- You may be confused as to how often do cats need to eat. There is conflicting advice on the matter. Some would say you need to feed them three times a day or twice, while you may also read that one meal is enough.

Cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy says that wet food is much better for cats than dry food, because dry food is more highly processed and has a much higher quantity of unneeded carbohydrates in it.
I am 61 years old and have have had animals preferably cats and dogs my whole life I have never fed either one on a time schedule I have always left out dry food 24 hours a day never had a overweight animal and never had an animal that gorged they eat when they're hungry and the food is there,
Thanks for sharing this, Jeanni!
Thats probably why there big and cat get anywhere without struggling
I was literally just gonna say something like this! I’m watching this video cause our kitten, who will be year old in November so big kitten, just hasn’t been eating her dry food that much past several days. All the cats I have had I always left dry food out. I agree with you, they eat when they’re hungry! Never had a overweight cat in my life!

My female cat was about 6 weeks old, wild,. Skin on bone starving
She never forgot the pain, she's almost 15. I feed her a can in the morning & a can at 5p. She's still afraid that there will be no food
Thanks for sharing this, Ron! Glad she found a home in you.

I rescued a 5-week-old kitten from a major street in April. She was fearful, was starving, and carried multiple parasites. We've worked with her, and now she's loving and trusting of me. But she still eats like there won't be food tomorrow. It seems like they don't forget, then?
I have 2 cats and feed them twice a day. They are nibblers and have a water fountain ⛲️ which they love. They are picky and do not like raw meat nor like eating wet food daily. I feed them wet food 3 times a week (meaty Mondays, tuna Tuesday, and sardines Saturday). Their coats are nice & shiny and they’re super healthy overall.
Habe u ever mixed wet and dry food. Or powder dry food and sprinkle ot on wet?
Nice
What a vet chooses isn’t always the best food. There’s even corn & by-products in some of their prescription food. Corn and by-products are 2 ingredients that shouldn’t be in pet kibble. When I searched online most articles said 2 meals were ideal. However, at 12 hours or more a kitty’s stomach could become hyperacidic, causing kitty to be nauseous. Easy solution: 3 meals a day. For the people who say just place a bowl of food down & kitty won’t over eat, especially if you get him/her as a kitten: this doesn’t work for all cats (if it did there would be no obese kitties). There are a variety of reasons why a kitty might need to be portioned meal fed, each kitty is unique so you just have to figure out what works for your kitty. As for their diet: all dry? All wet? A mix? Raw diet? Again, find out what’s works for your kitty. My 2 cats that will be 9 years old soon tend to get diarrhea if they get a wet food meal everyday, so they get a wet food meal every second day & kibble for the rest of their meals. To the people that say cats are carnivores: that is not really true anymore. Cats are actually omnivores but there should ALWAYS be meat in ALL their meals. Plant food like: sweet potatoes & pumpkin helps a kitty’s stomach & digestive tract by helping it pass hair, clearing up diarrhea, vomiting, & constipation (of course if these last 3 things don’t clear up in 2-3 days, or there is blood in the stool a vet visit should happen ASAP). Blueberries are also safe for cats and are rich in antioxidants, fibre, & 4 different vitamins. Just to name a few examples of plant food that benefit cats. I hope this helps someone 🙂
I’m raising twin sister kittens. I “free feed” them until full grown with food specifically made for kittens. They require special vitamins and minerals. Plenty of clean water. Small amounts of meaty wet food mixed with kitten safe veggies. And, they are growing like weeds full of frisky leaping, jumping, pouncing, playing, and sleeping safe and sound on my bed during the day and night. With me at night, always.
Such cuties! Thanks for sharing this, Clarence!
@@kittenmunch Any time. I’ve a story involving a promise to an old calico cat named Chloe five years ago. I will as time permits, write it up and send it to your viewers here on this channel and anywhere else you care to share it. It’s late here. I’ve two kittens asleep waiting for me to join them in “their” bed. It’s big enough for the three of us to stretch out at the same time….
@@clarenceyoung7511 Yes, please do tell that story whenever possible. Looking forward to it! Good night to your kitties
I had an orange cat and for his whole life I just left out a large bowl of dry food and lots of water. He lived for 18 years before going deaf and getting hit by a car. He was never overweight.
