Apparently grapes can make them violently ill. Which explains kitty witty’s episodes of violent vomitting after he eats them. He loves grapes, especially the green ones. If I leave them out on the counter he eats them all. I guess I will have to restrict his access.
He’s already poisoned himself with Advil and had to have an emergency detox at the vets.
I wonder if strawberries are okay for cats?

is your cat coming on to me?

He likes to make out with people
This is his “come hither” look…
Or he could have just eaten a grape and is sick to his stomach.
I can’t tell

My cat loves grapes and strawberries. I have been feeding him 2-3 every morning. He has not showed any signs of illness. I wonder if something will happen even if I stop giving them to him now? Did you find out about the strawberries?

Hi Jennifer! My cat loved grapes and strwberries and mangoes…anything juicy he would devour. Actually he ate dates once too. But for some reason he would not touch wet cat food. He looked at me like I was insane if we put it out for him! I never asked anyone about it though because he seemed to be fine as long as he didn’t overeat.
He was part Maine Coon- which apparently is a unique breed to begin with..maybe that had something to do with it!
Sadly we had to give him away because my allergies got so bad. It got to the point where I was having an attack every day and it was making me sick. I miss his fat little self all the time though. My house is not the same without him

My cat loves to eat mandarin oranges out of the can. I will sit and feed him the can and then we will snuggle. He also loves grapes but will only eat them when I hand peel them for him. He has never eaten a strawberry however. I love my cat.

Cats should not eat grapes at all because of it being toxic to them. Also from what I’ve read cats do best on raw meat diets. They are strictly carnivores so they eat nothing but prey in the wild.
I’ve started my own cat on a raw meat diet and she is loving it for the most part. She doesn’t seem to like eggs tho. Anyway I figured I would let you know that both grapes and rasins are toxic to them. But small amounts sholdn’t be as toxic which is why the other person who fed her cat 2 to 3 of them every morning didn’t show any signs of illness.
Also for everyone else cats don’t always show signs of illness right away. You also have to be able to see the signs of illness when they present themselves.

Have you heard of Siberian cats? They are low allergen cats. I have asthma to cats and I got one and have had no problems aside from occasional itchy eyes when it nears the time we have to bathe her…and I have even avoided that by washing my eye lids with baby shampoo. We bathe her every two weeks. Type Sibano Siberians into a search…that is the breeder we got her from…but just typing up Siberian cats will come up with lists of breeders all over. I just want to share the word with everyone that you can have a cat if you have allergies…..they have LOTS of fur too!
