Will bread hurt my cat in anyway?

Question

i was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because i was hungry, and my Bella started crying like she wanted some. at first i kept telling her no and like any owner i showed her some bread so that she could see what i was eating. she actually started eating it. so i tossed it on the floor and let her finish it. 

after she ate it she was fine and nothing seems wrong other than she went to get a drink afterword. it was just a slice of white sliced bread, so i am just wondering if the bread that i have given her will cause any problems that will warren a visit to the vet or will she be fine?

She'll be fine.

No, unless your cat has a particular allergy to any of the ingredients found in the bread, she should be just fine.  I just wouldn't make a habit of feeding her bread because it doesn't do anything for her nutritionally.  Also, cats need a protein-based diet and many of them have difficulty digesting a high carbohydrate item like bread.  So, too much of it could give her a tummy ache or diarrhea.

I had to smile at your story because my cat does the same thing when I am eating things.  He always wants to try everything that I do and it's so hard to resist his cute face and his pleading meows!  LOL

Bella sounds like a sweetheart!

If it's anything grain or vegetable, it's not good for them.
But a little taste every now and then isn't going to hurt them,
But they lack the enzyme needed to process veggies and grains properly so it's best to only leave it as a treat once in a while and not let her have large amounts.
You shouldn't ever let them have a whole slice.
