 * 12) * You may feed your cat chicken or meat, but make sure you don't feed them this too much, or there are any other foods on it (such as pieces of onions). Feed them chicken that is not spicy and doesn't have any lemon or powder on it.

 * 16) Make sure there aren't any bugs, ants, etc., in the food, or your cat may end up eating them. If there are any of these on the table scraps, do not feed them to your cat.[[Image:Feed Cats Table Scraps Step 5.jpg|center]]

 * 20) * Don't give it more of the food, or it will start to beg a lot for more.

Tips

 * You may want to do this rarely since cats can start begging a lot for the food you give them. Don't give them too much of the food too.
 * Once the cat eats from the plate, you will not be able to use it anymore, so make sure you choose one that your cat is allowed to use.

Warnings

 * Never feed your cat anything with a dangerous food or ingredient that goes with it. This may make them very sick, or even get a disease.
 * Do not give your cat bones, even if they are bigger than their mouth. They may break a small bone off and swallow it, causing it to choke.
 * Food with spices can be incredibly dangerous to cats, as their digestive system is not adjusted to digesting spices and may cause poisoning. Any meat offered to a cat should have been cooked plain.
