One of the most common questions I’m asked and found in the internet is, “do you think that your cat is bored eating the same food everyday?” Oh well, probably not, because cat has fewer sense of taste than you do. So cat doesn’t have the range of tastes that a person does.

To be a good cat owner, you should never skimp on food. You must know that good nutrition and a balanced diet are essential elements for a good health in a cat. Yes, this is very important. Many people never come across to this; many cat lovers provide what ever type of kibbles to their cats without wanted to know the ingredients, nutrition and diet. So, what you can do is, start to learn about cat diet. What do they need? What do they eat? What elements are good for their health? I advice, stick to a high quality diet that is complete and formulated to meet your cats’ needs.

Water is very important for cats that eat kibbles all the time. Provide fresh clean water, if possible from water filter. If you drink filtered water everyday, why don’t provide it to your cat too. Buying cat drinking fountain that inclusive filter is a recommended.

Make sure your cat is fed with appropriate food for their life stage. Dietary requirements may be different according to activity, stress levels, and medical history. Outdoor and both in/outdoor cats may experience increased levels of exercise and stress, thus require a higher percentage of protein and fat for energy production than a cat that is indoors only.

Cats in various life stages – kitten, adult, and senior – require different amounts of nutrients. Active cats need more calories, while less active cats needs less calories. Now, you can see, there’s not much different with what we needs.

Another common question is, “what is the best brand to feed?” To be honest, this is the hardest questions to answer. Different people have different numbers of cats. Different people have different budget. In my opinion, well-known manufacturers of high quality food include Iams, Hill’s by Science Diet, Royal Canin, Proformance, and Blackwood do a very good job at making quality nutritious foods that are safe, consistent, and at a reasonable price. If you want a high quality food, you can try super premium food such as Innova Evo, and Orijen. Both of these contain 0% grains.

In general, the pricier name brands are better quality and usually cannot be purchased in a supermarket. To buy them, you need to go to a pet store. Supermarkets stock what sells the most rather than the healthiest pet food. One thing to consider is that cats do eat less of the higher quality products, thus reducing the cost.

A good owner should follow the label recommendations and work with a veterinarian to decide what pet food and how much is best for your cat.

If you are qualified with all of the above, you are a good owner. I’m sure; your cats feel so lucky to have you around them.
