noodles are ok, nothing poisonous. Many cats fancy to eat a little of most human food, even fruits and groceries. No harm as long as it isnt theirs main food.
Choklad is no good!!! dangerous.
Of course, cats are carnivores, this means the main part of their food should be animal products of different sorts.
But to eat some is not dangerous. Possibly not giving them anything good, but not dangerous as such.
(OK, some cats cants stands quick changes in diet, but...).
There are some warnings:
Choklad no good no. RED varning!
many cats dont copy laktose, ie milk sugar. Therefore they get diarrea of the common milk. but all milk products (dairy?) is ok, and lowlactose milk with reduced halt of lactose is ok. Or simple water!
But if they did drink milk and fanced it and were OK - it is harmless for them. Some copy, others not.
Much liver is not good, as much of A-vitamin is no good.
But other animal products and biproducts as heart is excellent.
Cats usually love tuna, but much tuna is not good - unless you dont add extra e-vitamin.
Much raw fish is not good (destroys B-vitamins).
Raw white of eggs not so good, but yellow of eggs (yolk) excellent.
If you give them much meat (pure muscles) you must give extra calcium too in some form.
Edit. Right, garlic and onions may be poisonous. But luck cats usually dont fancy it.
Thats is about all.
So, they may try with almost everything human food as long it is fresh, save choklad - poisonous. And perhaps milk.
good luck!

Everything StefanZ said, with just a bit of a translation --- "Choklad" is "Chocolate" --- what a wonderful language English is
...
Chocolate has a substance in it, theobromide if I remember correctly, that humans can metabolize and dogs and cats cannot. In excessive quantities it is indeed poisonous for them. To be safe NO amount should be allowed.

So basically use common sense?
If you were a cat you wouldn't be eating chocolate but instead mainly meat, veggies, and fruits if available.
I think most of, if not all, the foods they "can't" metabolize are foods they normally would never eat, which is probably why their immune systems adapted to reject these substances over many years.
I dont know if thats a fact though, just my opinion. Seems to make sense.

My cats have always liked people food. Noodles and spagetti look like snakes, so they like to kill them. Peas are good to chase around the kitchen floor. One of my cats goes nuts for green olives, but he leaves the pimentos.
My parents cat loves lettuce and spinach. When mom makes a big salad for sunday dinners she always throws him a little. He likes all kinds of weird things. I know cats cant taste sweet, but he loves sweet stuff. I wonder what they have in common that isnt just the sweet. He likes fig newtons, marshmallows. We dont feed them to him regularly, just stuff he has eaten in the past and begs for now.
click here for an article on human foods toxic to cats (includes grapes and raisins) and plants that are harmful to cats.
hth!
Most foods are not harmful as long as the cat eats just a bite or two.
Dark baker's chocolate is an exception. It can be deadly. Other kinds of chocolate are not good for cats but they do not contain enough concentrated chocolate to be actually harmful. So if your cat were to eat an Oreo or even a whole milk chocolate bar (which a cat would be very unlikely to do anyway), it is very unlikely that this will cause harm. So definitely never give you cat a taste of chocolate on purpose, but you don't need to rush off to the emergency vet in the middle of the night just because you caught your cat drinking from your "nightcap" of chocolate milk.
Raisins are one food to be careful of. They have been associated with kidney failure in dogs and cats. To the best of my knowledge no cats have gotten sick yet from grape poisoning but again, better safe than sorry. Some cats really love grape flavor and for them, I think artificially flavored grape popsicles or Kool Aid would be okay once in a while.
Onions are bad news but I think the problem is onions in quantity. By this I mean that I would never let my cats eat actual chunks of onion, but I don't worry if they steal one of my ketchup-coated tater tots (which they are very fond of doing!) or if they swipe a bite of pasta with onion-containing sauce.
