Although commercial cat food companies will use such terms as; super premium, premium, natural and quality, there are no legal or scientific definitions for those terms. When it comes to cat foods, the source of the ingredients (animal or plant) really does matter.
Is your cat overweight and no matter what you do, your cat will not lose weight?
It's probably safe to say that your cat is eating too much of the wrong foods and leads a sedentary life-style. Your cat needs exercise like - fetching a ball that you throw, climbing a tree or playing with toys. Do you think that cats need carbohydrate-laden snacks? Just like humans, this will cause obesity in your cat. Obesity in your cat is a sign of a serious problem. In order to keep him/her around, a change in your cat's diet is necessary to avoid costly and serious illnesses.
What should you change your cat's diet too?
We should be practicle regarding what's good for our cats by considering their origin and their natural diet. Did you know that our domestic cats are descendents of the wild cats that roam the African deserts? They are well suited to thrive in a desert environment and they should eat what their predessors eat.
A desert is a dry environment yeilding very little water. Since that is the origin of our domestic cats, Mother Nature designed a cat's body to be efficient in digesting meat with a low-thrist drive. Rarely will a cat eat plant food and when he does, it comes from the stomach of his/her prey.
Mother Nature designed a cat in such a manner that dry, processed and plant foods are not part of the cats' evolutionary diet. Cats' digestive system is not designed to extract needed nutrients from plants but is well designed to extract needed nutrients from meat. Their digestive system is acidic and short - that means that they can efficiently digest meat, bones and even most bacteria.
It's not uncommon, in the desert, to witness cats enjoying a meal of prey that's been dead for awhile and swarming with parasites
Cats don't normally eat plant food but after a kill, cats will eat the stomach content of their prey and in some cases berries, seeds and wild grass are found there. That's the only time a cat will eat plant foods. Cats get moisture from their prey's organ meat.
A cat's prolong intake of dry food will cause dehydration because the dry food will absorb the cat's moisture from within and that will lead to other problems such as; diabetes, urinary track problems, a weaken immune system and death.
Who's interest is best served when commercial cat food companies produce such low-grade foods?
PROFITS - grains are cheaper than meats - then they load up the dry foods with harmful preservatives. All of this spells danger for our domestic cats.
The commercial cat food companies claim their foods are wholesome, all natural, well-balanced and nutritious. However, their claims cannot be supported by science or common sense.
What should your cat be fed?
You should feed your cats a diet that closely mimics the diet of their predecessors. A raw meat diet with a little taurine sprinkled on top. Avoid feeding your cat(s) dry foods or any commercial food with any of their first five ingredients listed as a carbohydrate.
When purchasing food for your cat, always be mindful that cats are not humans. Our dietary requirements are different from cats. Return the love your cat has shown you and your family by feeding him/her food that is beneficial to them and enhance their longevity. By doing that, you will has greatly reduced the chance of your cat dying a premature death.
