What to Avoid

Persian cats should avoid certain foods that can be harmful to their health. Chocolate, onions, and garlic are highly toxic and can cause serious issues such as vomiting, anemia, or even death. Grapes and raisins should never be given, as they may lead to kidney failure. Since many cats are lactose intolerant, dairy products like milk or cheese can upset their stomach and cause diarrhea. It’s also important to avoid feeding them raw meat or fish, as these can carry harmful bacteria or parasites. Bones and fat trimmings may cause choking or digestive problems, while too many treats or table scraps can lead to obesity and nutritional imbalances. Additionally, caffeine, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners like xylitol are extremely toxic to cats. To keep your Persian healthy, always stick to high-quality, vet-approved cat food and provide fresh water daily.
