Feeding
- Commercially available cat food includes everything that your cat requires. But never offer your cat bones -- they can splinter into sharp pieces and get stuck in your cat's throat which is an emergency and can be life-threatening. Do not feed dog food as it does not contain all vitamins and minerals that cats require to stay healthy.
- Free access to water is essential for cats as they frequently suffer from urinary and kidney problems. You should fill your cat's water bowl daily with cold tap water and freshen it often.
- If moist pet food is not eaten within two hours, refrigerate it. Dry food and biscuits are the only foods that can be left out for any length of time.
