Domesticated Cats And Cat Nutrition

By: Charlie Board Home | Home-and-Family | Pets


When you look at your cat do you recognise that he or she is becoming overweight or is not moving around the house just as easily as a couple of months ago? If this is the case then the current cat diet may not be working for your pet and that could lead to joint problems or diabetes. When a kitten enters your life with their cute ways, most pet owners become motherly and start giving their kitten more than the required amount of pet food that is essential for strong bones and healthy muscles.

Feeding two three portions of food for kittens is correct however as a kitten grows into an adult cat her portions of food should be reduced. Pet food ingredients should continue to be of the highest quality to ensure balanced cat nutrition. A cat is happy to eat the same meals every day but will come to you for more food in the way of treats, especially fishy ones. Cheap cat food that is not able to supply quality ingredients in the form of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals with a low amount of fat and salt can lead to health problems.

Vets will tell you that domesticated cats tend to become lazy as they know where their next meal is coming from and that means they are not out in the garden chasing mice and getting the required exercise they need. Chasing and killing a mouse requires a great amount of energy from a cat, but if your cat is looking a little overweight then a pet diet with balanced food and portion control will see a weight reduction. The result will be your cat feeling better and showing an increase in his energy levels. We at Hills Pets Weight Management team have quality pet food for cats that can help with their cat nutrition needs.
