Cats are carnivores. That's the most important thing to keep in mind when considering what to feed yours. Cats are very different from dogs and humans. They can’t eat the same food as us and we can’t eat the same food as them. Cats have a very inflexible diet and cat owners need to realize this so they can properly feed their cat. It's not uncommon for owners to treat their cats the same way they treat dogs, which can eat a variety of foods and remain healthy. What your cat eats is a very important part of keeping them healthy. Below are some more tips about how to feed your cat.
First, if your cat has any dietary problems or you have questions about what your cat eats contact your vet. They will know your cat and be able to give you specialized information.
Second, cats like to eat a lot of small meals rather than a few big ones so leaving dry food out during the day and giving your cats 2 or 3 meals is recommended
Here is a list of recommended brands:
Simply Nourish
BLUE
Authority
Fancy Feast
Iams
Sheba
Hills
Purina
Both fat and bones are dangerous for cats. Fat, both cooked and uncooked, can cause intestinal upset, with vomiting and diarrhea. And a cat can choke on a bone. Bones can also splinter and cause an obstruction or lacerations of your cat's digestive system.
What about my little kitten?
Do NOT give your kitten cow's milk - it can make them sick and give them diarrhea. You can obtain mother's milk replacer for young kittens at many pet stores. I recommend KMR milk replacement . When the kittens are 8 weeks or older, they no longer need the milk but may enjoy it anyway.
