Answer 4

Meat is always a good place to start when feedinf an obligate carnivore.

I personally feed a ground Raw Meat, Bones and Organ based diet to my cats and they are incredibly healthy on it. I HIGHLY recommend it. While scary at first, once I got the hang of it and felt comfortable with it it's a snap to prepare.

Cats are obligate carnivores after all and must derive ALL their nutrients from meat based sources. They are unable to absorb them from any other source. Despite thousands of years of domestication they remain strictly carnivorous. True and honest meat eaters and that is what they need most. Protein from meat!

If you are interested in feeding a raw diet some great places to start learning are http://www.catinfo.org/  , http://www.catnutrition.org/  , and http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/  .

If you would like to try raw with your cats and don’t want to get all technical about it but want to try a trusted, time tested and balanced raw diet you can order from http://www.felinespride.com/products/cat...  . I purchased this myself when I first started and my cats loved it!

Another premade Raw you can try is Natures Varity. I personally have never used this but know many people that do and it’s pretty easy to find http://www.naturesvariety.com/content.la...

Answer 6

The general agreement on this board is cat should not be fed human food, mainly because a cat has a very different diet from humans. However, occasionally, it won't harm the cat if you give it a little human food in the form of wholesome meat like chicken breast.

Tuna and fish are a favorite but be very careful because Tuna is very appetizing and your cat might develop a taste for it and nothing else. Tuna also does not contain significant amounts of vitamin E, for example, so too much of the fish can lead to vitamin E deficiency, resulting in yellow fat disease, or steatitis. Fish also contains some level or mercury and careful consideration should be used before feeding your cats. Tuna and fish should never be used as a staple of your cat's diet.

Some plain scramble eggs (no seasoning and salt) is fine, pureed pumpkin (fresh pumpkin not canned) is recommended to be given to cats who has loose stools.

Some cats love luncheon meats, ham, sausages and hot dogs but refrain from feeding those due to their high sodium level.

Most cats are lactose intolerant but if your cat does fine with dairy, you can offer some diluted warm milk with water, plain yogurt, and once in a while, a good old slice of cheese. Any amount of dairy in large quantity is bound to upset the cat's delicate digestive system.

Vegetables, although is not harmful, provides little benefits. But cats can eat them but make sure they are cooked and not raw because cooking breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates and aids digestion. If you are feeding too much vegetable matter, or not cooking it enough, it will show up as constipation or diarrhea.

Some cats love melons - watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe. Fruits contain primarily simple carbohydrates and need not be cooked.

Like vegetables, be moderate and beware of intestinal distress.

Just be very careful when feeding your cat human food. As a precaution, it is best to avoid the best you can. Cat really doesn't need any extras if they are already eating a balanced and nutritionally superior food, in the form on wet cat food.
