Feeding Your Cat Right
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat meat to survive.
The Good Stuff
- Protein: Chicken, fish, beef, turkey.
- Taurine: Essential for heart and eye health (found in meat).
- Water: Cats have a low thirst drive. Wet food helps hydration.
Foods to Avoid (Toxic!)
- 🚫 Onions & Garlic: Highly toxic to cats (causes anemia).
- 🚫 Chocolate: Contains theobromine (poisonous).
- 🚫 Grapes & Raisins: Can cause kidney failure.
- 🚫 Milk: Most adult cats are lactose intolerant! Stick to water.
- 🚫 Lilies: Extremely poisonous plants.
Homemade vs. Commercial
Commercial food (Royal Canin, Whiskas, Lara) is formulated to be balanced. If cooking at home (boiled chicken/fish), ensure you add necessary supplements or mix with kibble.
Stay healthy!
