Most of the things that dogs and cats shouldn't eat are the same. Dogs seem to have a better tolerance for raw meat than cats these days, but if I had a dog I wouldn't give it raw meat because of the potential for food-borne illnesses.

One choice I didn't put on the list is raw yeasted dough. The yeast can ferment in an animal's stomach, producing alcohol and upsetting the microbial balance in their intestines.

Interestingly enough, I read an article recently that said while people have kept cats for several millennia, true domestication may only have occurred in the last 300 or so years.

The Wall Street Journal had a funny cartoon the other day: A cat sitting on the sidewalk with a sign in front of it reading: Will do absolutely nothing for food.
