Have you ever wondered what foods are safe to give your pet if you suddenly run out of cat food? Many times, we would imagine it. But not all foods are easy to digest, and several human foods can also be toxic if not prepared and served properly. So here is a list of 7 safe foods that are both nutritious and delicious to tide over those hunger pangs safely.

Salmon
Cats love fish. And salmon is one of the most nutritious seafood options, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and proteins. However, ensure that you don’t feed them any raw bits of fish like sushi or sashimi. Cooked salmon is safe to give and is also one of the easier seafood options to digest. You can also buy cat treats that include cooked pieces of fish commercially sold by brands like Hills, IAMS, and Purina.

Vegetables and fruits
Cooked broccoli, carrots, and green beans are all excellent sources of antioxidants, beta-carotene, and soluble fibers. These essential vitamins and nutrients boost immunity and support better digestion. But ensure no additional seasoning or too many condiments are used in preparing these veggies. You can even give them a few fresh slices of cantaloupes. But remove all the seeds and skin, so there is no risk of choking or accidental poisoning.

Lean meats
Chicken and turkey are among the best cuts of lean meats packed with essential proteins. Cats are carnivores by nature, so it is necessary to feed them some meat to supplement their daily nutrition needs. Both types of meat are the primary ingredients in commercial packaged and sold cat foods. Ensure the skin is removed properly and the chicken or turkey is cooked.

Eggs
Eggs are a rich source of proteins, essential B vitamins, and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. And the best part, eggs can be boiled, poached, scrambled, half fried or even whipped up to make a delicious omelet for your pets to enjoy breakfast by your side. Ensure the eggs are cooked all the way.

Apples
It is okay to give a few slices of apple to your cat. But remove the skin, stem, and all the seeds. Cats can digest the fibrous pulp bit of apple slices easily. Apple is a rich fiber and vitamin C source and a filling snack for most adult felines.

Cheese
Cats and kittens also love milk, and cheese is a byproduct of processed milk.
