I have a friend who feeds her cats table food only. I have told her this is not good for them. Am I wrong? We have been having this arguement for sometime now. My male begs me for my food and I won't give it to him and she tells me to. She says it won't hurt him. Is this true?

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

Definatly NOT a good idea. It is hard to give them a balanced diet unless you have done some serious homework. There are quite a few threads on the site that list very important ingredients. One being Taurine. Things like the fact that onion or onion powder can be fatal to them. She should be very careful about this if she plans to have the cat for many years to come.

Table food only is a really bad idea. Of course what cat mommy or daddy would be a true cat spoiler without giving them a few scraps now and again. (GUILTY!)
Your friend should ask the vet to recommend a good food, or maybe you can recommend a food too!
