cat Nutrition

cat lovers beware! your pet's internal chemical factory can't produce most of the essential vitamins and minerals, so you must help em hunt good nutrotion..cats can't naturally produce vit. a, niacin, arginine.

maybe that's one reason why cats are carnivores, they hav to aquire preformed nutrients from other sources..

i read somewhere that it's bad for cats to miss a meal. is this true?

it's no good when cats miss a meal, well, just like anyone else..never allow felines to starve, they can't mobilize their fat reserves for energy efficiently.

Mine too! My triple treat cats Machi, Coffee, Capuccino eat so well, they approach me and make some trademark gestures when it's time to eat! LOLZ

it's good to hear of your cats hearty appetites. but remember to feed them just enough. i read that as underfeeding may lead to problems, so too will overfeeding. like obesity or even toxicity caused by excess in nutrients.

how do i know if i'm feeding my pet the right amount of food?

Trish Coyne · Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:10 pm Post subject:

your pet is getting adequate diet if it is active and alert, with healthy skin and fur, and has the proper weight.

This is good info, Daniel Shocked

Thanks for this. I had no idea cats' bodies had this kind of deficiency. Do you mean to say that I need to give my cats food supplements or multivitamins in order to keep it healthy? Question

cats are never picky with their food, that's why you need to be careful what you feed them because they just might eat anything that you give them! Shocked

i get my cats to take food supplements so that they won't miss out on vital nutrients. come to think of it, most of our pets eat commercial foods, which are processed and stripped off their nutritional value. i think putting them on food supplements help. Cool

good point there melrose. i don't want my cat to miss out essential nutrients either so i give it the multivitamins it needs.

Isabella Valencia · Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 3:59 pm Post subject:

just a quick question:

what would be the best food supplement to give cats? (should this have a thread of its own?)

Regina McKee · Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 12:41 pm Post subject:

healthy meals are excellent for my cats but i think there's no harm in providing them supplements that would give them the extra boost they need. i recently used Pro-Vite Supplement for Cats, which provide my pets certain amounts of nutrients that food brought from the market may come short of.

Harvey Simmons · Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 3:59 pm Post subject:

I understand that a healthy diet will keep my beloved cat healthy, but I want to be sure so I still want to give it some supplements. Is the Pro-Vite Supplement for Cats any good, Regina? Question

Michelle Pilver · Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 8:28 am Post subject:

i think the best supplement would be something that will boost your cat's immune system. probably a supplement that will improve your pet's overall well-being. i just don't know of any specific brand. i haven't really tried any supplement on my cat just yet.

Melrose Clement · Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 8:58 am Post subject:

you can find many supplements here in pet shed! personally, i prefer pro-vite. my cats totally love it. i don't have any problem getting them to take it. Wink

yes, pro-vite simply works great for my cats. its label says it provides a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids such as Taurine and Arginine. since taking these, my cats seem more active and full of energy.

Michelle Pilver · Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 9:32 am Post subject:

pro-vite? really? i'll give that a try.

Maia Shearer · Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 2:13 pm Post subject:

haven't used pro-vite before. is it good? i'm using the cat and kitten vitamin drops I bought here at Pet Shed. so far, i have no regrets with the product.

Harvey Simmons · Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 4:01 pm Post subject:

I'll give Pro-vite a try then.
