It is a common belief that cats and dogs can be
given common food but the fact is quite different from this. Cats are quite
inflexible in terms of diet;
wrong diet may lead to health problems. A cat owner must realize that cats are meat
eater by nature and they derive their maximum nutrition from non-vegetarian
foods.
Love your cat more by feeding these foods
Fish:
Cats and fish are both inseparable; fish is the only source of Omega-3 fatty
acid, mercury and protein for cats. However, care must be taken that a cat must
always be given fresh fish and not canned one. The diet must be decided based
on the size and breed of the cat; it must never be overfed at any cost.
Preferably boiled fish is suggested for the pet.
Eggs:
Eggs can be real good breakfast for cats and must be served only after cooking
and that too without oil. A cat must never be given raw eggs as it can cause indigestion.
Broccoli:
Sometimes cats are seen chewing grass and other house plants, this may
look unusual but even they need a vegetarian diet to clean their system. Now all
plants may not be good for the kitty so it is suggested to feed it small
portion of steamed broccoli. The vet must always be consulted before making
this diet switch.
Cheese:
Cats are intolerant towards lactose, so in the event of feeding milk
and milk products, they must never be overfed. Over feeding them will surely
cause digestion
problems and make their stomachs weak. The most important thing to remember
is not to give cats such dairy products every day.
Meat:
Meat is another great source of protein and essential fat for the pet. Any form of meat will serve the purpose be it turkey, chicken or ham however
care must be taken that meat must only be served as snacks, which means in
small quantities.
