General Information About Cats

Cats make wonderful companions, especially for apartment living. They are generally clean, low-maintenance compared to dogs, and deeply affectionate on their own terms. Providing them with a stimulating environment and proper medical care ensures a long, happy life.

What Do Cats Eat?

Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they need a meat-based diet. Ensure they have access to high-quality wet or dry cat food rich in protein and taurine. Their diet should include:

Animal Proteins: Fish, chicken, and turkey.
Wet Food: Important for hydration as many cats don't drink enough water.
Avoid: Milk (many cats are lactose intolerant), chocolate, and onions.
