Found this one online while browsing for what cats shouldn't eat. However I feel like this area is quite controversial and opinionated. Also feels like half the websites are written by AI and riddled with ads. So if anyone has a good source as to what cats should avoid then let me know.

Anyways, I found this nice illustration, but wanted to hear with you peeps whether you have any experience regarding these food items.

Also what's your take on milk/sour milk for cats? My previous cat loved it so much, and she aged until she was 17 years old, and never seemed to have a problem with it. Also asked the vet at the time and she said it was OK. However every other website I visit tell to never give milk(dairy) to cats. So which is it? Does it just depend on the cat?

ice cream usually has small amounts of antifreeze in it

Weird. I read a bit about it and it seems true. It's not technically antifreeze but also is technically antifreeze. When I think of antifreeze I think of the orange or green liquid in cars. This liquid is clear and also in many vaporizors (ecigs and carts).

It's because otherwise your ice cream will freeze as hard as a rock. If you make your own, you probably won't use any.

You could probably make your own ice cream that was perfectly safe for cats and dogs. I think that goat milk is better for cats? You certainly couldn't use any artificial sweeteners though; real cane sugar or honey only.
