Essential Feeding Guide: How to Properly Nourish Your Cat

We love our feline friends.  When it comes to feeding them we have to remember certain things: 1-Choose a food that is complete and balanced.  A food that’s complete and balanced will contain all the vitamins and nutrition your cat needs to live a long and healthy life.  Your cat will not have a need for extra vitamins if he has a balanced diet. 2-A cat’s main meal should be at dawn and dusk.  This is their hunting time, so they should have a pretty ferocious appetite. 3-The average caloric intake for a cat is 200 calories per day.  A cat is a very small creature, so you don’t want to give him too many calories in one day. 4-Do not overfeed him.  Cats are finicky.  They know when they are hungry.  They are also not good judges of how much to eat. 5-Treats should be 5-10% of a cat’s daily calories. 6-Do not feed your cat raw meat.  Raw meat may contain bacteria or e.coli.  This is very dangerous and can cause sickness or death.