Whatever chump
It's always good to learn about cats. 🐈🐈💜💜💜
Cool! Let us know what else you'd like to learn :)
Raw diet for my cat. If I can't feed raw diet, it wet food. I stay far far away from dry food. I noticed my senior cat couldn't handle two meals a day so I tried one meal a day and it didn't work, she was still hungry but her stomach has issues accepting one full meal. That when I started splitting two meals into four small meals a day. As she reached her 20s it was three small meals a day. All Siamese cats I've owned remain energetic right through their senior years. Probably why she still need to eat as much. Just glad splitting into four worked for her. She no longer with me. She lived until age of 22 years old, almost made it to 23 years old.
Sorry to hear about your cat. Thanks for sharing this.
If you start with a young cat you can leave dry food out all day, and supplement with wet foods periodically. I was lucky to get my cat at 6 weeks and he self regulates his intake and isn't fat at all. He is a big, tall cat at 11-12 pounds and he's stayed that size for the last year and a half. He also gets two wet treats per day to further supplement his fluid and pure enjoyment intake.
Wow, that's nice to hear Neichan!
Dry food can cause diabetes in 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️s. So, be careful with kitties, please.
@@lisaryan2812 Yes, too many carbs.
That worked for me during covid since stores were out of canned food -- UNTIL constipation, megacolon, followed by NOT eating, (luckily only) $2k+ in vet bills, and almost killing him!
As a new rescue, I fed him a raw diet but the vet flipped out - they put inaccurate notes in his record that i fed him "table scraps"! Because it was difficult to source some ingredients & I didn't have a meat grinder - I relented. Three years later, one vet in the office claimed I was "ruining" his teeth by not giving him kibble. So when empty shelves hit - I thought "Why not?"
When he got sick I did a dry food deep dive & found what companies do is criminal! Don't take my word for it research it - companies are allowed to put euthanized pets 🐶🐱 in kibble & skin & bones, feathers & zero flesh!! The pet food oversight board is a sham. Industry chops up leather boot & coats & "renders" it "edible" for you kitty!🙀
@@serenitytrek I too found out that 100% dry food is incredibly constipating. And it was expensive as heck to get him cured of his constipation. But when I tried to switch him to 100% wet he wouldn't eat much and lost 2 pounds, and he wasn't ever chunky to start. so we arrived at a mix of dry and wet foods. He eats about max 1/3 of a small can of wet food before he turns up his nose. I've spent a fortune trying to find wet food he will eat a lot of, and I just can't. So we are stable on the mix of dry and wet he is eating now with no constipation, no straining.
I have a 4 month old small eater lol initially I thought he just doesn't like the food I bought for him but after trying different brands, I realized that he's just naturally like that. It's partly why I ended up here. I'm trying to spread out his wet food meals through the day and would leave dry food. hopefully it works out and we get to that ideal weight soon
Looking forward to getting him his ideal weight soon! Thanks for sharing!
Stop feeding the toxic carb cat food they try to sell at stores. Feed your cat with regular meat that humans consume, it will do well. Especially liver (only once a week). I don't feed raw meat, i just boil it a bit to kill worms.
@@rockyabhay Thanks for sharing this!
I love our skylar so much thanks so much for sharing this very useful vlog xx
You're welcome, Alison!
@@kittenmunch thanks so much for replying xx
No worries! Skylar's lucky to have you.
My cat is a grazer. Food sets out, and she eats as she wishes. I can't feel her hunger. So let her eat as she wishes. She eats grain free dry n can food. Very healthy. One thing I need to add is, she is given 3/4 of a cup of dry food per day. And 1 can of wet food. She eats as she wishes. There is food leftover. So grazers aren't gluttens or pigs when it comes to food. They eat till they are full n then go do other things.
Thanks for sharing this, Redda!
But it is not healthy to free feed your cat, but I hope you are right about your cat being healthy, I also hope that your cat is happy as well.
