Cats Diet Tips

Pets : Cats

It is important to realise that cats need a mix of both dry and wet foods. Just feeding one or the other is no good for your cat.

For instance, if you just feed the cat dry food then the cats are more susceptible to infection in their bladder area.

It can also lead to your cat getting overweight due to the higher calorific value per amount of dry food versus the same amount of wet food.

Note that with wet food you must always feed the cat specific cat food. Some owners get tempted to use dog food if they have dogs as well, however this will not give the cat the right nutrients, as cats have both a higher protein and fat content in their diet.

It is so important to make sure that a cat takes in enough water - one way to help is to pour a few teaspoons of fresh water onto their food each meal time - that way when they eat their food - you know that they are also having the fluid as well. - But they MUST also have a saucer of clean fresh water put down for them to go to whenever they want every day too. = If they dont drink enough water later in life they may well develop kidney problems.
