Cats Diet
Some people prefer to make up their cat’s food themselves, but this calls for a great deal of knowledge and understanding of both the cats dietary requirements and the composition of the various ingredients. Cats need more meat in their diets than dogs, and although some of them do develop strange eating habits, most cats will turn their noses up at cereal products.
When you feed your cat commercial cat foods, you know that he is getting all the correct nutrients. Whatever you do, you must make sure that your cat gets all the nutrition he needs, and you can really only be certain of this if you feed him not just fish and meat but a good brand of dry or tinned food too. The advantage of dry food is that it does not go off quickly. Unlike fresh meat or tinned food, you can leave a bowl of it down for your cat all day. Many cats love milk, but milk intended for human consumption is not good for cats and may cause diarrhea. This is because many cats are unable to digest lactose, which is found in all dairy products that are not sterilized. You can find milk designed especially for cats easily in the market.
