Healthy Food For Cats

Cats are very special animals and need very healthy food for cats. Since cats are domesticated animals which means they eat meat they do not have the ability to process corn or wheat as food.

If you think a cat will not eat in the wild if it has to feed itself, it will be catching birds, mice or other small animals. If in this hunt they run in a corn field, can they stop eating corn? Have you ever thought about this? The only food they could get was meat from the animal's stomach. So when we feed our cats, we want to imitate the food we choose.

When serving dry or kibble foods, read the ingredients listed. The first ingredient in the list is certainly a large amount of the ingredient in the container. A meal is the name of a meat or other item that is packaged. Chicken A meal is a chicken cooked for consumption to be ground into a bubble. If the ingredients on the list contain corn or wheat you do not want to feed mandatory meat. Potatoes are not a cat food and they are not vegetables in large quantities. Remember when you think of deer hunting for a small amount of these substances in the stomach and can be treated by the cat as a nutrient. Food coloring is not very important in cat food such as garlic, yucca, salt and pepper. Many of the things you read that you do not understand and that you find difficult to say are irrelevant to your cat diet. A little brown rice is very digestible.

In recent years it has come to the attention of the public that cat-fed cats from China contain a substance called heat gluten which has been found to be a contaminant that has caused the death of pets fed food that was thought to be safe and actually caused kidney failure and death. Recently this same ingredient was found in baby milk in China and made or killed other babies. How bad! This ingredient, Melamin, is used to increase protein content and is deadly. Reading food labels that feed your cats is important for their health and their future health.

Preservatives are another ingredient that needs careful consideration. If you have used cat food recommended by your veterinarian and made by the Hills Company, it may contain two ingredients that have been removed from human food sources. They are BHA and BHT. Why on earth would that not include a company that manufactures animal feed that requires a very special diet to become a well-known killer? Why is a veterinarian able to prescribe this animal that is sick or in need of special food? Many veterinarians have very little training in feeding healthy cats and dogs. As a very special cat breeder, RagaMuffin, I have done a lot of research on caring for and feeding cats. I want the best for the cats I keep in homes where they are loved and cared for as special family members.

My recommended food, if you feed a dry or kibble type of food is what a Florida company does with the name Trilogy. This food is the safest and healthiest I have ever found for pets. It is manufactured and shipped directly to your door so that there is no storage space for a long time. It does not go to the seller who has to put it in the warehouse before it is sent to the store for sale to the public. You will not find wheat grains in the warehouse for a long time. As it has no corn or wheat it is fully consumed by the cat so it is nutritious. Your cat does not have to eat large quantities to satisfy its nutritional needs. This also prevents overused garbage cans which is amazing.

Just a reminder, cats are sensitive animals and many can be affected by harmful ingredients so use care and caution in feeding your female mate.
