I have a cat as a pet. She has been living with me for a few years. I give her food three times every day. When I brought her home for the first time, I had no idea how to provide her with good, healthy food. I hadn’t any idea how to take better care of her food. Initially, I fed her random food without any experience. For this, I had to suffer so many problems.

I was giving her oily human food every day, which caused significant issues. And I had to take her to the doctor because of that. But I want you never to do this. I will describe some essential topics about which I’ve learned. I think it will help make your cat’s life easier. I will provide some important information below about oily food. I will also tell you which oily food you can give your cats and kittens and which oily food you should avoid for your cats and kittens.

Now, I will talk about different types of oil and which ones are okay for your cats to eat and which ones are not okay for our cats. Please read the following information attentively. Generally, cats and kittens love oily food very much. They are drawn to oily food because they are unaware of its harmfulness. Some oily foods they can eat, and some are essential for their health. But how will you know about it as a beginner pet owner? Allow me to explain.

Here are some of the most common cooking oils I will mention and discuss their benefits and potential harms:

• Avocado oil.
• Mustard oil.
• Palm oil.
• Peanut oil.
• Rice bran oil.
• Sunflower oil.
• Olive oil.
• Semi-refined sesame oil.

Now, I will discuss all types of oils below one by one and explain which ones are better for any cat and kitten, as well as how much of that oily food you can give them.

Avocado oil:  Avocado oil is a type of oil commonly used by humans for cooking, massaging the body, and hair treatments. It is considered a good oil for human use and has a low acidic effect. Now, what happens if you feed your cat food that is cooked with avocado oil? Generally, nothing adverse will occur. You can give your cat food cooked with avocado oil, but it should be in small amounts. It’s advisable to limit this to two or three times a week. Additionally, it’s important to consider the age of your cat when introducing oily food. Age can affect how well cats tolerate such foods. For optimal results, consulting a veterinarian is recommended.

Mustard oil: Mustard oil is a common oil used by humans for cooking. Many people use mustard oil in their households for culinary purposes. If your cat consumes mustard oil, it is not inherently dangerous to their health. However, it’s essential to monitor your cat’s health condition and ensure they are physically fit before introducing food cooked with mustard oil into their diet. If your cat is currently in good physical condition, you can give them a small amount of food cooked with mustard oil. However, for kittens, it’s advisable to consult a veterinarian to avoid any potential risks or dangers.

Palm oil: Palm oil is derived from palm fruits and is considered non-toxic. It is generally healthy for humans. However, when feeding palm oil to your cat, it’s important to give only a small amount. Large quantities of palm oil can potentially cause diarrhea in cats. Nonetheless, normal cooked food containing palm oil is generally okay for any animal.

Peanut oil: Peanut oil is extracted from nuts and is generally beneficial for humans. However, it can pose a danger to cat health in some cases. My recommendation for you is to avoid feeding your cats or kittens food cooked or baked with peanut oil. In certain instances, it can lead to significant problems for your pets.

Rice bran oil: Rice bran oil is extracted from the bran of rice (Oryza Sativa). Sometimes, rice bran oil becomes essential for your cat’s diet. It is non-toxic and healthy for both cats and kittens. However, it’s crucial to ensure that you always provide your cat with pure food and maintain proper portion control. Moderation is key; avoid giving your cat excessive amounts of rice bran oil.

Sunflower oil: Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds and is widely used for cooking worldwide. It is not dangerous for your cats and kittens and is non-toxic. However, before giving sunflower oil to your cats, ensure that it is pure. Pure sunflower oil is beneficial for your cat’s health.

Olive oil: Olive oil, extracted from olives, is considered one of the best oils for various purposes. It is non-toxic and safe for cats and kittens. You can incorporate olive oil into your cat’s diet when necessary. It is essential for your cat’s well-being. However, always follow a routine and avoid overfeeding your cats or kittens. Moderation is key to ensuring olive oil benefits your cat’s health.

Semi-refined sesame oil: Semi-refined sesame oil is an uncommon oil. You can give this to your cat once a week as part of their diet. However, it’s important to maintain balance and moderation in their overall diet to ensure good health. While sesame oil can be included occasionally, it’s generally advisable to avoid using uncommon oils in your cat’s food. Before introducing any unusual oil into your cat’s diet, it’s best to consult with a veterinarian to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for your pet’s health.

Which food is best for your cats and kittens?

Now, let’s discuss the best food options for your cats and kittens. Boiled fish, boiled eggs, boiled meat, boiled chicken, boiled vegetables, dry cat food, wet cat food, etc., are all excellent choices for cats and kittens. These foods are considered healthy options for cats, and you’re unlikely to encounter any problems if you feed your cats and kittens these types of foods. They are the most common and recommended foods for cats and kittens. You can provide these foods to your cat without any hesitation.

Among these options, a particularly popular and nutritious choice is a mixture of fish and rice or meat and rice. Cats tend to enjoy these combinations immensely, and they provide balanced nutrition. It’s advisable to vary your cat’s diet by offering different types of food at different times. Feeding the same food constantly is not recommended as it may lead to nutritional imbalances.

Remember to always provide your cats and kittens with enough pure water every time they eat. Thank you for reading this article! If you found it helpful, please consider sharing it with other cat lovers.
