My 10 week old kitten LOVES pizza. She’s a tabby/siamese mix. Should cats eat pizza and still be healthy?

Pizza is not even good for humans. How could it possibly be good for cats?
Stick to a quality food designed for cats.

I doubt its healthy to eat the crust, but I don’t see why the tomato sause and cheese and whatever meat is on it can;t be good for it. Cats sometimes eat plants and they love dairy products and of course meat.. so I don’t see why not

My kitten likes licking my plate after i have ice cream, pizza or tomato soup and she is fine. As long as she does’nt eat it too much then she will be fine, just like people.

pizza is ok…SOMETIMES…give it to her like…once every two weeks…or if you just want to make sure it wont hurt her…just on her birthday. Don’t listen to what anybody says…cats are NOT allowed to drink milk after their toddler years…We are not even supposed to be drinking milk…unless your doctor says you should be for health reasons.

The bad part about letting your kitten eat pizza is that it has a lot of fat and that’s not any healthier for your cat than it is for you. You should be careful about what you feed her because animals cannot tolerate some foods humans do just fine on. For instance, chocolate can make dogs very ill and cats can’t take many of the same medicines dogs can. Cats also have a problem with foods that have too much magnesium in them and are sometimes allergic to grains like corn or wheat. Best to ask your vet about the pizza or anything else unusual you decide to feed your kitten.

pizza isn’t even good for humans let alone cats. pizza has cheese and cats are lactose intollerant and I’m sure that the sauce probably has onions in it which are toxic to cats and it most deffinatly has garlic in it, which is in the onion family so that is toxic to cats. let alone all the added fat and stuff that they really don’t need.
Stick with feeding her good QUALITY kitten food.

no human food is good for cats
their bodies are not adjusted to the chemicals and preservatives that may be in them
milk is also not good for cats-the cultures and homogeniztion process can affect their stomachs. they do, however, make cat milk which is specially formulated. dont’t give them any human food though!

No, pizza is not very good for cats. Infact, most human food isn’t, but licking a your plate or eating only a little bit of peporoni or something shouldn’t hurt it too much…

People food is never healthy for cats! A cat’s diet is all contained in their kibble, that’s why it is important to get the good quality food instead of the cheapest thing on the shelf!
But…
NEVER feed a cat ONION, GARLIC, or CHOCOLATE. Never let them near even the powders of these ingredient! A cat’s system can’t break these foods down and can create SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS! If your can has ingested these foods take them to the vet and they can help to avoid the effects, but if they have just had a little bit and no effects then just ask about it the next time you are at the vet, but never ever feed them anything that contains these things!

No, I would go even further and say one should only feed a cat Premium cat food like Iams–the price isn’t bad if you buy it at Dollar General.
You and I could live for awhile on lots of unhealthy stuff that gives us inadequate nutrition but after awhile we develop problems including not having the energy to be all we could have potentially been had we supplied our bodies with the fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein our bodies really need to help us develop to become healthy persons.
I know it sometimes seems fun to give in to what our pets want us to give them (especially table scraps) but we need to think of what their body really needs.

pizza isn’t good for any animal, including humans! It’s packed full of fat, you shouldn’t let your cat eat pizza… it may be cute the first couple of times but you’re not going to think it’s so cute when your cat is suffering from obesity.

If you have to ask these kinds of questions I suggest you look up some sites on kitten care right away it is obvious that you have no clue how to raise a kitten.

Do not give your cat pizza, That could be one of the worst things for it. Just feed your cat, cat kibble and canned cat foods. And remember no milk. You should get a book on cat nutrition. Keep your cat healthy. Start off with cat food, especially made for kittens.

no but I give my kitty all kinds of human food. His favored was root bear floots!

I wouldn’t give my cat pizza. They will naturally love the salty, fat pizza, but they should have only certified cat food with the proper protein and fat ratio. Good luck.

This is not a good idea.
There are many foods that can harm your kitty. For example, garlic can kill your kitty and could be present in the tomato sause of the pizza.
Onions can also be deadly to kitties and it is possible that it is present as well in the pizza sauce.
Yeast dough is also deadly to kitties because it can swell in the stomach and intestines causing gas and intestinal problems. In some cases it can even cause the intestines to ruputure.
Ive written an article about some foods that are taboo for kitties. If you want to check it out , heres the link .
