Cat Information

cat food ? I have two cats ( 6 & 11 months old). I always fed them Nutro max kitten (they like it). But mainly bc I thought it was the best food out there from what i had heard. A few weeks ago my husband and I were leaving for the night and we needed to buy them food being in a hurry we had to get it at wal-mart (not my choice grrr) but I decided upon meow mix kitten. Now I chose this bc I know its an old brand and I have never heard bad things from it. Ok so we bring it home and my cats like it as well. So my husband is like ok the bag is the same size and the same price and he thinks they like it better and its just as good (I DISAGREE). He thinks they get bored of the same thing but I thought we were supposed to always keep it the same if they eat it. I love my cats so much and I want the best for them no matter what. Any opinions to this or other cat foods for that matter. PS> they are all drys.

Cat Food........? We're always trying to push our human standards onto our pets. How many times has your pet cat left a chicken, sheep, or cow at your back door? That's not what they want to eat. If you saw a cat food that was made of mice, rats, sparrows, and starlings, would you get it for your cat?

People have told me that wet cat food is best for cats, but when ever we tried it on him he got sick what could cause this??? by sick I mean lots of through up also if it matters he's half purebred himilain and half purebred nowigeian forset cat. Weve been feeding him natures logic and stuff like that vet recemended He has no food alergies as far as we know

How do Cats and Dogs know which is cat food and which is dog food? I have 2 cats and three dogs. One night, I ran out of cat food (the dry type) and my cats were hungry. So since I had dog food only and the shops were closed, I gave them dog kibbles. They're more or less of the same shape and size and are made of the same ingredients - chicken. My cats took a nibble and refused the rest of the bowl, preferring to go hungry than eat dog food. The next day, i got them a fresh pack of made-for-cats kibbles and they immediately dived in and ate up. How come my cats knew what I gave them wasn't cat food? I also know of dogs that won't eat cat food for the long run (not mine though, cos they're pigs and will eat anything). It would be good if a pet food manufacturer can answer this question. Is there some special ingredient you put in cat and dog food that makes cats and dogs know which kibbles is who's? Also, nowadays, dogs are eating fish too - like salmon. You can't say it's the ingredient. How come they know the difference?

How do I get my cat to eat wet cat food instead of dry cat food? I have heard that dry cat food is bad for your cats health. My cat loves dry cat food and only eats a small amount of the wet cat food. I used to give her dry food in the mornings but now I have started to give her wet cat food as that would be the time when she is the most hungry. This morning she woke me up meowing becuase she was hungry and I fed her one of those small tins of cat food and she only ate half. An hour later she still didn't finish it. I gave her a small pile of dry cat food and she ran straight over and ate it. I don't think it is enough food for her to be eating only one small tin of cat food a day (half in the morning, half at night). She is already small and although her weight is okay, she really doesn't need to be any thinner.

What cat food is best for a cat that vomits everything she eats? We adopted a cat that was a stray. I bought her some cheap dry cat food.

I tried mixing rice in her soft food but that didn't work.

What cat food is good for indoor senior cat with a sensitive stomach? My cat, who is 18 years old, has recently developed quite the sensitive stomach. He has an upset tummy nearly every day, & I think it's probably his food. I'm trying to find one that fits all 3 qualifications, but I can't seem to find a cat food for senior and sensitive stomach. He's been eating Iams indoor senior formula, and I'm considering switching him to Nutro Senior, because it says it's easy to digest. Has anyone else used Nutro, or have any suggestions for a good brand of senior sensitive stomach food?

What is the best food for a cat to gain weigh after nursing kittens? A mom cat and her kittens adopted my patio a little while ago, and naturally I've been trying to leave some food and water out for them as often as possible. The mom cat was very skinny so I have been feeding her extra foods packed with vitamins and fats, like chicken, special dry & canned cat food, turkey, some beef, and she LOVES biscuits and cheese! :) But she never seems to gain any weight. I want to make sure she is eating enough to produce milk for her kittens and remain healthy, but it doesn't seem to matter what food I give her. Any food recommendations for a nursing stray cat? Also... If they stay around any longer, I will have to take them to the shelter but I'd rather give them to people who will provide a good home. I live in Dallas. Please inquire if you are interested!

What is the best cat food for a cat with stomache problems? I have a young female cat that has a very sensitive stomach, so it is hard to find a consistent cat food that she will eat. She will try all the brands I have gotten, but if she throws it up she wont eat it any more. She has no trouble with wet food though, but I have 4 other cats and would like to keep the kinds of food I get to 2 kinds(dry that is), that I can keep out all day and I know that they will all be able to eat it.

Should I start feeding my cat food formulated for senior cats? Hello, I have a 7 year old, neutered male cat. Should I start feeding him senior formulated cat food? I also have a 4 year old female. She would be too young to eat senior food. I free feed them by putting their daily amount of food in their bowls and leaving it out all day. So, would it make a difference if I feed him senior food? He will probably snack on her food, and she on his. Thank you.

How long does open cat food stay good? My cat needs special [expensive] canned cat food, like $1.50 per can. She's very picky and will only eat it if it's been sitting out for a while. It is a meat-based food. If I feed her the newly opened wet food around 7am, she won't touch it until about 3pm. A human obviously wouldn't want to eat plain meat that's been left out that long because it would be spoiled. My question is, is this harmful? Would she still eat it if it was 'bad'/spoiled or would she know the difference? How long can wet cat food be left out at room temperature without being spoiled? Thanks! Thanks everyone for the details, very much appreciated. She is almost 20 years old and has irritable bowel syndrome [just like people I guess, it almost killed her a few years ago]. So she is on a restricted diet of only rabbit and duck food. She does get some dry food, something special but I forget the name. The only rabbit and duck food I have found is through a vet's office which is why it is so expensive I guess. She was so sick a few years back and had surgery for it. She pulled through and has been doing well ever since with this food. There was some interaction with chicken/beef/fish and her digestive system which is why we can't feed her the normal store food if anyone is curious. so thank you again, this really helps. hope all of your cats are happy!!

Or a way of discouraging these violent kitties? Thank you

When can you start feeding cat food to kittes? My cat just had babies and now they are 2 weeks and 5 days old. I want to know when i can start feeding them cat food.

My cat is eating my dogs food and my dog is eating my cats food? I don't know why. First my dog started eating my cats dry food. A few days later, all of a sudden my cat started eating my dogs dry food. They are all over each others food! Is this normal? Should I stop them? Will they be ok if they keep doing it? By the answers I have now I'm REALLY worried!

What is the best bagged food for my 10 year old cat? All of my cat's life, I fed him Purina One Hairball control. Well, he's 10 years old now and I want to feed him the best cat food on the market for senior citizens. Vegetarians: If you suggest non-meat cat foods, I will ignore your answer.

What kind of food is appropriate for a cat? Should I just give her dry cat food? Is it ok if I give her wet cat food too? Is it bad if I gave my cat human food to eat? What if it's fish, can I give her that? Is it ok to give her milk?
