Holistic cat food means that the food is all natural and yes you should be using it.
The cat industries food producers are one of the biggest culprits in the early deaths of our lovable furry family members.
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.
Just imagine what would happen to you if you ate nothing but junk food for the next nine years.
Holistic means that the food is free of all unnatural ingredients. Here’s the kicker though, the manufacturers only have to list what they themselves personally put into the meat.
Basically, the law states that if the meat gets preservatives put into it at a processing plant before it reaches the cat food manufacturers then they can turn around and claim that it is preservative free.
Another thing to think about is what kind of meat goes into your feline’s food. Any thing that is not consumable by humans can be put into wet or dry food, from cancerous cow lungs to poisoned pound animals.
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?
One of the things you could do is to start making your cat homemade cat food. While this might sound like a time consuming option it really isn’t. When your cat starts getting the proper nutrition he will eat less food so you will only need to feed your cat once a day.
