Kittens and cats also should not eat anything that contains onions or garlic.
To quote Chris Bern, DVM:
"Why the big worry? Onions are very toxic to cats. Potentially fatally
toxic, in fact. They cause abnormalities in the red blood cells leading
to their destruction and severe anemia (called Heinz body anemia due to
the structure created within the blood cells), and can also cause
kidney failure. This can happen relatively quickly, and with only a
small amount of onion. It has been known to happen after cats ate baby
food with onion powder as an ingredient. Garlic is in the same plant
family, and can cause the same toxicity. Cats have died from people
giving them garlic tablets as a way to prevent fleas (which garlic does
NOT do, and has been studied scientifically). These plants are also
potentially toxic to some dogs, but the risk is nowhere nearly as
serious as with cats.
A kitten should not have the following food: dog food, cooked bones,chocolate, and milk (from cows).
