What do you feed your cat?

I used to feed my cat steak (like gravy / chuck beef) cut into cubes... she loved it and it is soooo good for thier teeth as it keeps them clean etc... She loved it as well. We also use to buy pet mince as well. And she also eats tinned cat food as well - but the meat varieties now the fish ones as it is actually the fish ones that can sometimes not be as good for them but mainly because my cat is not really a fan of the fish ones as well

I started my cat on dry food... I left her with dry food she could knosh on while I was away at work... a 2 liter bottle turned upside down w/food in it... She would also come running when I made Tuna, which she loved...As did I! Kcheesh! She would lick the can clean & drink the juice whenever I had a Tuna sandwich... She would bring me other creatures she had killed as "presents" & leave them on my doorstep, But she didn't eat them...She was fine on dry food... My experience has been If U start them on dry, they can stay on dry... AC

well i used to feed my cat whiskas dry food but he got sick, he acquired urinary blockage, apparently some cat food brands are harmful to cats such as whiskas, friskies, etc so my vet told me to just feed him table food,so now i dont feed him cat food anymore, just fish and rice.

I feed my cat Iams cat food, and only Iams. My cat I had 2 yrs ago I got from a lady weighed 20 pounds,because they fed her so much people food,well she got diabietes and I had to put her down,I was so upset over this, so now no people food for my babies.once in while maybe a lick of ice cream.but if you dont start them on eating people food,they wont even miss it. I also give them a can of wet food,split it between the 2 and there very happy with that!

My parents have started to buy a special diet dryfood for their cat Leo, since he needs to lose a little weight. What say you about cats eating fish, is raw fish someting good to give cittens/cats or something to be avoided. Remember that a friends cat was a really picky eater, and only at cooked cod. I dont know if it was healthy or not but i remember that the cat wasnt ill in any way and acted/looked like any healthy cat ive seen.

My cats eat Innova brand cat food in the winter. In the summer the mainly eat what they catch outside and the dry food in the house goes untouched (unless it's raining).

As a cat breeder, I've seen a lot of discussion on this subject and everyone seems to have their own beliefs. However, I agree with what my vet explained to me. If the cat's are living in the wild, then yes, mice, birds, etc. are the best diet for them. However, an indoor cat is not being fed wild animals, most likely and they will not get the nutrients that they need unless at least fed a commercial food as a suppliment. Rats and mice contain something called taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid for the cat, which means that the cat can not synthesize sufficient Taurine from other amino acids. Humans and dogs, for example, synthesize Taurine from the amino acids Methionine and Cystine. Since this is only found in the heart muscle, skeletal muscles, brain and eyes of mammals, as well as the meat from clams and oysters, just feeding a diet of raw meat and bones will not give them the nutrients that they need. A deficiency of Taurine in cats will cause Central Retinal Degeneration (eye lesions) resulting in total blindness within two years if the deficiency is not remedied. Indoor cats also have different nutritional needs than a cat out in the wild because they have a very different lifestyle. Commercial foods are made to more completely fit the nutritional needs of an indoor cat. I've got a cat that will 19 years old next month and she's eaten Iams her entire life and has been extremely healthy. I feed all of my cats commercial foods including Iams, Max Cat, and Science Diet.

I feed my four cats a mixture of dry and tinned wet food as some like the tinned more and some like the dry food more. They are all healthy which is not to say that feeding a cat in the way that you suggest is not valid, it's just that it's not possible for most people to do so given that it would cost more in time and money to feed in that way.

I feed my cats by Cat's Food such as Friskey. Sometimes I feed them by fry fish.

I feed my cat bisquits.He likes them... Of course he would like chicken and stuff, but it costs too much to feed cats like that.Cat bisquits and cat food is what i feed him :)

You are so right! I found this out about a year and a half ago. I am feeding some canned food - Nature's Variety Instincts - and some raw. I tried commercial raw but it's just not going to work for me. So I get fresh meat from a local supplier (Taylor Pond Farms). Poppy is eating that, although Sophie is still on canned only. The meat I get is ground meat/bones/organs. Mainly chicken although I've introduced some turkey and will be getting some rabbit. I also tried lamb (don't blame them for not wanting to touch that - looks revolting!) and duck. Both went over like a lead balloon but I'll keep trying.

My cat is very lovely.I tried to feed it all kinds of different food,but it is noly eat fish.Sometimes it eat rice with fish.