@@elizabethoneill8612 my sister, my nephew and myself all let our animals free feed or be grazers. They run and play, do cat fun, my girl loves to ride on my power chair, my girl plays fetch, she knows her name, she will sit on command like a dog, my girl knows the word, supper is can food or a treat. The family animals are very healthy n happy. And when they are thirsty or hungry, they go feedn drink. My girl is 4. My nephews cat is 12. My Sisters dog is 14, n her 2 cats are 5 n 8. Nobody is overweight, unhealthy. As I said, Nobody can feel there hunger. So to be fed at AM and then at PM, did they sit 6 hours hungry?? It's miserable sitting hungry
A cat's style of eating must also be considered. Our 2 senior tuxedo cats are fed frequent, small portions of wet food because they are grazers, and will not consume the necessary daily calories in 1,2, or even 3 servings. They are offered somewhat larger portions 3 times a day, but my senior boy needs several small portions to make his calorie quota. They also get some dry food given more as a treat/snack than a full meal. The wet food is never left out for very long either, but picked up when it is clear they have no interest. Neither cat is overweight, in fact we have to keep coaxing our boy because he's become even more picky over the past 2 years. I gauge their caloric intake both by how much I give them and by how much they actually eat. I also weigh the boy weekly because of his increased pickiness.
Thanks for this, Gordon!
My cat is 3 years old. I take a 5.5 ounce can of wet food, sometimes shreds with gravy and sometimes pate. I mix that with 3 oz pack of mousse. I mix those together and make 5 meals that I feed him through out the day. he usually lets me know when he is ready to eat.
@@mikemccoy3430 Thanks for sharing this!
Depends on the food. premium foods will likely fill them up and keep them less hungry throughout the day. I usually feed a portion of wet in the morning, freeze dried treats in the middle of the day, a portion of wet in the evening and a bit of dry food out during the night. This allows them to get a variety.
Very informative video, thanks so much!
You're very much welcome, Martin! Have a good one!
My 7 year old cat loves raw chicken livers every evening. In the morning she gets a tablespoon of cat tuna. She also has a bowl of unlimited pellets whenever she likes. She never abuses the pellets but grazes little bits throughout the day. She also jumps off the bed a few times at night to graze on the pellets. She has a garden to run around in. Her weight is perfect. She never ever cries for meals.
Thanks for sharing this, Alexandra!
Our little crowd 8 mos old eat 2-3 times plus some snacks. Prefer wet food but they have kibble. Strong and healthy. Lots of love. 4 sibs who love each other.
I feed my adult cat 5X a day as per directed by our Vet. Our cat has a sensitive stomach and only eats a small amount at a time.
Thanks for sharing this, Wendy!
Learned that cats like what they like. Its not a one size fits all type of thing with cats. My cat hates fruits but likes chicken, beef, fish and dry foods. She's a picky eater so she only eats what she likes. It takes time to learn what your cats will like and some cats can control how they eat. My cat has taught herself to eat twice a day and if still hungry she comes to me when she feels like it. All cats are different. Just feed them healthy meals and they'll figure it out.
Yes!! Because after all, we're just their servants. ;) thanks for sharing this, Sharon.
I've raised cats from neo-natal to end of life, and one to two times daily is sufficient
Yes, this is correct. Too much would not be good. Have a good one!
Feeding raw has worked best for us. The raw is dehydrated with veg and fruit to round out what she eats. It’s not as easy to feed since it does require breaking up the nuggets and adding water to rehydrate the food, but she has done well on it and she’s a senior now.
Glad to hear feeding raw has worked for you, Athena! Also, great tips, thanks for sharing.
Hard work is necessary to make sure that your cat is happy and healthy, and especially if you'd do the same for a human.
Dry food causes Dehydration; I've had cats that will not drink water regularly. I will give my cat a little dry food sometimes but most often it's wet food.
As many times as they want!
But not too much! We as fur parent should be responsible.
What I do is divide my cat's food into several portions and put it in different parts of the house. That way they get to eat and move around.
I feed her 2 times per day at 8 o'clock in the morning and at 8 in the night. I also give her only wet food. Becouse Cleo drink whery little water I mix her wet food with some water and a couple drops of fish oil.
Cleo is so luck to have you, Ratiu. Have a good one!
I like to leave fresh dry food for my fur babies so they have the luxury of snacking when they want since they don`t live a regular out door life. I did have one that turned into a little porker that way but ahh. The fur baby I have now does well that way she is just a few ounces over weight at 7 yrs old. But that may be due to the fact she does not like canned food or people food. My vet used to ask me every visit if I feed them canned food and when I said I did he would grill me for giving them canned food saying it was bad for them finally I got tired of the grilling and told him how would you like to only eat cereal only your whole life he did`nt say a word and that was the last grilling from him.
