Feeding your cat the right foods is one of the best ways to ensure your pet stays healthy and active. Besides feeding a cat their regular meals you should have cat treats on hand to reward and, since it’s a cat, to spoil. There are certain things you should know about cat food so you can make informed decisions about what you’ll feed your kitty!

Cat Treats: Many snack products are out there for cats. Most are fine as supplemental feeding, but of course they should never take place of regular food. Try to use treats that are nutritionally balanced so as to minimize any disruption in your cat's overall diet. Treats like dried liver, which are not balanced food, should be used sparingly. In addition, these products can be useful in training.

Wet foods: Canned foods contain quite a bit of water. It is expensive. Tartar build-up may be a problem. Smell (of the food, the cat's breath, or the cat's feces) and gas may be a problem. The food can spoil quickly. The dishes will have to be washed every day. Stools will be softer. On the other hand, cats that have medical conditions requiring higher water intake may benefit from the water in these products.

Dry foods: Cats will require more water on this kind of diet, but tartar-buildup may be lessened as a result of crunching on the kibble. Generally dry food is less expensive and less smelly, and stool is firmer than with wet cat food.

Milk: Most adult cats are lactose intolerant and drinking milk will give them diarrhea. Otherwise, milk is a nutritious snack. Cream is even better than milk -- most cats can handle the butterfat just fine and it's good for them. A small serving of cream will satisfy the cat more than a saucer of milk and will contain less lactose.
