diet and I would love to hear your opinion on how to help an overweight cat lose weight when all other options have been exhausted. Thanks Cat Daddy!
making it lose weight is easy. buy chicken breast fillets, cut them in pieces that are at about the weight of a small bird and give one piece in the morning and one in the evening raw and have the cat play a lot. no other food, no treats, and ignore any begging. you should add a piece of another type of meat at about the same size every other day for some extra nutrients. cats can survive for a long time with nothing but a single mouse or sparrow a day as food so this amount is more than enough if you get your fat cat to burn the stored fat through exercise.
jpteknoman I agree with most of your comment, however feeding a cat raw meat is not as simple as giving them pieces of chicken breast. The food needs to be complete and balanced. If you think about it, a mouse that a cat would eat has bones and organs. As a general rule, feeding a cat raw meals should include 80% muscle meat, 10% organs and 10% bones. It is not healthy to feed cats non-complete and non-balanced meals.
dorenX when my cat catches a mouse, she eats the head first. Gross to listen to, but hey, I figure that’s intuitive, AND. keeps the mouse from ‘playing dead’ and running away when the cat starts to lose interest!🙀😹🤷🏻♀️
The aspca link he put in the description says not to feed your cat raw meat. Most experts and even the CDC say you shouldnt :(
Hawkorvan shut up stuped. u sound like a five year old kid trying to be cool, wtf? what do cats eat in the wild? fcking man made food? think before you type, raw food is the best for cats.
your videos are very helpful and entertaining! thanks for all of the great content :)
I love your knowledge with the rationales included thank you 🙏🏻
My cat DESPERATELY wants: muffins, ice cream, Chinese food, salmon, pepperoni, and sometimes eggs. I always have to watch out when leaving a plate unattended!
Sarah B my cat is the same! He is crazy for milk and allll dairy products
Yep chinese food, the fried chicken is his absolute target
are eggs not okay? whenever I've had a sick cat who won't eat the quickest way I've found to get them eating again is with scrambled eggs!
@@felixhenson9926 cooked in oil (fat) or butter (fat )
grease/fat is not good
@@felixhenson9926 I find microwave scramble eggs a nice treat from them, it's safe. No fat and I get to share some eggs he loves so much. I just do mine in the pan.
Even a little fat isn't that bad, most cat treats owners feed them have around 20% fat so I don't give them that junk food on the daily. Titbits of lean meat is a far better snack all round.
Cats are the perfect representation of someone who is lactose intolerant. I've never met someone who was lactose intolerant and wasn't prepared to risk it all for some cheesy goodness. Likewise, I've never met a cat who didn't try to steal any dairy products when presented with the opportunity. One even tried to jump on the table to lick the butter once.
I'm lactose intolerant and I resemble that. Though, thankfully, I can eat reasonable amounts of most cheeses without issue. Or ice cream. Never, ever cheese followed by ice cream. And never straight milk.
I'm lactose intolersnt and I've learned to live with dairy free alternatives. I've begun to love the taste of my plant milk in my coffee more than I ever loved cow's milk :) only thing I haven't given up is mozzarrella on my pizza cause there's no worthy alternative yet
Firefly can you eat hard cheese? I could live without milk or cottage cheese... but I can’t imagine my life without pizza quatro formaggio 🙊🙊🙊
My god yes. I have 2 cats and one is, thankfully, super picky and doesn't care about most people food. But the other is like a feline garbage disposal and will eat nearly anything. He goes INSANE for cheese. Any dairy product, really, but especially cheese.
I just buy lactase enzyme drops and put them into milk, then let it activate for 24 hours before drinking the milk. It's pretty cheap on Amazon. You can also make your own yogourt and ice cream (and cheese if you're motivated) from milk and cream you've treated that way.
I wonder if that milk could serve as an occasional treat for cats, or to moisten dry food for a cat who needs it.
7:41 that bird's reaction was priceless.
Thank you Jackson, great info.....you make information fun.🥰
Honestly I'm fearful that I'm feeding my cat & kitten the wrong brand and kinds of cat foods, and that I'm over feeding them..I just want them to be healthy and live a long happy healthy life full of love and play 🐾❤😺
My cat loves mango for some strange reason. He started begging for it when we were eating it & I researched it & it was okay in small quantities. 💕
Our cat Hannibal adored mango but mostly papaya. We lived in Puerto Rico and so had fresh, wild fruit in the yard. We eventually had little papaya starts under the railing where he ate. He was also a prolific hunter!