Thanks for sharing this, gun fisher!!
my cat was found under a house with all of his siamese siblings. he eats everything lol. if i left food out he would be obese 😂😂😂😂
My cat has hyperthyroidism. She's a nightmare as she cries for food constantly. I've changed her diet from wet cat food to chicken, minced beef, liver and kidney and I feed her small portions but often. Dry cat food I use as a treat
I feed my cat raw once a day and he has a bowl of dry food he eats it when he's hungry the bowl of dry food lasts about 2days.
I used to feed feral cats ,some liked chunks some liked soft food ,some prefer chicken and some fish freshly steamed,I gave them what they liked
Thanks for sharing this, Suminthra!
I learned so much from the video I give my cat a half of a can of cat food every morning and also hard food that is healthy weight food and he does not have any hairballs anymore and he will be seven in february
No worries, Heather! Wow, that's nice to hear! Advanced 7th birthday to him xx
i give my cat a 1/4 cup of dry food in the morning with warm water and then i give him a can of fancy feast in the evening. if i followed the instructions i would have to feed him 4 cans of fancy feast or a cup of dry food but he would be so fat. hes already a big cat but weighs 10 pounds. 😻
Love it, thanks for sharing Aaron!
@@kittenmunch okay i lied and gave him his organic duck treats 😭😭😇
@@itsaaronlolz Soon he'll be so big you can't carry him anymore! Everything in moderation.
Some certain breeds are big like maincoons but 10Lbs is a good average weight. When in doubt check w/your vet
My cats have access to food 24/7
Your cats' lucky to have u then!
Mine get 1 can each before I leave for work and 1 can each when I return. Treats every now and then.
My six cats are very very big eaters. I am reducing dry food which one of them, 22 pound in weight, seems to be addicted to. I am now giving her more wet food than dry to see if her weight will decrease. I am also going to put her on a cooked chicken diet. She wld be so much more comfortable with less weight.
Actually I have 4 cats and 2 dogs I put their foods on bowl every morning they just eat as much as they need they don't over eat just teach them from the beginning they will learn to control their needs.
Now I understand, thanks 🙏🙇
Glad it was helpful!
I manage food portions in order to avoid my 🐱 leaving food in her plate so her food never gets stale.
Great tip, Lionel. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, my cat has his own feeder on a timer, so he gets fed 5 times per day, every 4½-5 hours, so he gets his intake spread out, and his stomach never gets completely empty, as he was starving in the wild for the first 2 years of his life and gets absolutely desperate for food, if its any longer than 5 hours.
I can not afford a vet, so thank you for these informative videos.
No worries! But its better to always checl with your vet if unsure. Hope this helps, have a good one!
I have a tank with a feed dish attached to it. It's there when my cat wants it.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing, Patrick!
My cat gets two meals per day and one snack midafternoon. I have filtered water fountain which they drink at.
Cats are generally grazers, if they do not wolf their food down, food should be left down . I give them wet twice a day and their dry food is always available. My diabetic cat eats about a cup of dry in a 24 hour period with tuna for breakfast and dinner mixed with a small amount of her dry food
Thanks for sharing, Lorraine!
I do this with the stray cats that I feed a few have made it past 17 years old.
@@barronridge5613 Thanks for sharing this!
Actually cats are NOT “general grazers”. Cows, & horses are grazers but not cats, & neither are dogs. To classify an animal as a grazer means they are almost constantly eating all day, only taking a break to sleep, or when a human takes them away for an activity. Cats aren’t like this. A cup of kibble in a 24 hr period plus extra food is too much for a daily kitty intake, unless of course your kitty is over 20 pounds and is deemed a healthy weight. An adult cat that weighs 15-17 pounds should only be getting a total of 2/3 to 3/4 cups of kibble per day. Less kibble on days kitty is getting wet food
Oops, adopted a 2 year old cat 6 months ago.
She is spoiled to include dry science diet, wet food, Boars Head low sodium chicken, turkey, and chicken.
In addition diluted heavy cream, treats, and the occasional catty bag.
And, of course a lot of water.
I have to get better.
You will be! :) She's lucky to have u as a parent.
Thanks for the infomercial
No worries, John! Have a good one.
