Cat FoodCats need to eat meat to survive. Not only are they carnivorous but also in the wild, unlike other carnivores, eat a diet consisting exclusively of meat. You just have to take one look at those sharp curved feline teeth to understand that they are designed for catching, killing and eating prey.Domesticated cats living in our homes obviously are not required to hunt for their own food but instead it is our responsibility to provide the food that they need to keep them happy and healthy. The exact type of cat food you choose to buy depends on many factors. There are many different brands and types of cat food available on the market. So what you need to do is decided what kind of food is best for your cat. The cat's age, personality and likes are all very important factors when choosing food for your cat. The vegetarian cat: There is no such thing as a vegetarian cat. Cats cannot survive without a meat diet. Trying to change your cat over to a vegetarian diet is irresponsible and dangerous. Your cat must have meat in order to produce Taurine and without this your cat will become ill and eventually irreversibly blind. Kitty diner: Cats like to feel safe when eating and for this reason it is a good idea to pick a place that is elevated off of the ground to feed your cat on. Make sure that the place where your cat eats is quiet and that your cat can eat without having to worry about any other house pets or children etc… disturbing it. You should feed your cat in the same place everyday so that it becomes accustomed to the spot and understands that it is the "dining room" and that it will always find its food there. Take care not to try and feed your cat too close to its kitty litter box as cats do not like to eat anywhere near the smell of feces. Cat rations: Normally cats prefer to eat a number of small portions of food throughout the day rather than just two large portions. If your cat eats dry cat food then it will probably eat a few times during the day and possibly also at night. If you feed your cat canned food or fresh meat then you will need to serve it a few small meals throughout the day. Cats that are two to three months old will need to be fed a minimum of five times a day to help their digestive system function well. |
