I don't give my cats any people food if I can help it, they have been raised that way and in fact they now snub certain people foods that most other animals love, such as tinned tuna and fresh salmon. They like the occasional piece of cheese and of ham, but that's about it. Oh, they also love yogurt! These are very occasional treats, as in once every two weeks. Their favourite cat "treat" is half a tin of gourmet cat food (lamb or beef flavour) which they gobble up very fast. They onlt get that twice a week. All the rest of the time they drink water, eat dry cat food (lamb, rabbit or chicken flavours) and the occasional whiskas kitbit for fun. They are happy healthy cats who want for nothing. No need for any people food really - my cats are the proof.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
