Cat Care - The Best, The Easiest, The Most Natural

By John Q. Ruschmeyer II


Caring for your cat is easy when you try to remember her origins. Being domesticated doesn?t mean you should abandon how she would live in the wild. Cats have evolved in the wild over millennia. They have been domesticated for a mere trifle in comparison.

This means that their nutritional and emotional needs remain identical to those of their forebears. In attempting to provide the best cat care means looking at these needs.

Lets appear at their nutritional requirements 1st.

Wild cats hunt on their personal. They hunt little animals, occasionally up to about their personal dimension, but mainly smaller sized than themselves. They hardly ever consume something other than freshly killed meat.

Contrasting this with a typical domestic cat?s diet of dried pellets and you realise how off the mark commercial pet food is. Even if dried pellets were made with the best cuts of meat (which they aren?t), the meat is still not fresh or raw.

So, if you?re making an attempt to supply the most full cat care, what really should you feed your cat?

In my opinion, the best cat food is raw meat and bones. You can?t completely duplicate a wild cat?s diet, but you can come so close as to not compromise her health. Cat care starts with food as this is consumed daily. Something done daily has much more impact on our health than say something that only happens once a year.

When a cat eats her prey, she will consume all the meat, which includes the bones. Bones are the greatest supply of calcium for a cat. And meat can only be correctly digested when it is consumed with bones. Following all, all carnivores consume meat with bones.

Not only that, crunching up on bones is the best way of keeping her teeth and gums healthy, as long as they?re not too big. No dried pellets can do that as well, despite the promises on the label.

Some think that giving a cat raw meat will trigger their hunting instinct. In my experience, it does the exact opposite. Because raw meat is nutrient dense, your cat will be satisfied and won?t feel the need to supplement her diet as when fed a nutrient deficient diet.

Organic cat care also implies offering your cat with her simple emotional and physical wants. Cats are intelligent and inquisitive. They want visual stimulation. This is very best served by getting outside, in which nature gives an abundance of stimulation.

If it?s unattainable or as well hazardous to let your cat outdoors, do make positive she has entry to protected stimulants, possibly in the kind of toys. Make positive you perform with her to guarantee she gets satisfactory workout.

Sun is an essential element of great cat care. Cats enjoy the sun and it is important to great well being for all of us, not just your cat. Normal outside entry will permit her to select for herself. For confined cats, make certain there are occasions when you can open a window (securely) to permit the sun?s rays in, unhindered by glass or plastic.

Straightforward cat care actually implies enabling your cat the freedom she desires. Confining cats indoors is going in opposition to excellent animal husbandry,

I am also of the viewpoint that declawing cats is not only painfully inhumane, it deprives the cat of the all-natural pleasure of stretching. If you are thinking about declawing your cat, perhaps you ought to also think about getting a cat is not for you. Cats have currently adapted a excellent deal to reside with us. Placing them via an needless, inhumane and unpleasant operation is purely for your advantage, not your cats.

Cats supply us with an abundance affection, really like and enjoyment. To supply even satisfactory cat care, we really should at least do the identical for them.
