Table scraps for cats?

Both my kitties like to eat "human" food. They're bigger mooches than my dog!

Is it ok to feed table scraps to them?

Cats have very delicate digestive systems, so I'd strongly recommend AGAINST feeding yours with leftover food. Some foods, like chocolate or onions, are actually toxic to cats.

As well, keeping your cats healthy will be much harder if they get used to the fat-laced foods that they typically want from your plate. It can even get so bad that they will stop liking their own food. That can be bad for their complete nutrition.
