Well, to be honest no fruit or vegetables will make a great deal of difference to a cat!
Cats have very different dietary needs to humans, and therefore don't need their five-a-day of fruit and vegetables to stay healthy.
Cats are primarily carnivores - although they do eat grass when they are ill.
They need high levels of protein to stay healthy, and therefore eat vast quantities of meat, which should contain all the goodness they will ever need.
Our last cat lived to the age of nineteen, and we never fed her any fruit or vegetables - just regular cat food!
Although most fruit and vegetables won't do much harm to your cat, they won't do much good either.
List of foods which are poisonous to cats:
Although, it is commonly believed that milk is good for cats, because they really enjoy it - it isn't. Cats are lactose intolerant, which means that their bodies find it difficult to process lactose products such as milk. It will most probably cause the cat to have rather runny stools.
