Your Cats Eating Habits
The cats’ natural
diet consists of prey. Its teeth are geared towards the consumption and
digestion of insects, small rodents, birds, amphibians and fish. Cats do eat
some plants but they need
nutrients
that can only be found in animal tissue. Therefore, meat must be part of the
cats’ diet.
Nutrients give energy and help the cat build and replace tissue. If they are
not provided in the right amount they will not maintain a normal healthy
life. Nutritional requirements vary at different stages of the cats’ life,
that’s why there is food available on the market for each stage. People
believe if you feed a cat well it will not bring prey in to the house; this
is not true. A cat does not have to be hungry to hunt; the healthier it is
the better hunter it will be.
