As soon as you get your new feline friend into your home, it seems like everyone suddenly become experts on what cats should and shouldn’t eat leaving you confused and worried. Cats are carnivores meaning they need a lot of animal protein to stay healthy. You can combine cat food mixes you can buy in a pet shop and cooked food you can make by yourself. If you’re unsure about what your cat should eat, it’s best to talk with your vet and ask for advice. There are some foods cats should avoid at all costs and some food they should be eating regularly. The best cat food reviews, you can find at thepetnow.com.

Feline food should have a lot of protein but fewer carbohydrates and roughage.

If you haven’t noticed so far, cats are pickier about the food they eat than dogs. Often, they even care about how you serve them the food.

Cat food mixes

Cat food mixes that you can buy at pet shops and grocery stores are made to satisfy cat’s needs meaning they come with enough protein, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that will keep them healthy, happy, and their hair soft and shiny. You can view more about which cat food is best for them.

Raw food diets

Raw food diets are also a good option for cats. It can be hard to transition to this diet from shop-bought cat food at first, however, the benefit is worth it. Cats digest raw food better than processed food. They have more acidic digestive systems than humans so it’s easier for them. This diet can end up being more expensive, but it is highly nutritious. Make sure to store it properly by freezing the meat and defrosting it before every meal so it doesn’t attract bacteria. If your cat has a sensitive stomach or immune-oriented disease, be careful to switch them to a raw food diet. Inquire by a vet first. Check out more info on ExcitedCats.

Red meat

Red meat is very good for cats. They love eating them and it gives them the proteins and fats that they need. However, a diet consisting solely out of meat isn’t good for them as it lacks some important nutrients. The meat will keep their hearts healthy, their vision good, and their reproductive system function. Beef, chicken, and turkey are the best choices.

Fish

Fish is also good for cats and they love it. I still haven’t met a cat who doesn’t adore eating fish, but don’t give your cat raw fish. Fish have a lot of omega-3 fatty acids which will keep your cat’s kidneys, bones, eyes, and heart-healthy. Canned or cooked fish is what they love most. Fish you should give to your cat are salmon, tuna, and even some fish oil in small quantities.

Whole grains

Whole grains can be beneficial for your cat’s health as well. They are easy to make and come with healthy nutrients. Cats typically enjoy corn, polenta, rice, barley, and wheat berries. Couscous is also something they enjoy eating.

Eggs and cheese

Eggs and cheese are something cats be quite picky about, but they’re still good for them. They have lots of protein. However, like with meat and fish, avoid giving them raw eggs as they can carry harmful bacteria that can make your kitty sick. Also, some cats can find cheese difficult to digest, so in that case, cut back on dairy treats.

Vegetables

Vegetables can also be good for your kitty. Cats are carnivores, but occasional veggies can help their digestive tract. You can give them cucumbers, peas, pumpkin, cooked carrots, and broccoli, and asparagus. You can also give them spinach, but not if they have problems with their kidneys.
