While they can, they should not. Cats are obligate carnivores and should only eat meat.

Grits could cause your cat to have an upset stomach. Grits are almost all carbohydrates, and cats do not have the enzyme that helps them digest carbs. Cats are meant to be meat eaters, so they need a diet that is high in protein, with very little carbs. There are a number of foods that humans consume that will make your cat sick, i.e. onions, garlic, chocolate, just to name a few. Check out an article on About dot com, titled "Human Foods for Cats", that list some others. It is best to feed your cat a good quality high protein cat food to make sure that he/she will be healthy and happy.
Of course not!!! Cats are obligate (strict) carnivores. They get their protein from meat of living things. If you give them grits their system will have a hard time digesting it. Same thing as 'killer kibble'.
