Cats Eat Quesadillas?

I just made a quesadilla with spiced ground meat, green peppers and
onions and cheddar cheese and my cat went crazy. I gave a piece to my
mom, and he was climbing all over her to try and snatch a piece. I
don't think he has any Mexican in him being an American
Shorthair...LOL, but who knew? It's strange what cats like. I never in
a million years thought that would interest him, but he went nuts. I
just gave him a few, small bite sized pieces. Never saw him get that
excited about food before. Strange animals, these whiskered furballs
are!

Groud meat and cheese...of course a cat would like that. When Leo sees
me eating a slice of longhorn colby, he gets frantic and demands some of
it. Which I happily oblige.

Next time you make quesadillas, why not make a small amount with just the
ground meat (prefarably not spiced), green peppers and cheese. Reserve that
for your cat. Onions can be toxic to cats (a cause of Heinz body anemia),
so that is the reason for my suggestion. Your cat probably would not get
enough onions to be damaging, but it's not worth taking any risks. You can

Why don't you give him American food? You do live in America, now
don't you....?

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but please be very, very careful what you
feed your cat. Onions (raw or cooked) cause anemia in cats. Mexican food is
full of garlic which is also bad for cats. Don't know what other spices you
used. Don't know about the green peppers. *Unspiced* cooked meat is okay.
The cheese should be okay in very small quantities (assuming your cat isn't
lactose intolerance, which many cats are). BTW, raisins and grapes can be
deadly.
You obviously love your cat a whole bunch. Please be careful, as you
wouldn't want him to get sick.

Thanks guys! I never knew all those things are bad for cats. I knew
about chocolate but not those other foods. Thanks for letting me know.
I will avoid them next time. He liked the whole wheat fajita rounds
too.

As for the person who suggested I feed him American food because we
live in America....well, no comment...unbelievable...LOL!!!

Would you also give an Oriental Shorthair, Burmese and Siamese cat
American food? I would think you would feed them Asian food...LOL!
Maybe with a little duck and soy sauce on the side?
