Kitty Munchies
To be or not to be? That is the question many cat owners face when it’s kitty dinner time. Will I feed Fifi canned salmon or dry, chicken pebbles? Live mouse or chicken liver avec gravy? I always thought they were all practically the same, but to my surprise, the options vary greatly. Some critics prefer moist food, saying it’s closer to the real thing, while others say a healthy diet of crunchy fish will keep your pet’s dentist away, which works out in the long run (there’s no such thing as cat dentures). The truth is that there are many options out there and not enough experts telling you which way to go. Before you head out to the supermarket and stare bewildered at the never ending wall of pet products, read the following article written by the pros at the Cornell Feline Health Center. It describes everything from dry foods, semi moist foods, and canned foods to homemade diets, throwing a couple of helpful tips along the way. Whichever way you go, it’s better to be informed. Am I right or am I right?

If in doubt, go with Science Diet. Every single veterinarian I’ve met recommends it.