Thank you for sharing this information to all of us. Really appreciate this. Thank you 😳😊
Agreed 100% ! Always did all your recommendations. Thank you for a very important video.🧡
My cat loves the smell of coffee and he usually tries to steal it from me, I always give him a slice of ham or something to he get him distracted from forbidden nectar of the gods
Make sure the ham isn't salted. Some things like ham and shrimps are usually pre-salted. I do think they can handle small amounts of it though. If not, they might just throw it up :p
I saw a picture of some insta famous cat licking a beer bottle and was so shocked and worried that so many people are going to see that and think it's ok
What people do for social media entertainment 🤦♀️😒
For my cats' late evening dinner, i cook shredded carrots usually, sometimes chopped fresh greens, by simmering in water in a covered cast iron skillet until they're soft. I add some olive oil and mix that with several cans of fish or chicken and several cups of dry food. They like it.
hi - just to let you know, i’ve learned that even premium dry foods have corn and wheat which cats (and dogs) don’t eat in nature. it’s not good for them.
the rest of that diet is terrific. i wonder if cooking in an irin pan imparts a little iron to the to the food? be safe and have a great day! :) 🐈🐾🐈⬛🌷🌱
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
common sense has always made me laugh when i would hear a "vet" say you need to cook poultry, fish, whatever, to human standards.
meanwhile, my cat is on my back porch devouring a dead rat, nose to asshole, and everything in between.
I am more concerned with worms, or even bot flies.
thanks, Jackson.
My cats was smarter the that. He knew to avoid the certain organs.
@@toriless
Yes, I am sure your cat is the Einstein of the cat world.
My cat does not eat the fur, or the digestive tract as well, the comment was made to illustrate a point, not give a history of his eating habits.
Lol when I'm chopping meat, my cats meow so much asking for a bite. Once I cook it they must think I spoiled it as usual it and just leave 😅.
@@irtap404 my grandparents cat always loved when they went rabbit hunting, as it got the organs when the rabbit was cleaned out. Raw and still warm.
My beagle ate raw wild bunnies, raw salmon or trout, raw deer or moose lolll.. we hunted with him but stopped hunting when his health declined. He had a very bad heart murmur and his last year was awful. Bad CHF and was on medications. We lost him last december at 10yr. Best boy ever💕 We adopted our tortie/calico cat in march😸 The only thing she loves to eat aside her food and normal treats are fresh garden peas and not the pod loll she is wierd😆
The point about raw meat is that, yes, cat's can absolutely eat raw meat that's very very fresh, as in a prey that they've just newly killed, but raw meat that's given by a human is a completely different story. Raw meat given by a human has had time to develop all sorts of bacteria, it's not the same as a very fresh kill.
Yeah, raw meat that's been processed by humans is way different from raw meat from a mouse they've just caught. Hell, we could safely eat significantly more raw meat if it was ultra fresh
The reason we cook meat is because it kills parasites, and humans that didn’t get parasites from eating raw meat tended to pass their genes on to more surviving offspring. Our ancestors have been cooking meat since prehistory. It has nothing to do with processing.
Cats never stopped eating raw meat in their evolution. Until very recently, they ate rodents, insects, and birds along with human food scraps. Their guys can handle things we can’t. Domestic meat animals in developed countries rarely have the types of endoparasites and pathogens they used to, and humans still contract food borne illnesses mostly from contaminated produce and mishandled poultry. If anything, I suspect the reason not to give cats raw meat like beef or pork is because those aren’t meats cats evolved to eat. House cats didn’t take down pigs or cattle. They’re too rich and fatty.
Similarly, you shouldn’t feed beef to Venus flytrap. It’s too rich for them, and the traps rot. I had one that ate buffalo wing meat, though.
Evil Sharkey What do you mean “until very recently”? Cats still eat rodents, insects, birds (and other critters, too, like rabbits (which aren’t actually rodents!), reptiles, fish, and amphibians). Cats worldwide, even in western countries, kill billions of songbirds every year. They do this even if they have food at home, since cats have a strong hunting instinct.
@@tookitogo I can testify! I get dead little birds on the porch and little lizards partially eaten. Cats are hunters. Dogs can be, too. If I yell "get the bug!" all the beasts come running. P. S. I do not use pesticides in my home!
It's also farmed in ways that make the possibility of disease a little more likely than in the wild.
Excellent info and advice thank you very much Jackson Galaxy if only all cat owners could inform others! And educate them!
Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you Mr Galaxy
There have been a couple of times when my cat jumped onto our table and licked our soy sauce dispensers and I don’t understand WHY
Salt. Soy sauce has lots of sodium and tastes salty. What animal doesn't like the taste of salt to some degree?
I actually had some chocolate yesterday (Chocolate with nuts) and some broke away and hit the floor. I instantly got down on the floor looking for it as it was a perfect bitesize for my cat. He came rushing over and I found it just as he went to lick it. Saved just in time.
Later in the day I was chopping raw onions but made sure he got none.
It is so easy for this stuff to accidently fall on the floor (especially when chopping onions).
Like all cats my cat always seems to find a used dirty plate to come lick. You've got to watch them like hawks or maybe wash your dish straight away which is annoying when watching a movie.
You can put the dishes in a plastic box/oven/microwave/cupboard until you can wash them.
I had a cat with food allergies, it was even more work to make sure she would never eat even a crumble of anything other than her dry food. She couldn't have any other food, no treats, definitely not lick a plate or pan. Otherwise she would feel so itchy she should scratch and scratch until hair and skin came of, and it takes months for a wound like that to fully recover.
😱
Thank you for the useful information.
Most of this is also true for ferrets: they cannot eat ANY vegetable matter including raisins; there is a treat that is good for them that tastes like raisins but I forgot its name.
We had a cat who loved cantaloupe. She lived to twenty years old.
I also had a cat that loved cantaloupe!! What's up with that? 🤔 I always thought it was just her.
What is that
Cantaloupe is melon. It is a fruit.
@@ChaosAT if you're from Australia like me, we call them Rock Melon. We also live upside down however.
@@hayden6383 oh no, I got relatives there but I'm from Austria, but with ur word Google spite something out I understand and we call them honey melon or rather the German word Honigmelone.
Thanks for this. My cat has pica and will eat literally anything, so I have to be very careful. I'd love to see a video about pica and how to keep cats with pica safe.
I just learned something new. I have two kittens (first time owner) so i been learning thru these vids
I had a Siamese that would eat the sleeves of sweaters and the cuffs of socks... apparently this is very common...especially in the males. Breeders call them "Wool eaters" although mine was just as happy with nice polyester!
My cat has pica too, he mainly goes for plastic... 😔
Oh thank you so much for sharing this. My second cat Kyarah loves to steal my leftover lettuce and tomato from my vegan burgers. I usually don't allow them to eat table scraps but I used to let her eat the lettuce and tomato in moderation. Like once a month literally. I call her my vegan Kitty cause it's a struggle to get her to eat healthy meats but she loves to chew veggies.
My cat thinks his vegetarian too I’m slowly teaching him to eat some different meats but he is so fussy. He gets a bit of dry food with it to make sure he eats enough he gets occasional veges as a treat his fav is orange sweet potato and spinach the top fave.
My cat (16 yrs), is a coconut oil addict. He has a little bit morning and evening and I noticed an improvement in his mobility and tremors as a result. A Google search indicated it was okay in small doses, but I wish there was a more in-depth study on it.
A lot of these I didnt know about. Crazy that milk is toxic, I remember always seeing it on TV and cartoons growing up.
@@outlawtornuk666 I feel like I've never seen a lactose intolerant cat in my life, but I try not to give my cat milk unless she asks for it, which is rare, and she doesn't have problems afterwards, but I'm always on the lookout. But I also feel like cats can actually be mutating towards being able to digest milk, since I really have seen a few cats in my life and all of them were fine with milk and didn't have any issues after drinking it. Although they definitely prefer water, and I always have fresh water available for my cat
I don't think it's technically "toxic" but will give your cat an upset stomach. Straight up milk is always a no-no but cheese or yogurt have considerably less lactose and can be given as a treat in moderation depending on your cat.
It can wreck havoc on their digestive system. You can by lactose-free milk though.
I do not OWN a cat. But i will share this information!
Several precious, cute, little lives depend on it!
Love your program. You are one unique man.
Very good tips, do not do raisins, at New Year's Eve in the Netherlands we eat oliebollen, an oil fried bun with apple and raisins in it, our 2 cats are always curious so their first New Year's Eve, advice from the vet, NO, but not doing so is toxic indeed .
