Diet

A balanced diet is critical to maintaining your cat’s health, energy levels, and overall well-being. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they depend on animal-based proteins for their nutrition. A balanced feline diet provides the essential amino acids, including taurine, quality proteins, and fats, as well as vitamins and minerals necessary for strong muscles, a healthy immune system, and lustrous skin and coat.

Your cat can have dry food, wet food, or even a raw food diet. Whichever menu you choose, make sure the meals are complete and nutritionally balanced. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, for instance. At the same time, dry food is easier to store and promotes dental health. Wet or raw diets, on the other hand, offer increased moisture, which supports hydration as well as kidney function. Regardless of dietary type, though, fresh water must be provided at all times.

Also critical is feeding your vet-recommended portions based on your cat’s life stages, such as kitten, adult, or senior cat. Kittens require significantly more calories to sustain growth, while adult cats require maintenance diets alongside joint-supporting ingredients for seniors, often coupled with easily digestible proteins. Dividing meals appropriately and scheduling regular feeding times helps maintain your cat’s stable energy levels
