Do not fill their plate.
If you cannot feel your cats ribs, it is probably overweight and daily rations should be reduced.
If you think you are feeding your cat adequate amounts of food, but it looks thin or loses weight, have it examined by a veterinarian.
Loving owners often indulge their pets into obesity.
Overweight pets have shorter life spans and are more prone to heart and respiratory problems and arthritic pain.
Help your cat stay healthy by keeping it at its proper weight.
A kittens diet will be different from that of an adult and elderly cat.
Generally a kitten should be fed little and often, whereas, an adult cat will need larger meals less frequently.
Cats will kill and eat small mammals, birds, fish, frogs, lizards and snakes. On farms, cats help reduce the vermin population (rats, mice, and other small, destructive animals).
Cats use their acute sight and hearing to catch prey.
Cats swallow large bites of meat without chewing it.
Cats are primarily nocturnal (most active at night) because of their very good night vision.
