Cats are obligate carnivores. This means the main ingredient of a cat's diet must be meat. Cats cannot synthesise several amino acids such as Taurine, so get all their nutritional needs from raw meat, organs and bone. Without meat, a cat would develop heart, eye and possibly kidney problems; they should not be on a vegetarian diet, or on a diet that has a large amount of grains or cereals.
The best possible foods for a cat is raw meat, bones and organs. However, if this is not possible, then premium brands of cat food are the next best thing as they supply everything a cat needs. Premium brands often have a high named meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the first, or first three ingredients. This is the best food you can feed your cat. It is wise to keep away from cheaper cat foods that have grains, corn, cereals and glutens on the Ingredients list - these are used to bulk out the foods and have no nutritional value to a cat whatsoever.
Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.
The amount of moisture in cat food is also very important. Dry food contains no moisture, so is quite dehydrating. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by), so therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own. This is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.
Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60% to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet and raw food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
Each individual cat will have its own taste and preferences. Some cats will eat many different brands and flavours, while others will only eat particular flavours or just one brand.
Whatever food a cat prefers, giving it as best a diet as possible is advisable in order to maintain the cat has the best of health.
The best cat foods are the ones with a very high, named meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, corn or any other cereals. Be sure to keep away from Ingredients such as grain, corn, wheat gluten, various sugars as they serve no nutritional value to the cat whatsoever.
My cats eat canned food(wet food) and dry food(kind of like kibbles).
.....cat food.....
Cats eat cat food from the pet store.
You should not feed a cat pizza, it is human food not cat food.
cats are carnivores, so they only like meat and fish and all treats with those flavours
I would say wet cat food from a can, probably chicken or fish flavour, just any kind of cat food but my cat seems to like wet food better than dry food and we got her when she was a stray and now shes freindly
You can give cats raw (or cooked if you like) meat.
Cats eat cat food, so therefore their breath smells like cat food. Think about it with humans. If you eat pizza, doesn't your breath smell like pizza?
cats do it fish, milk and cat food (thats why it is called cat food.) however if you feed them to much milk they become obeese. they also like egg. do not ever feed a cat chocolate - chocolate is like a poison to cats. hope this helps :)
I would say Italian food would not be good for a cat unless it is Italian Cat Food, not human food.
They eat cat food like regular cats do.
They are hunting .It is in them .When house cats were wild cats ,they hunted to get food (for example tigers) .If you are giving your cat enough food ,and it's (your cat) not eating it's pray (rats ,mice or birds) then it is just a need to hunt even when (your) cat does not eat it. It might be your food ,when cat doesn't like it then they (rats..) are cats food .Do not punish your cat!
