There are different people foods that are OK to share with your cat, however, no matter the food, old or molded food is not one of those. Food thrown in the trash is most likely not safe for your cat. If your shorthair is prone to go through the trash in search for a snack make sure you keep an eye out for molded food and lock the trash away so your cat can’t get to it. Moldy foods or foods can produce toxins called tremorgenic mycotoxins that can cause life threatening illnesses if eaten by an American Shorthair or other breed of cat. These toxins can cause body tremors that extend all over the body and can lead to convulsions that may lead to death. If your American Shorthair has eaten anything remotely moldy call your veterinarian Mesa, AZ even if symptoms aren’t present.
