Is meow mix good for cats?

Answer 1

Meow Mix is a terrible quality food. The first ingredients are "Ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal". Cats are strict carnivores - they get all their nutrition and energy from Proteins and Fats in fresh meat. Therefore a food truly suitable for a cat are the ones with a very high, named-meat content. They should be labeled by source, such as: Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc., as the first, or first couple, of ingredients.

Yellow Corn, Corn Gluten Meal and Soybean Meal are also one of the most common causes of Allergies in foods, and provide no nutritional value to the cat.

Next there is: chicken by-product meal, soybean meal, beef tallow preserved with mixed tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), turkey by-product meal, brewers dried yeast

• By-Product Meal are the leftover parts of the animal (lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, liver, blood, bone, some fatty tissue, and stomach and intestines). Not very good quality, but better than corn.
• Salmon/Fish/Turkey Meal is terrible; its the rendered (moisture and fat removed) "waste" tissues of an animal. Very low quality which has little Protein in.
• Soybean meal is soy that is added to cat food for the protein benefit, but because its a plant it gives barely any nutritional value whatsoever. The possible allergic reaction to soy makes it an ingredient to avoid. Many cat foods have banned any soy product being used in the their foods.
• Beef Tallow is essentially rendered fat. This gives the food a bit of flavour.
• Animal Digest is a broth made from unspecified parts of animals. The animals used can be obtained from any source, so there is no control over quality or contamination. This can include roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters, restaurant and supermarket refuse.

Other things in the list that are worrying: added color (red 40, yellow 5, blue 2, and other color), there is also added salt (too much salt over a period of time could seriously harm a cat).

Needless to say, Meow Mix is very poor quality which some ingredients could cause allergies.

There are foods that are completely free of these ingredients, with Named Meat sources at the first (or even first two or three) of the Ingredients list. Such high-quality foods are much healthier for a cat and much easier to digest. Cats are carnivores; they need meat-based protein, not plant-based protein. A cat or kitten will often overeat on lower quality foods because they are not getting all the nutrients they need, which can result in obesity and other health problems which can drastically shorten a cat's lifespan and overall quality of life.
