Cats aren't just small dogs. They are hunters with specific biological needs.
It means your cat must eat meat to survive. Unlike dogs (who are omnivores), cats cannot produce certain amino acids (like Taurine) on their own. They need to get them directly from animal tissue.
Best for: Grazers and budget-conscious owners. Must encourage water drinking.
Best for: Overall health, especially for male cats prone to urinary blocks.
House cats are often sedentary. Free-feeding dry food is the #1 cause of obesity. Measure portions carefully!
Male cats are prone to fatal urinary blockages. Hydration is key. A wet food diet is the best prevention method.
Cats imprint on food textures as kittens. Changing diets can be hard. Go slow—mix new food with old food over 7-10 days.
