Product Information

Some recent research has suggested that if cats are fed wet food, they may be less likely to hunt so prolifically. If owners are concerned about their cats preying on garden birds, they may wish to try feeding more wet food to see if this reduces the level of hunting. Is dry food better for cats’ teeth? Perhaps another animal or a new baby has been introduced to the family? Or you've recently bought a bowl or changed their feeding area? If a cat’s surroundings change suddenly, this can cause behaviour like going off their food. Give your cat a quiet, comfortable place to eat, away from noise and distraction if possible. Growing kittens can be fed around four times daily till three months of age, then three times daily till four months of age, then at least twice daily. Adult cats can be fed up to four times daily, but keep an eye on the total quantity fed.

Cats choose their food based on smell, texture and how they feel once they start to digest it. They also like to 'graze' eating small amounts throughout the day, so it's best to leave food out for them (unless they are eating too much and putting on weight).They also need arachidonic acid, an essential fatty acid that is only found in animal tissue and the preformed version of Vitamin A, which again is only found in meat. They normally obtain Vitamin B12 from animal tissues as well.

Your cat’s natural behaviour will continue throughout their life – and they'll probably stay active and curious for years and years. In fact, sometimes you’ll find it hard to believe they're getting older at all!Some manufacturers produce frozen and freeze-dried raw cat food in both complete and complementary varieties, and the PFMA states that commercially prepared raw cat food marked as ‘complete’ has been formulated to provide the nutritional balance a cat needs in its daily diet, so if you are keen to switch, this is a safer bet. We know that many cats can be selective about the food they eat - and we also know that it’s important to avoid poor quality, nutritionally sparse products.

Which? customer scores are based on how satisfied customers are with the brand overall, and whether or not they’d recommend it if asked. Food for senior cats, usually defined as over seven years of age, should contain less protein, with high quality ingredients. It is more helpful to assess quality by observing a cat’s enjoyment eating the food, as well as their health. A cat on a poor diet tends to have poorer digestive health, with occasional vomiting, and frequent bulky or loose droppings. A high quality diet creates improved digestive health, with better formed, less frequent motions. Wet (or moist) food tends to be more palatable than dry food, and a wet diet increases a cat’s fluid intake, which is recommended by vets for cats with a number of health issues. Justine Shotton of the BVA told us there is a risk of nutritional deficiencies with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A), and risks associated with handling raw meats – both for pets and members of the household.

There are also a number of specialised diets available for cats with specific medical issues such as urinary tract disease, kidney disease, allergic skin disease, and others. These are usually used on the recommendation of the vet who is treating your pet. How much should I feed my cat? The most common food intolerances appear to be colourings, sugars, wheat, milk and soya. Obviously not all pets are sensitive to these things, but if the effects keep re-occurring it’s best to consult your vet. My cat's not eating
