Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could give my kitten some human biscuits, you know, like shortbread or Rich Tea, etc.?
Is it alright if I add some sardines or meat to them?
Do you think it’s dangerous or just not very good for him, even if it’s only as a treat?
If these biscuits are bad for my kitten, do you have any easy recipes I can whip up myself that would be healthy for a growing kitten?
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read! =D
See you soon!

Personally, I don't think it’s a great idea to give them treats that are really fatty and sugary; they’re just not suitable for them.
If you really want to bake something, why not try making some little treats using things like low-fat soft cheese, eggs, flour, and some ham, sardines, or other fish? That way there’s no butter or sugar, though you should still only give them a small amount. Just keep experimenting until you get the right consistency.
Luna often eats butter biscuits, she absolutely loves them and has never had any issues. You can definitely give him some, but like @Natanimaux said, no chocolate—cats and dogs have a different metabolism to ours and can’t process it. You can give him some ham, I reckon he’ll love it. As I mentioned in another thread, Luna eats everything; I’ve got her used to trying all sorts since she was tiny, even fruit, melon, dried apricots, and even salad... It’s just like with us, you have to help them develop their palate from a young age...
If it's just a small piece as a treat, then there's no problem. However, do be careful with chocolate as it's very dangerous for pets, especially if given every day.
There are cat treats available; you can find them in the supermarket.
