I wouldn't recommend it. Reasons behind it are sometimes human food can be really fatty and actually cause harm to your cat. They can give them something called pancreatitis, which is inflammation of one of those digestive organs. Also, it can predispose them to developing obesity, which obesity in cats is associated with a lot of health conditions. So at this point I would just stick with the kitty food, which I think, my cat at least is very happy with his kitty food.

Yeah, it's kind of a tough question, because what do we really mean when we say human food? There are certain things that we eat that cats most definitely eat; chicken and fish, things like that, absolutely. Do you want to depend just on those? Of course not.
It's always safest and, in my opinion, best, to feed them a well-balanced cat-formulated diet. Does that mean commercial foods are best? We can debate that when we have more time. But I think it's the simplest thing that provides, as I said, a well-balanced diet with all the vitamins and minerals that they need. So that's what I tend to stick with for my own animals.

Yes, you can feed your cat certain human foods, but it's recommended to limit the amount given. Sharing small portions of cooked meats like chicken and turkey, or cooked fish like tuna, is generally safe. Some vegetables and fruits are also safe for cats, such as spinach. However, it's important to remember that feeding your cat too much human food might lead to behavioral issues related to begging.