Every friday they get some smoked mackerel and they love that
when i was at my grandmas place, there's like stray cats come by and she only feeds them bread and nothing else, i tried to tell her and others to not feed them she just ignored :/
Yeah some family members are like that
maybe she secretly knows this and she hates them
Modern cat foods include lots of grain (organ meat flavored grains and soy.) And Cats evolved to eat the whole-mouse, etc, including what was in its stomach. If the cats like the bread and it seems they do, I don't see anything wrong with it. Jackson is scientifically wrong when he claimed "Yeast in bread will swell up..." Baking kills the yeasts. Bread won't rise in a cat's stomach, nor in ours. --My source for cats eating mice stomach contents and how pet foods are made: GULP, by Mary Roach, an excellent read, esp if your inner mid-schooler is still OK.
@Chaotic Except it isn't.
Jackson Galaxy: "A Ball of meat, that's so gross"
Me: Laughs in Italian from inside Ikea
Yup considering chop meat/ground beef is really burgers in the making LOL
@@LadyTreyah Wait until Jackson Galaxy hears about meat loaf.
I'm not dumb, I actually love veggies too but I choose to eat meat as well. It doesn't make me ignorant, it make me someone who has the choice of what I ingest. You do you, Beau boo.
@Anonny Moose Maybe, if you would have had some animal protein you would have replied faster than two weeks later.
@Anonny Moose Long ago my ancestors hunted, and when they did they ate not just to survive but they made sure every part of the animal was used. We thanked it for giving its life so we may survive. We thanked Mother Earth for the vegetables we ate. We thanked Father Sky for the air we breathed, and the waters which replenished our bodies. I never waste food, I eat till my fill and no more. I give thanks to the Creator for what I have every day. I respect all things. Life is filled with Balance. It is a necessary thing. Without it nature becomes imbalanced and we suffer for it. The same question can apply to the grain and wheat, potatoes and corn we harvest. What right do we have to just take what Mother Earth provides? It is balance. Things must die so other things can grow, renew. That is how it has always been.
JACKSON: Awesome video! Kind of knew this stuff, but I learned a few things from this! THANK YOU! Have had kitties most of my life! :) Peace...Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thank you. ❤🐈❤
You've apparently never had to fight a cat for your bread! 😂
My cat likes pannetoni. Luckily I only have it around Christmas time.
Is he starved? Cats don't usually like bread.
I’m a 90’s kid and you just taught me that everything I was taught in the media is false. I been letting my cat drink milk and cheese like nothing cuse I grew up being taught that cats CAN eat tuna and milk. Makes me sad.
They can eat tuna in small amounts. I grew up thinking cats could have milk to, then i learned later that it gives them horrible diarrhea, like when someone eats too much taco bell, lol
Spectralōcēlōtl I know what your saying but from someone saying “read more books” you have horrible spelling.
Spectralōcēlōtl thanks for the advice.
I'm also a 90s kid but was never confused about milk not being good for cats.
I'm not sure what motivation you'd have to believe anything you saw on a media outlet (especially since most programs are just for entertainment, not for education. And I'm certain I saw 0 educational programs telling anyone to feed milk to cats), but the idea itself is silly. Why would a cat need milk? Milk is drank by baby animals in the wild, it's a meal specifically made for the young of that species. It doesn't make sense to give it to anyone else. Even most humans are lactose intolerant, it's something like 30% of adult humans that have enough lactase to digest milk, and those are typically concentrated around the areas where cattle have been farmed (i.e. western society).
But anyways back to main point: Yes the media is full of non-educational information/false information/etc. No education should be based on entertainment.
kiraPh1234k stfu mr/miss*perfect.
Thanks Jackson. I appreciate you 🤗
Wait a minute. I been feeding my cat fancy feast tuna trays for the past 3 years. Is that bad too then.
You might want to try other variations. Cats like variety. Tuna isn't great to eat for any living creature to live on. Mercury, mercury, mercury.
You have my sympathy. I have a wild cat I managed to tame and he will only eat 3 flavours of cat food. Thanks to Covid I can only get two of them. One is Dine tuna - he's getting this for dinner every night! Left to his own devices he'd probably just chose cat biscuits and the odd mouse he catches. Perhaps we should try some raw meats.
7:45 look at the bird on the bottom, just got pooped on. 😂
Looks like I am not the only one noticed that
Good eye(s) gentle people! I didn't catch it. But I'm laughing my butt off now :-)
Lol and then it looks up... great!
I saw that too...LOL
Looked for this comment lol
Who else gave this a like immediately after the singing intro? 😂
Thank you for your information and would like to know more about their food especially a cat of 5 months old.
I love you SO MUCH for always talking about eating RAW. It's the best thing for them.
My cat refuses to eat uncooked meat. He's a silly city boi.
Ha ha, mine too! If I offer him raw anything he just walks away like "I'm not some cultureless savage, woman!"
