What kind of cat food should you really feed your cat?
An overview of the type of cat food that is best suited to you
cats biology. Looks into the type of food cats eat in the wild
and why that is important in choosing what types of cat food are
good for your pet.
What should you feed your cat to make sure he or she will have
the necessary nutrition? What is the ideal mix of food to help
your cat live to the limit of it’s life span? Tp answer these
questions, one should look at the diet of a feline in it’s
natural habitat. In the wild, a cat eats almost exclusively
animal tissue. However, they would normally eat the entire body
of the animal, including it’s stomach contents, which has many
nutrients that are simply lacking in an animals muscle tissue.
Another question many cat owners have is: Is fresh meat the best
possible food for cats? Not necessarily. Fresh meat will not
provide a balanced diet for a cat, as they are extremely protein
dense while being very low in vital nutrients such as calcium.
Alternately, some cat owners have asked, “Is it O.K. to feed my
cat an exclusively vegetarian diet?” The answer to that question
is a clear cut no. Cats cannot produce the nutrients it needs
from an exclusively vegetarian diet in the same way that humans
can. Being a highly specialized hunter, it has simply lost that
ability during the course of it’s evolution. Major skin problems
are often the result of a deficiency in certain essential fatty
acids which can be found in animal flesh alone. Another problem
is that a deficiency of the amino acid taurine, a vital building
block for proteins in the body, which can cause both blindness
and heart failure. Cats are simply born carnivores.
Is it o.k. to give a cat only dry food? According to petshub, the answer is
yes, providing that you ensure that fresh water is available at
all times. Dry food is generally more convenient, hygienic, and
affordable than canned or fresh food. It also exercises the teeth
and reduces the buildup of tartar, which can grow into a severe
problem in cats that are fed a soft and mushy diet.
