Did any of these tips help? 🐈

[@robin09291]

Not sure, haven’t tried yet my cat eats anything and isn’t very picky he even will eat dog food instead of his own

This is the first time I am disappointed with the information you presented. You are suggesting giving a pregnant cat dry food. That is definitely wrong. No cat should ever eat dry food because it is fried and cooked under high temperatures and has no nutritional value whatsoever. Besides that, it is dangerously unhealthy. It has carcinogenic elements in it because it was cooked at high temperatures. Therefore it has no nutritional value and creates diabetes and cancer in animals. Because this is generally unknown by the public and because kibble is cheaper than canned food and easier to give people prefer to buy it. It is not good for cats or dogs. People do not eat dry food and animals should not eat it either. They should only eat food that is natural for them. The way God created them.

Thank you. This was helpful as I'm about to change my cat from kitten to adult cat food soon.

[@edschulhof6303]

My cats eat just about anything I give them. They eat mostly fresh chicken thighs or ground beef, with broth made from the chicken bones. Every two or three days, I give them wet cat food. I just added Weruva to the rotation and they love it. It is lower in calcium, phosphorus and sodium than most foods. Which is good for kidney health.

[@amber2398]

Aww Rue is adorable! I’m glad Rue got to go to a good home and the cat seems to be well taken care of.

Ima download for next time I change my cats food lol

[@daniellewoolley8607]

I notice some cat rescues in different countries like India they would feed the cats rice instead of cat food. I seen it several times now

[@terfalicious]

Because it's cheap and available - not healthy for cats!

[@2ahdcat]

I like to switch up my cat food weekly. Premium brands only of couse. I don't want my cats to get bored with the same meal every week.

[@nervousbabbs2769]

That's really not good for their digestive system though do your cats have diarrhea often? That could be the culprit if so just letting you know because I had a friend who did the same thing and they didn't know why their cat never had solid stools turns out she was shifting the food around far too much and the cat just could not even get used to it

[@2ahdcat]

@@nervousbabbs2769 I've had cats for 50+ years. Neve had a problem.

[@rainbowtropolis]

Another thing I've noticed with my cat, he's 18 years old and missing quite a few teeth. Dry food isn't the answer for him since he can't chew it. I leave dry food out for him just in case he wants some though. He mostly eats pate mixed with gravy made for cats or water mixed in so he can lick it up better. He's still doing alright! 😸

[@terfalicious]

Maybe soak a bit of (elder appropriate) dry food in low-sodium chick broth? Or tuna juice? Just for a change - if he's up to it!

[@ameliawarfield5637]

Good tips for cat food.

[@patrickwilkerson1728]

Also if you are trying to change what your cat eats you should stop free feeding your cat, essentially leaving their food out all day, and giving them more when their food dish runs low. A better way is to feed them on a schedule such as twice a day for an hour. As this should make them more acceptable to eat their new food as they will be hungrier.

[@StAlphonsusHasAPosse]

Good tip

[@nataliewolff6329]

I had been feeding my cat, she is 13 years old, a Wellness diet for many years. All of a sudden she is scratching herself raw from the Wellness brand. They either added something or she has become allergic to something within their cat food. I am now trying to troubleshoot other food - most of which she doesn't like or gets diarrhea from it. Any suggestions?

[@edschulhof6303]

Do you have a veterinarian? Should probably ask her first. Is the food dry or wet? Either way and it is mainly chicken, you might try a single protein wet food that is not any poultry.

[@nataliewolff6329]

@@edschulhof6303 Thank you!

[@ThePurringJournal]

This is a question for your vet! He or she will know your cat's nutritional needs best. 🐈 Also, if your vet can help figure out which specific ingredient she is allergic to, that will help narrow things down. Good luck.

[@annegillespie3974]

Thanks for the good info on cat food !😻😹😹😺

[@neilm.greenberg4173]

My friend's gang was happy with their chicken kibble and a rotation of different flavored wet foods...i cat sit the gang, often at my place, which ive turned into a test site, for foods, treats, toys, etc...about a year ago, i thought it must be boring to them to have chicken kibble everyday, and went on a hunt for a fish kibble for them...took three brands until i found one they like...we now alternate days of chicken and fish kibble, so they dont get the same thing everyday... likewise, we realized they really only want poultry or seafood wet foods, and never combinations, like chicken and salmon, or chicken and liver...so, if they get chicken kibble that day, they get fish wet food that night, and when they get fish kibble during the day, they get poultry wet food at night...🤔

[@terfalicious]

Please, would you do a video on what additives to AVOID in catfood - like carageenan? Thank you!

[@mrmeowmeow710]

Dang good info bless you for it😸👍👍
