For those of you visiting today, welcome! I’d like to begin an open ended discussion today on a particular topic. I really would appreciate your input. I have some topics for articles submitted by visitors. I will be working on articles on those topics in various formats. For today I’d like to take a topic and let you leave comments with your ideas. I’m hoping this will generate a larger pool of information for people. I also enjoy asking more than one person for ideas on issues, it gives me a larger perspective. So….here’s todays topic:

YOUR CATS DIET: THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER NUTRITION  FOR YOUR CAT

 Cats are obligate carnivours. They need diets rich in protein and cannot survive on a vegetarian diet . There are essential amino acids they need, taurine being the most important.  A  high  protein diet is essential. I feed Royal Canine products to my cats. I also add moist foods (usually turkey and chicken variety) to pregnant and nursing moms and to growing kittens that are beginning to eat. Additionally  I offer freshly cooked turkey and chicken to all my cats.  This has worked well for me thus far.  This is due in part to the fact that  the siamese I have shown the last year have amazing bodies genetically and remain rock hard. That is not a credit to me, it’s completely to the credit of their breeder Ruth Taylor of Gimsin Siamese in Maryland. A warning: if you aren’t careful with your cats dietary needs you can cause a wonderful, healthy cat to have problems. So…..please offer your feeding suggestions as well as your rationale and result. I will offer the visitor with the most comments on my site a free link on my blog for 30 days. If you are a visitor without a link or website I will post you as the daily winner by name or however you’d like. This is a daily contest.Good luck and please send your comments!
