It can be tempting to share your food with your cat, especially when they meow at you so sweetly. However, we often hesitate because we’re not sure what human foods are safe for cats to eat, so we stick to giving them their Temptations Cat Food and Friskies Cat Treats. The following are 8 human foods that are safe for your cat and may even provide some nutritional benefits to them:

1. Oily fish
When you open up a can of tuna, your cat probably goes off meowing like a siren. Good news—tuna and other oily fish are not only a delicious treat for your cat, but a healthy one too! Fish can benefit your cat’s eyesight, joints, and brain.

2. Carrots
Try cooking some carrots up for a safe, healthy, and easily digested treat. Cats don’t require veggies in their diet, but your pet will definitely love this treat!

3. Rice
White rice doesn’t provide too many essential nutrients, but it is safe to share with your cat. If your cat is experiencing digestive issues, white rice is actually a good thing to give them as it isn’t hard on the stomach and is very easy to digest.

4. Bananas
Bananas should be saved as a special treat in small amounts as they do have a high sugar content, however, your cat will love the healthy and sweet taste of banana slices.

5. Berries
Berries are fantastic treats to share with your cat as they are high in antioxidants and low in sugar contents. Try giving your kitty blueberries or strawberries, we are sure they will adore it.

6. Pumpkin purée
Pumpkin puree is a delicious and nutritious treat that your cat will love. Packed with fiber and a variety of other nutrients that benefit your cats overall health, these nutrients can help with things like constipation and hairballs.

7. Oatmeal`
Oatmeal contains protein, iron, and fiber—nutrients that are all important for your cat’s overall health. What’s more, if your cat is experiencing skin problems, oatmeal can be used topically to treat them, just make sure it’s cooled down after cooking before applying.

8. Meat
When cooked and unseasoned, meats like poultry can be perfect for your cat. You’ll want to avoid processed meats and deli meats as they often have high sodium contents that are not good for your furry friend.
