Olive Oil
Is olive oil safe for cats to eat? What about legumes like lentils and grains like rice or maize?
I am trying out different home cooked meals for my adult cat to supplement the rather boring dry cat food (Royal Canin Persian 30). This is intended as more of a treat (about 1-2 tablespoons) per day to enhance his moisture intake. The meals will be unsalted and unspiced, of course. Will ingredients like olive oil, lentils and grains aside from the meat (chicken, lamb or whatever) be OK for him to eat?
Thanks very much for the helpful advice!
I'll help you out a bit more. Olive Oil is okay in small quantities, like very small. It's sometimes in some foods I buy for my cats. Cat's don't need grains, so avoid rice and maize. I think legumes and lentils may be poisonous to cats. I know avocados aren't though and make their coast shiny. Royal Canin is sort of a rip off just so you know. It's not very good for them and is very over priced. I'm going to include a bunch of links in my sources, but start from the top and work your way down, as I will put information or home cooked meals for your cat at the top. I know people who know alot about this kinda stuff, so you can 100% trust me on this 
And salmon oil is likely a better bet then olive oil.
If you don't want to feed raw, what you can do is cook up some things like ground chicken breast and some chicken liver, add a tiny bit of things like blueberries and cranberries, some peas might be good too. Supplement with vitamins like flaxseed. I'm still kind of new at this but I'm going to try feeding my cats more home cooked stuff.
An alternative is something like Halo Spots Stew which is as close to home made as you can get!
Cat's mostly need meat, little to no grains (brown rice is sorta okay), vitamins, and some light fruits and veggies.
