Basic nutritional needs of cats

  • Protein from meat, fish or poultry source called them

  • Taurine is an essential amino acid

  • Some other vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fatty acids




Cats do not need carbohydrates, although corn, wheat and rice are used as fillers for canned and dried cat food. Other ingredients, such as glue, flavoring, and coloring, are added by cat food manufacturers to meet the consumer's aesthetic needs. Although preservatives are essential, to keep food fresh for our cats, canned foods should never be allowed to remain for long.



Tips on feeding cats

Always pay attention to your cat's food; A cat should eat enough so that it does not become obese, because obesity is one of the most common diseases for domestic cats, which, like their peers, do not have the necessary movements and jumps in the streets and alleys. Obese cats certainly get all kinds of diseases and only put more maintenance and care costs on your hands; At the discretion of a good veterinarian, be sure to pay attention to the amount of food you give your cat daily. Do not forget that cats are a 100% carnivorous animal, and unlike dogs, which can sometimes be fed non-meat, human and plant foods, cats do not behave like that, and you should always put some protein in their food basket.



On the other hand, do not forget that when some animal nutritionists talk about serving human food to cats, they do not mean to give them rice with all kinds of stews, and their purpose in expressing such a subject is basically the same as chicken and boiled patrol or It is fried that you use daily or weekly in your food basket and you can give some of it to your cat. The next point is to pay attention to the cleanliness of the food container and the environment in which you want your cat to eat; Remember that unlike street cats, which do not shy away from roaming around city bins, domestic cats care a lot about cleanliness.



Finally, it should be noted that creating and following a proper diet with your cat's food taste can be very effective in his growth and not suffering from various diseases. On the other hand, do not forget that if for any reason you have to change his diet, you should not do it all at once and you should change your cat's food gradually over time.
