Natural Cat Food Can Save Your Cat's Life

By Scott Evans

For starters when you use natural cat food you improve your cats health so dramatically that he will live on average ten to fifteen years longer. Most commercial cat food does not have much nutrition if any.

So, essentially your cat is starving even though they eat food every day. Using natural cat food lets your cat get the nutrition he needs to stay strong, active, and healthy.

Using natural cat food will not only let your cat live a longer life but it will allow you to have less vet bills. Every year people spend thousands of dollars on vet bills trying to save their cats from preventable illnesses.

Feeding your cat natural cat food will give him a strong healthy immune system so he won't have near the problems that other cats have.

Another thing to consider is that when your cat is getting the nutrition he needs he will eat less food. Cats, unlike people, do not eat for the gratification of eating. When their nutritional needs are met they stop eating because they are full. The average cat will only eat once a day when they get the proper nutrition.

Another thing to consider when feeding your cat natural cat food is that you don't have to wonder if it is safe for your cat. Making your own natural cat food is a great way to know exactly what your cat is eating. One important thing to note is that cats need a lot of taurine in their diet to live. Taurine is one of the most important things in a cats diet because it effects everything from their nerve function to their eyesight. Taurine can be found in unprocessed meat.

Some of the commercial pet food companies get their meat from dead, dying, or diseased animals. Examples are road kill, dogs and cats that are put down at the pound (the poison does not cook out so it is present in your cat's food), and diseased cows. So not only does your cat get no nutrition from most commercial food but it also causes them harm. Take note that while some do use these for meat sources, not all do.

The best way to give your cat a long and healthy life is to feed them a diet of safe cat food and natural cat food.
