What disease do cats get from a lack of people food? February
12, 2009 7:27 PM   Subscribe  What risk does a cat take in not
eating people food?  A month ago I found a kitten a couple weeks
old abandoned in the street. (She weighed about 1 kilo and was
an estimated 5ish weeks old, if it matters)  I took her to the
vet about an hour after I found her because she had an
infection, and she got all cleaned up and a shot for the
infection, all better now etc... Anyway, the vet stressed that
it is important to mix people food with the cat food, otherwise
cats can get diseases.  That sounded strange to me. What
diseases is the vet talking about? If its not really that
necessary I'd prefer to NOT feed the cat people food other than
an occasional fish treat or something. At the follow up visit
the vet said the same thing and our conversation got derailed
before I got more information.  Purina Pro Plan Kitten formula
