You should definitely consider using holistic cat food for your cat. Holistic cat food is food that has no artificial ingredients in it.
One of the biggest problems that are cats face today is the consumption of commercial cat food.
A cat should live on average a quarter of a century but strangely enough the average life of a house cat is only eight years. This might be because of the nutritional value of the food we give them. Most store bought food is equivalent to a well-known brand of junk food with creamy insides and a golden cake on the outside.
Just imagine what would happen to you if you ate nothing but junk food for the next nine years.
When you have food that is free of everything that is not found naturally then you have holistic food. The problem with cat food being holistic is that you never know what is actually in it. The cat food company's only have to claim the ingredients that are put into the food after it reaches their plant.
Basically, the law states that if the meat gets preservatives put into it at a processing plant before it reaches the cat food manufacturers then they can turn around and claim that it is preservative free.
What they consider meat for cat food is another problem. Animals put down at the pound, parts of cows not usable for us, and road kill are all used for the meat and meat byproducts.
When they put the animals down at the pound they use a poison. This poison does not get cooked out in the processing plant so the food you feed your cat everyday may contain active poison in it.
But what are your options?
Well if you want your four legged family member to live a long and healthy life you might want to consider using a combination of homemade food and safe commercial food. With homemade food you don't have to wonder what's in it because you put it their.
