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 reasons cats live such a short time is because most cat food produces don’t make nutritious food.

The natural life span of cats is actually twenty five to thirty years but the average cat only lives to be seven to ten years old. The nutritional value of most commercial food for felines is equivalent to Twinkies.

Fortunately for us we eat other things besides Twinkies or our life span might not be much better off then the average cats.

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.

Here’s what the law says, if at the many stops on the way to the companies processing plant things get added to the meat and meat byproducts it doesn’t have to be claimed. The only things that the producers have to state as being in the food are what they personally added.

Another thing to consider is the quality of meat that is put into cat food. Basically, if it can’t be sold for human consumption (i.e. it is bad for us) then they put it into your cats food. This could be a range from anything like road kill to euthanized animals from the pound.

The poison that is used when they put down the dogs and cats does not cook out at the temperatures that the processing plant uses. That means that you may very well be slowly poisoning your cat.

But what are your options?

While there are some safe commercial foods, the best option for your cat would be to use some homemade food and some store bought food. This will give your cat the overall nutrition that he needs to live a healthy and long life.
