Don't feed a cat human baby food, especially not a sick cat. One very
common ingredient in baby food is onion powder (even the "all meat"
varieties): Onions, garlic and other allium vegetables are toxic to many
animals, including cats. The toxic ingredient is N-propyl disulfide,
which causes Heinz-body hemolytic anemia.


Actually there are brands that do not have onions in them. Baby food has
helped in some cats so I would not rule it out as a short term solution to a
cat that's not eating..
