Hi! Vet Assistant here.
1,2,3,6,7,8, and 9 are all true. Eating/drinking moderate to large amounts of these could lead to illness in both cats and dogs.
However 4 and 5 aren’t totally true.
While giving your cat fat trimmings and raw meat is very unhealthy and puts them at risk for obesity, heart disease, or exposure to salmonella and many other types of bacteria, it will not “poison” them.
Ideally you should never feed your cat meat - raw or cooked. If your cat is eating a nutritionally balanced dry food, you should not need to supplement that diet unless directed by your veterinarian.
Adult cats (and even weaned kittens) ARE very often allergic to lactose. However drinking milk, eating cheese/yogurt, or ingesting any other product containing lactose will not poison your cat.
The most common symptoms of food allergies in cats are:
• Itchy, red ears with significant wax build up or discharge. Usually accompanied by a foul odor.
• Itching around mouth, chin, tops of paws, or “hair mowing” on their belly. Essentially the cat itches so badly/frequently that it loses hair on the lower belly/inner thighs
• Having frequent loose stools and/or frequent anal gland issues
• Lack of appetite, refusal to eat, or vomiting after eating
Cats are also VERY commonly allergic to fish. Symptoms of a fish allergy are the same as the ones listed above. In this case, switch your cat to a food without any type of fish or lactose listed in the ingredients while treating any symptoms as directed by your veterinarian.
As for eggs, they are a common ingredient in many commercial grain free and “limited ingredient” cat foods. I have never heard of a case where eating eggs ever harmed a cat.

Cats domesticated themselves. Anthropologists believe cats approached humans on their own terms about 12,000 years ago. The first agricultural societies stored food that attracted mice, the cats decreased the rodent population by eating them, and a permanent, mutually beneficial relationship began. Source
most people who hate cats
- have only met other people’s cats, who may be shy or aggressive around people they dont know. they have genuinely never met a cat that cares about them
- have no idea about cat body language, so when a cat is giving off signals saying “leave me alone” “stop touching me” “im annoyed” they keep giving it attention and end up getting swatted or bitten
- have never met a cat in their life and just go off the stereotype that cats are jerks

A Confession:
For anyone that I don’t know my brain decides they look like their avatar. The avatar is female: I think they’re female. The avatar is male: I think they’re male. The avatar is a cat: there’s at least a 35% chance they’re really a cat.
