What Type Of Food Should You Really Feed Your CatA. M. Wilmot 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 its life span Tp answer these questions, one should look at the diet of a feline in its natural habitat. In the wild, a cat eats almost exclusively animal tissue. However, they would normally eat the entire body of the animal, including its 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 its 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.
