Diet Tips for a Healthy Cat
By: Nick Bulka
Most of us know that feeding our cat is not really a chore at all.
Dump the food in a big bowl or dish, and the cat will eat when it's
ready. Unlike a dog, cats tend to not overeat and therefore are more
easily manageable than most other house pets. However, we need to be
careful when assuming that the food that we are feeding our cat, and
the manner by which we feed our cat, are the best choices for our cat.
Here are some tips on how to maintain a healthy diet for your kitty.
Feed your cat based on their activity. Is your cat an active cat or
does it to lay around the house all day waiting for its next meal? If
your cat is overweight and not very active at all, leaving a bowl full
of food is probably not the best idea. It is at this point that you
should begin to manage how much you feed your cat, what you feed your
cat, and how often. By taking charge of your cat's feeding habits, you
will be able to increase the life and longevity of your cat by making
this simple and easy choice. A simple "Here kitty kitty kitty" will
make your overweight and hungry feline run for the bowl to eat your
rationed healthy amount of cat food.
Watch the weather! Simply put, the environment in which your animal
lives directly affects and influences their energy needs. Extreme hot
or cold weather can increases a pet's energy needs and drinking
habits. Make sure that on hot days water is readily available and that
you feed your cat more canned food then dry. The water content within
the canned food will help the cat retain water if it is not able to
get to the water dish on a regular basis. If the weather is cold, make
sure that you are feeding your cat very nutritional cat food that is
not full of filler so that your cat will have more of the necessary
nutrients to digest to ensure that it stays healthy.
Cat feeding times. Although discussed previously, there is much more
to say about having a specific feeding time for your cat. Not only
does this allow you to feed your cat nutritional canned food, you will
also know that it will not be left in the open. Preservatives are
nice, but let's not take any chances with the food left out.
Also, by having specific feeding times, this allows you to monitor
your cat's diet by providing the food at regular times. It is a kind
of portion-control feeding, however, most cats will simply eat until
they have what they need.
Bottom line: keep a bowl full of a regular dry cat food and monitor
the intake of canned food to ensure that your cat does not get
overweight and is as healthy as it can be.
Buy the best. Though this sounds economically wrong, the truth of the
matter is this: cheap cat food usually is cheap because of the added
fillers that are put into the food.
As a general rule, cats need a daily regimen of protein found in meat,
fish, or poultry. They also need an essential amino acid called
Taurine and various other vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.
If you have looked at a label for cat food, you will notice that
wheat, rice, and even corn is used as filler for both canned and dry
cat foods. Make sure that the cat food that you choose has the proper
amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals and not as much filler. The
price of the cat food usually justifies its quality. And, as an added
benefit, cats usually only eat as much as their bodies need.
Therefore, your cat will probably eat less of the expensive of cat
food because it contains more of the nutrients that it needs and not
as much filler.
Avoid food addictions. Cats are said to be finicky animals. Whether
this is true or not, cats have been known to develop a certain
affinity toward particular brands and types of food. This could become
a problem, especially if your cat develops a food allergy to certain
ingredients and preservatives that may be contained within that cat
food.
In order to avoid this, it is recommended that early in a cat's life
that it gets used to having different varieties of cat food and
different flavors. This way, the cat is less likely to develop an
affinity for a particular brand which may inevitably lead to the cat
developing a food allergy because of the lack of variety in its daily
diet.
Overall, by avoiding cat food products that have chemical
preservatives like BHA, cornmeal, and other carbohydrate fillers, you
should be able to maintain your cat's health at an optimal level.
