Is it okay to let the cat eat her food directly from the cat food can?

Be a man and fork it into a dish.

I allow my cat to eat from those and so does my boyfriend. Animals are usually good about knowing dangers. Just make sure that the can food is not a cheap brand, they tend to use the worst machines to make and shape their cans. I have not had any problems in over 3 years with my cat eating out of a can.

Most cat food cans have sharp metal edges that can hurt a kittens tongue, so my suggestion is to spoon it out into a bowl first.

No.Your cat could seriously hert herself!EX:getting a huge cut on the side of her mouth.By the way put on a foam,plasic or paper plate cats DO NOT like the feeling of their whiskers touching the sides of a bowl.

It is hard for her to eat it out of the can. In my experience anyway. Try mixing it with mayo an dspead it on toast. It is better that way..

Plate is best.

This form of feeding will cause your kitty to develop the nasty habit of "garbage picking" which simply means tearing through a bag of garbage and pillaging.

Can become quite a nuisance.

yep. and don't forget to give it some of your food too. you will find that each one has a favorite. some like chicken best, etc. some like to go into water, some don't. some the the filling of twinkies, and think of ketchup as blood.

They are very unsafe. Come on, would you want to stick your tongue in a sharp-edged metal can?

I wouldn't - metal can could have sharp edges. why take a chance with beloved pet ?

best not to let her eat out of the can unless you have one of those safety can can openers. those should be fine.

I would hesitate to let her eat from any of the other types including the pulltop cans

nope, it is more healthy to use a fresh dish for your animal once a can is open,the can becomes unsanitary
