Read the tips below before sharing any food with cats
Onions, scallions, shallots, or other closely related foods—whether powdered, dried, fresh, cooked, or as an ingredient in a processed food—should never be given to cats, as they can cause them to develop a condition called hemolytic anemia. This condition impacts/destroys a cat's red blood cells, leaving them without enough of them for healthy functioning. Severe onion poisoning in cats can be fatal. All parts of these foods—including their juice, flesh, or leaves—can cause issues for cats. Cats should not eat any amount of any type of onion or related food.
