That list gets a few details right but is also full of nonsense. Grain is not appropriate food for cats. Fruit and anything else that contains sugar is also not appropriate. High quality cat food with at least 90 percent meat and no grain, no sugar is best. I sometimes serve fresh meat and fish too, like chicken hearts or cod. Just make sure there are no bones or bone fragments in the meat or fish and also that it has been frozen to make sure there is no risk of any infection.
Edit: removed a few details which I am not sure about
I don't think the picture is about proper cat nutrition. I think it's about giving the cat a treat/letting it taste something you're eating. You're right that you should definitely feed your cat meat or proper meat-based cat food.
Never never never never lol at least for me. Maybe I'm a scumbag pet parent, but I've never let any cat eat what I eat and thankfully ive never had to deal with begging for anything I'm eating. :P
