Natural Cat Food
What Would Your Cat Choose?

Natural cat food is something that many people ask me about for their cat, they want to make sure that what they are feeding their pet is top quality and will not harm them in any way.

I can fully understand this as in past years there have been some terrible stories in the press of cats being poisoned by some brands of cat food. Even though this is a rare occurrence many pet owners have decided that in future they only want to feed their cats with as natural food as possible.

When we adopted Byron and Shelley our two cats we spent some time talking to the RSPCA (Royal Society For the Prevention Of Cruelty Association) about what sort of food they recommend. They really did open our eyes to the fact that many of the popular brands sitting on the supermarket shelves contain a lot of ash to bulk the food out. Unfortunately this means that nutritionally they are not that great for the cat and although may fill them up won’t keep them as healthy as they should be.

One of the companies I work with on this site is the Only Natural Pet Store; I like their products because in their own words they” pre-screen the ingredients so you don't have to!”

They carry a wide range of natural cat food products and many of them are designed for specific diets as well.

As well as their own brand of cat food they also carry many of the top premium brands also which provide the best nutrition as naturally as possible. Such as:

A Cats Natural Diet

Feeding a cat with a more natural diet can also mean feeding them a variety of foods which if in the wild a cat would seek out for themselves.

A cat in the wild would not feed on only one type of food, i.e. all fish or all poultry. This is for several reasons, firstly nutritionally they need a balanced diet but also they would not want to rely on one type of food in case there was a shortage of that type.

You may notice your cat will go off their usual brand of food from time to time; this is not because they are fussy eaters but is due to this natural instinct of food variety.

So it is always a good idea to give your cat something different from time to time but not too often as this can upset their digestive systems.