I've had four cats and none of them would eat raw meat, or cooked (without herbs or salt). They wouldn't/won't eat freeze dried meat treats, either.
Same here.
😹
Thank you so much!! So many people confuse "unhealthy" with "Dangerous" Some things as a once in a while treat are ok! Its just like humans, we can eat a peice of cake on occasion without fear of destroying our livers :P (im not saying cats should eat cake lol)
7:43 Thank You, Random Bird, For Dropping A Load On Screen.
and the one underneath looked up and was all, "WTF, man? "
We always gave are cat tuna once and awhile probably about 3 tablespoons but the last two times (maybe 3) she was getting bound up and couldn't go. The first time that happened we had to take her to the vets we hadn't yet associated it with the tuna. She's older now about 11 yrs so no longer gets tuna. it's ok she loves the chicken even more anyway. Nice video. I also fell for the stereo type of drinking milk. We never put it in a bowl but my wife use to let her drink from her spoon.
“A ball of meat ew”
Forgetting that people eat those over their strings of grain and egg and mashed up tomatoes
i believe Jackson is vegan
@@zofyrose Yes he is !
I think he was sort of thinking a football-sized ball of meat :p That.. might be a different level than the regular meat balls lmao
My cat drank some of my coffee when she was a kitten 😬. I’m glad she didn’t drink a lot.
My cat loved to drink coffee from time to time.
i Love your videos...Wonderful blend of wit & wisdom, binging....so...Thank You :)
PS: Hoping to have enough left over one of these months to get a Cat Nerd mug.....that's Deff a Must Have
Cat: "I have come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum.... but my human won'l let me have bubble gum."
I’ve actually been super lonely to the point of crying since December so I’m looking at adopting a cat. I don’t mind if he doesn’t always want love, just having company would be nice (although I’d love to shower it with love). Your videos has helped convince my cat-hating bf to support my choice. Thank you 🙏🏻
If you have a bf and you feel lonely you need a new bf
You should totally get a cat. It will transform your life.
I guess since all comments are about your bf, I'll tell something I've seen in cats, spayed female cats who have been socialized well are usually the way to go. my roommate got lucky with her adoption, as Dot(tiny lil squishy squishy now 2yo) is hands down one of the friendliest cats I have seen irl, granted I have seen very few but dot, she never fails to comfort her human.
Goes and sits on her lap , walks around the laptop claiming both the digital contraption and her human with her scent, asks for pets and she even sulks when her human doesnt give enough attention! Find the right cat! Else you might have to put in a lot of work(whichis mostly patience and repetition if interactions to make them comfy with you, if you ask me its 80% coz of bad socialization and care during fostering.if you dont mind the work, any willing catwould be fine! (willing coz, some cats really just dont wanna be inside, please help them if you find one)
If you have a bf who hates cats, you best get a better bf!
@@adriancacencu No. People need more in their life than just their partners such as friends or family which I don’t have. I also am disabled and my partner was working everyday 6-4 and studying 4-8 supporting me. No I don’t need a new bf so don’t act like you know peoples circumstances before telling them they need a new relationship lmao
From a fishing family here. Back in the day, my family had several cats that only consumed fresh fish, or at least it was their main source of food. According to those examples it was not a problem. However, they were outdoor cats and it is not possible to know what else they had in their diets as we also had a small farm on the property and they worked as pest control.
Thank you for sharing.
My kitten is obsessed with bread so we have to keep it locked up. She also stole some chickpeas out of my salad when I was getting something from the refrigerator. I'm hoping she grows out of having to sample everything. We found her at five weeks so maybe not being with mom long enough is the issue.
I just had the same problem last night with my new 7-month-old cat - his first time in the house at night unsupervised - I woke up to my sourdough bread torn open and eaten. This cat is a scavenger!
i have that problem w pasta i have to put her away if we are eating pasta bc she will steal it off ur plate
If she is "obsessed" with getting some kind of food, it might mean she has food cravings. And that might mean that her diet is lacking something, or there is some underlying medical problem. You should discuss that with the vet, and maybe ask the vet whether some kind of higher nutrition diet is appropriate.
@@janettesimone4088 - they are also attracted to plastic. If bread is in a plastic bag, they will attack the plastic bag. Apparently, it is shiny and they like that.
@@jonneiss7562 it seems to usually be carbs. mine likes pasta her cat likes bread. i took mine to the vet he said shes fine but do u have any carbs safe for 🐈⬛ to recommend?
