Most cats are sensitive to the capsaicin found in spicy foods like chili powder. It may cause digestive irritation and upset, including vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.<\/p>\n<p>Eating high amounts of onion and garlic, or garlic and onion powder, can cause an upset stomach, loss of appetite, bowel disturbances, and dehydration. Garlic and onions are in the Alliums family, which are highly toxic to our feline friends, potentially resulting in red blood cell destruction if eaten in high enough amounts.<\/p>\n<p>Another ingredient, salt, depending on how much was ingested, has the potential to be harmful to your cat. If your cat consumes too much salt, they may experience excessive thirst, lethargy, and diarrhea, among other severe signs.<\/p>\n<p>Though rare, some cats can have an allergy or intolerance to corn. For these cats, eating Takis could result in digestive issues or scratching, ear infections, and other skin issues.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Takis are bad for cats. The ingredients in Takis chips are harmful and don&#8217;t benefit your cat. So, what if they got into your bag or ate a few chips? Don&#8217;t panic. First, you may choose to monitor their signs closely and provide plenty of water to flush their system.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#8b050b;border-radius:0px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#BE383E;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px\">If your cat experiences any of the below signs, call your vet:<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px\"><div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-ban\" style=\"color:#BE383E\"><\/i> Vomiting<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-ban\" style=\"color:#BE383E\"><\/i> Weakness or wobbliness<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-ban\" style=\"color:#BE383E\"><\/i> Twitching or convulsions<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-ban\" style=\"color:#BE383E\"><\/i> Stiffness<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-ban\" style=\"color:#BE383E\"><\/i> Lack of appetite<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-ban\" style=\"color:#BE383E\"><\/i> Diarrhea or constipation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-416427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Cat-7-1-1.png\" alt=\"cat + line divider\" width=\"475\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Cat-7-1-1.png 475w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Cat-7-1-1-250x63.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>A Cats&#8217; Regular Diet<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_427601\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-427601\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-427601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Siamese-cat-eating-dry-food-from-a-bowl_catinrocket_Shutterstock.jpg\" alt=\"Siamese cat eating dry food from a bowl\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Siamese-cat-eating-dry-food-from-a-bowl_catinrocket_Shutterstock.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Siamese-cat-eating-dry-food-from-a-bowl_catinrocket_Shutterstock-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Siamese-cat-eating-dry-food-from-a-bowl_catinrocket_Shutterstock-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Siamese-cat-eating-dry-food-from-a-bowl_catinrocket_Shutterstock-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Siamese-cat-eating-dry-food-from-a-bowl_catinrocket_Shutterstock-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-427601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: catinrocket, Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A healthy cat requires high amounts of protein, moderate levels of fat, and few carbs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/guides\/cats-are-obligate-carnivores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Cats are known carnivores<\/a>, so they require a high meat-content diet to stay healthy.
