Regardless of the fact, that if your cat is a picky eater or if she is a normal one or a little on the pudgy side, they will always let you know how they truly feel about what you put in their bowl. A lot of studies have shown that cats are very opinionated about food and a lot of their opinions are formed from the first year itself where they notice how and what you are feeding them. So the best time to every variety .i.e., wet, dry, semi-dry, and understand what the kind that they love to eat is.

Though kitten time is considered to be the best time to pick the right kind of food for your cats even if your cat is a little older you can still ensure that your cat is getting all the nutrients that it needs and is taking a properly balanced meal for itself.

 

Whenever you are buying food for your cat, always ensure that you have read all the labels properly and you know what you are buying for your cat. The researchers say that as the number of options increases in the market, it becomes quite confusing for the owner to decide as to which food to buy and they tend to focus on the ingredient list then, but what they should do is always remember to notice the nutrient list as well. As it is a must! The nutrients that are very important for your cat are protein and fat mainly and hence it is extremely important to buy the kind of food that already has these things present in them.

Nowadays many food manufacturing companies put carbs and grains in the cat food as well, which is not bad because many cats actually do love the crunch that comes along with it, and also if you are giving your cat only proteins and fat, then sometimes it gets a little pricey as well. So the mix of carbs and grains makes it easier for the dry food to be held together, thus making it effective to be used in a way.

 

There are plenty of other ways to feed your cat as well. For instance, many cat owners like to give them homemade cat food. Making the entire cat food from scratch could be a task as striking the right balance of all the ingredients that a cat needs in its diet, could get a little tricky.

The things that a cat, being an obligate carnivore need to eat are as follows:

1.    Water

2.    Fatty acids

3.    Minerals

4.    Vitamins

5.    Protein from meat or fish

6.    Amino acids like taurine and arginine also from meat or fish.

 

Giving them carbohydrates from natural homemade food, like rice and corn is fine but they are not meant for a cat’s diet but giving them in small amounts will provide them with the required energy that might need and would be good for them. Hence remember to maintain a proper balance for your cat’s food and try giving them a mix of both homemade and canned foods.
