Human food for cats ?

My oldest cat is one I inherited from my mother, who I think gave her only
the dry food, like Meow Mix, from an early age. She will nibble at good
canned food, and some human food, but prefers the dry food, which I give
her some variety of. Maybe a cat wants to stick with what it has had from
an early age, but I'm only guessing.

In addition to things like Meow Mix and Purina Cat Chow available all day,
and Fancy Feast canned food three times a day, I give my cats some human
food as treats, or when they wont eat anything else. Gerber chicken and
turkey baby food, and the thin sliced deli chick or turkey. Are there
other human foods that your cats have from time to time?

Raw beef. Popcorn. Recently, potato chips.

Careful of the baby food, btw - if they season with onion, it could cause
anemia.

Thanks for the warning. I checked the labels, and there is no seasoning.
I'm talking about only the Gerber Chicken and Turkey, though, which
is the only baby food I've been using.

One of my previous (RIP) cats loved cantaloupe & also cheese. Actually, she
loved virtually anything that was edible, but got only *tiny* treats of
human food.

My sweet late Cory also liked cantaloupe...that was the only human food he ever
expressed an interest in for 18 years...a tiny bit of cheese now and then but
nothing else. Scottie likes bread products, including pizza crust, also.
Abbey likes chicken but I'm a vegetarian so she doesn't get it from me.

My Cherokee also loved canteloupe; one of only three human foods he'd beg for.
The others were yogurt, and turkey.
