What do ragdoll cats eat?

Answer 1

Cats, being strict carnivores, are designed to eat a diet of meat. They get all their energy from Protein and Fat which is abundant in meat. A pet cat that has access to outside might hunt and eat small birds, mice, voles and other small wildlife animals.

In a domestic setting, there are several types of food cats can be fed, with the three main ones being Raw, Wet (canned) and Dry.

A Raw diet (including muscle meat, ograns and bone) is often seen as the best food for a cat or kitten as this mimicks what a cat would eat in the wild and provides nutrients in the most natural way possible. Owners that feed raw prefer this as they know exactly what they are feeding their pets.

Commercial cat food, however, is usually fed by most. In general, the best prepared cat foods 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 second ingredient. Reject brands with ingredients such as Grain, Corn, Wheat Gluten, Cereals and Various Sugars as these ingredients have very little or no nutritional value for cats. Wet foods are often much easier to find than dry foods with these specifications.

The amount of moisture in cat food is also very important, if not one of the most important part of a cat's diet. Dry food contains no moisture, so is quite dehydrating and can cause bladder problems. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is 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, a mainly wet food diet provides a cat with more than enough water each day.

Dry food, compared to its popularity, is not an ideal food to feed. Many brands of dry food, including but not limited to: Purina, Friskies, Whiskas, IAMS, Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin etc., regardless of price, contain high concentrations of carbohydrates, or fillers; such as corns, grains, and cereals. Cats can't digest these, and often gets stored as fat or expelled. These fillers are used instead of meat because, compared to meat, it is much cheaper to source, and helps to hold the kibble together. Cats need meat-based protein, not plant-based protein.

However, some high quality dry food brands such as Orijen, Innova and Applaws are free of grains and cereals.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Weruva, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack, Wellness, EVO, Grau, Animonda Carny, Bozita, HiLife, Feline Fayre, to name a few.
They like to eat wet food, or anything that is mostly made of meat. Cats are carnivores, so get all their nutrition from raw meat and bone. They also get moisture from their food, so it is ideal to feed a high quality wet food that has a high meat content.
it eats meat and fish I recommend fish <(-.-)>
Well, I myself have had lots of cats in my lifetime, and so from experience, I've noticed that they love fish! Mostly salmon and tuna, you may also know that they love milk, but thick cream is really their favourite! (They also love cheese, my two cats adore French brie, but it takes them awhile to eat! It's very sticky!) But remember, don't spoil a cat too much, it'll get used to it and won't eat it's own proper cat food! Also, only feeding a cat human food can weaken it's immune system and make it very unhealthy.
Some cats like to eat fish and for a break, they like to drink milk. However, milk is not ideal as many cats are lactose intolerant, which can cause the cat to vomit or develop diarhea. Cats are carnivores, so should be given a diet that is mostly composed of meat.

Answer 2

My ragdoll kitten eats good kitten food. Ragdolls, like all cats, need meat as the the majority of their diet, so it is ideal to find a food that has lots of meat in it (usually first or first three in the ingredients list), and avoid foods that have corn, cereal and grain in, as these provide no nutrition at all to a cat.

Answer 3

Kittens at four weeks old can be introduced to solid food as this is around the time they start to be weaned off the mother's milk. Try mashing up some good quality wet/canned food (look for a brand with a high named meat content and no grain, such as EVO or Blue Buffalo to avoid tummy upsets) for them. Mixing the food with a little bit of KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) at first helps the kittens get used to solid food. Gradually, over the course of several weeks, decrease the amount of water/milk in the food as the kittens become more confident with eating.

Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Kittens should be fed small meals at regular times, and should be allowed to eat as much as they wish.

The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST, or first three, ingredients.

Kittens need about twice as much Protein as adult cats, so the higher the meat content, the better. It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals and Soy in their foods - cats and kittens have difficulty in digesting this and can cause upset stomachs (diarrhea can quickly become fatal to kittens as they dehydrate easily), and do not provide any nutritional value to the kitten whatsoever. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Wellness, Felidae, Orijen, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), Applaws (70+% meat and comes in both tinned and dry), HiLife (60% meat), to name a few.
