Do you feed your feline both wet and dry food for cats? What about cat treats? Finding the perfect combination of food for your new (or old) cat friend can be a challenging process. One day your cat may love tuna and the next prefer chicken. Too bad cats can only use meows and physical expressions to tell us what they're feeling the process could be so much easier! Dry food typically keeps a kitty fuller for longer than wet food. However, dry food for cats can also be high in calories, so you'll want to pay attention to portion control (how often do we hear that?). You also want to purchase a dry food for cats that isn't full of artificial flavors, preservatives and fillers, such as corn meal. There are many cat foods and cat treats on the market today that are made with completely natural ingredients. Your kitty can definitely tell the difference and will surely appreciate the food or cat snacks that are all natural and full of flavor. Dry food and cat snacks in re-sealable pouches can normally stay fresher longer. So if you have to stay late at work, dry food may be a better option to leave out for your cat. If you take a mini-vacation, you can also purchase automatic feeders that dispense just the right amount of dry food throughout the day. The crunchiness of dry food also helps to keep your cat's teeth strong and to reduce tartar and plaque buildup. If you've ever brushed your kitty's teeth or had a vet do so, you know it's a tough job, and even tougher on your cat. Feeding your feline cat treats that promote oral health will save you some money and your cat some stress.
