Cat Diet and Nutrition

The Basics of Cat Nutrition

Cats are obligate carnivores, which means their bodies are designed to get their nutrition from animal protein.

Wet vs. Dry Food

Both wet and dry food have their benefits. Dry food is convenient and can help with dental health, while wet food provides essential hydration and is often more palatable. Many vets recommend a mix of both.

How Much to Feed

The amount to feed your cat depends on their age, weight, and activity level. Consult the feeding guidelines on your cat food packaging, but remember these are just starting points. Monitor your cat's weight and adjust accordingly.

Fresh Water

Always ensure your cat has access to fresh, clean water. Some cats prefer moving water, so a cat water fountain can be a great investment to encourage drinking.
