Cat Health And

Cat Health Made Easy

It's probably true to say that most people who enjoy the company of cats in their home are particularly conscious of providing good cat health care.

Optimising good cat heath care will not only provide your cat with the potential of a long life, but also of a healthy, carefree one, too. It's very satisfying to see your cat happy, healthy and enjoying life.

What is the single most important thing you can do to ensure the your cat enjoys the best health?

Is it immunising your cat against all the common or known feline diseases?

Is it keeping your cat indoors, away from potential hazards such as fighting or car accidents?

Is it having them sterilised?

Perhaps it's in keeping their sexuality entire?

Could it be ensuring their teeth are clean?

What about providing a loving, secure and safe home?

There are probably as many opinions about what's important in cat health care as there are people!

Important though some of the above are, I don't think any of them are as important to optimise good cat health as something that they do every day.

Eating!

Diet and nutrition are of top priority in maintaining the health of your cat. To my mind, this is the single most important aspect in maintaining anyone's health., not just for your cat

You may be feeding your cat a top cat food, recommended by your veterinarian. You may feel that, with all the advertising, proprietary brands are the best cat food. But are they?

We all know that advertising makes hollow promises, as the advertiser is more concerned with making money than giving you the facts.

But surely you can trust your veterinarian. Can't you?

Did you know that the top pet food manufacturers financially contribute to veterinary colleges? I may be old fashioned, but to me that means the colleges aren't completely impartial. After all, you don't bite the hand that feeds you.

I suspect, that since you have reached this article, you're searching for another way to improve your cats' health, other than that recommended by your veterinarian - which is invariably everyone's first choice.

Contrary to popular belief, and to most vets who sell processed food, it is the processed food itself which wreaks such havoc with cat health. Cats evolved by hunting animals and consuming most of it immediately.

Their digestive system has evolved to cope with this. Cooked, processed, preservatives and the very low grade meat by-products which are the basis for the majority of proprietary cat food on the market, is the single, most damaging factor in the deteriorating health of your cat.

If your cat gets all his nutrition from raw food, you will see a remarkable transformation in a matter of days.

But you need to get the balance right. You need to get the quantity and variety right for a good, all round balanced diet. Otherwise you could run the very real risk of one or more deficiencies. A serious deficiency can be fatal.

And you need to know about the de-toxing effect a change to a good diet entails.

When I first started introducing raw food to my cats, it was fraught with difficulties. I made mistake after mistake. After studying and applying various other therapists ways, I finally worked out what worked and what didn't. What they said was right and what just couldn't work.

So I wrote a book about cat health, based on my own experiences. I wish I'd had it before I embarked on that particular adventure. It would have saved me so much anxt.

When you address this so very important aspect of cat health, the spin off is enormous - professional therapist fees are cut back drastically.

Why is it bad for cats to drink toilet water?
I was reading an article about cat health and of the many harmful and toxic items in your household. One of which was "toilet water." Now, I personally wouldn't want to drink from the toilet myself, however, dogs seem to do it, and evidently so do cats. My first cat never actually drank the water (she just played in it...), but both of my cats now DO drink the water when 1. the seat is up (which it shouldn't be...), and 2. when their water supply is running low (and when i see them drink from the toilet, i immediately fill their water). They also LOVE to drink from faucets (even if it's not on - they still manage to get water by making out with the faucet). I imagine it has something to do with the chemicals that you clean the potty with, but what if you don't clean it that often? Nor do you make a mess (if you catch my drift...)?

I just don't understand.......?
I have neighbors that constantly have a sign in there yard for free kittens. I know they have cats outside that they don't fix and so they're always getting pregnant. I have sent them letters suggesting that they have them fixed, I even sent them an article in our local paper about free spay/neuter clinic. Why do they not care about their cats health and also about bringing more homeless kittens into a world that is already overpopulated with them??! One of my other neighbors told me that she went over there to see the kittens and the people said they actually do it for the fun of it, cause they're so cute! Ugggh! Yet, they never take the cats to see a vet. I also called the SPCA in my city and they said nothing could be done cause it's not illegal. Makes me sick! I think if I were to try and trap them and take them myself to be fixed they would just keep one of the kittens and just not fix it. They are really something!

dieing cats?
The other day I woke up to find one of my cats dead, out of nowhere. I checked for rat poison around the house ( we moved in about 2 months ago ) and came up empty handed. I also have two other cats. Now my kitten, two days later, has become lethargic and I dont think he will make it through the night. I am worried for my 3rd cats health and dont know what to do! Any suggestions or similar experiences? Anything would be appriciated! I am bringing any remaining cats to the vet in the morning!
