Hey everyone from !cats,

This is my cat, Candy. A while ago, she looked up at me with those big, pleading eyes while I was in the kitchen, and the question immediately popped into my head: "Can she eat this?"

My other fat cat, Poppy, is just as bad—he's always eating random stuff.

I found myself frantically Googling, only to find stressful and conflicting information. I figured I couldn't be the only one.

So, I decided to build cancateat.food. I want to be clear from the start: this is purely a passion project. My only goal is to create something genuinely helpful for our fellow cat lovers when they face that moment of doubt.

The site is a simple tool to give you instant, reliable answers on food safety. Here's what it offers:

A Growing Database: It has nearly 200 foods (and counting!), with info cross-referenced from authoritative sources like the ASPCA.

Clear Safety Ratings: ✅ Safe, ⚠️ Use Caution, or ❌ Dangerous.

NEW - In-depth Blog: I've also just launched a blog for more detailed articles. The first post is live, and I'll be updating it frequently.

Built for the Community, 100% Free: I want to emphasize this point. The site is, and always will be, completely free for everyone. There are no ads, no premium features, no sign-ups, and no data tracking. It’s just a tool built out of love, to help.

Ultimately, I'm not trying to sell anything. I just wanted to use my skills to give back to the community that loves cats as much as I do.

I'd be thrilled to hear any feedback or suggestions you might have.

To respect the community rules, I've put the link to the website in the comments below.

Thanks for your time! Hope this can help someone here. 🐾

You can’t just consider the cheese! You gotta look up all the ingredients!

Consensus: hold the tomato! Otherwise, if there’s no seasoning, everything else is acceptable in small amounts.

Or...cut the green parts? I never eat those anyway. Link says that red art safe, green stem toxic. Typical burger tomato safe then.
