What harm can food attractants do to cats?
Small amounts of attractants generally do no harm; they are additives—mainly amino-acid or yeast based—that enhance flavor and stimulate a cat's appetite for a particular food. However, overuse can make a cat overly dependent on one food and develop picky-eating habits. If that food is low in nutrition or contains harmful substances, long-term feeding can lead to malnutrition and weakened immunity.

Can cats eat human vitamin B?
Human vitamin B is not recommended for cats. Although cats need the same kinds of vitamins, their required amounts differ greatly from humans', and a human-sized dose adds metabolic burden.