Dry food is NOT as healthy as wet food. People... dig DEEP... cats are carnivores. Not veggie eaters. This video has much misinformation.
Thanks for these thoughts, Ron. Sure, dry food may not be 100% as healthy as wet food, but it also has its pros, and it is more economical to some, and it's a great alternative for non wet-eater cats. On the contrary, cats are Hypercarnivores, meaning, 70% of what they eat and should eat is meat. Some cats do enjoy some fruits and veggies but should only be fed small portions only.
When cats eat prey, like birds, they also eat the contents of their stomachs, which contain fruits & veggies.
I have had cats all my life fresh food as in chicken,meat,liver are best it helps your cats teeth,and cats are so much healthier.I have taken in cats that other people fed dried food it’s costing me thousands on medication for diabetes,radiation for hyperthyroidism,then medication for life for-low thyroid hormones .I really wish people would use wet food unless you want to end up with sick cats that people like me end up taking off you.
I use wet & dry. Dry food has benefits as well. Especially for their teeth. I've had cats most of my life, and they've all lived long, healthy lives 😻
@@LuvScorpio same here. My girl Chloe is 1 years old and she likes both. I have 3 bowls out on her matt and 1 has water and the 2nd one has wet food and the 3rd has dry. My girl never eats all her food. She always leaves food in her bowls. But she is happy and healthy and playful and that’s all that matters ❤
How much food per serving for a 2yr old male cat weighing 9lbs
I disagree with so much of the ‘information’ in this video. Cats need 100% protein, dry food only is not recommended as it will not result in optimum health and will not be enjoyable for the cat. A varied high quality wet food diet is best. Cats generally know what they need and do not enjoy the same food twice in a row. You must never leave water near their food as they are unlikely to drink as much as they should, this is an evolutionary trait as water can be contaminated by food. Raw food is good (bones) is great for their teeth and salmon, roast chicken, steak etc is packed full of the protein that they need. I have had many cats (for over 40 years) and I have always fed my cats this way. I leave high quality dry food out for them all day and feed them good human grade protein whenever they want it. My cats live an indoor/outdoor life in the hills on a large property so sometimes they get takeout and sometimes they come in for a la carte dining…sometimes the takeout makes it inside but that is another story…this video basically focuses on obesity, however if you feed your cat the protein that it needs, allow it to be a ‘proper’ cat and educate yourself about foods that are dangerous for them to eat, then it really is pretty simple. Also, cats are lactose intolerant so although they may love the taste and texture of all of these foods, they are not good for them.
When I said 100% protein, I obviously realise that these foods are made up of other vitamins and minerals as well. Cats require more protein than dogs etc as their digestion requires it as well as the constant rebuilding of their muscles. Cats have the shortest digestive tract to body size ratio of any mammal, therefore the juices are just not present to break down plant based material.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Max. Much appreciated! Have a good one!
My kitten is going to be 4 months, how many grams should i feed my kitten?
My cats are on free demand.
And are perfectly healthy.
You feed them every time they say "mama, I hungrey". Silly people.
Soooo......always lol
My cats I got 5 of them are obesity they kept on eating hard food over and over and over again until one night I decided to put wet food and dry food in the same bowl and I noticed that they got full and stop trying to eat very often and they're losing weight too
Thanks for sharing this!
@@kittenmunch You're welcome
Cat is not a dog. Their stomachs don't expand enough to hold in lots of food - which is why feeding a cat once or even twice a day is not enough - no matter the stege in their lifes! The bare minimum for adult is 3 times per day. 5 times is actually the optimal ammount.
You keep them from being obese by looking at how much they eat, not how often.
Then again - if your cats are healthy and don't need any special diet, you can teach them to eat dry food and keep it out 24/7. Most will learn that there is no need to eat everything in one sitting.
Sure, dry food is not as healthy as wet food, but there is only so much you can do when you don't have enough time to properly feed your cats. I always supplement the dry food with wet twice a day.
As a vetenary technican I beg of you - do not feed your cat only 1-2 times per day! You will hurt them this way!!!
What are the fruits and veggies that are toxic?
Don't wait "several" days to get to the vet if your cat isn't eating. They can develop dangerous liver problems quite quickly this way.
Yes. Going to the vet asap when this happens is no brainer. Thanks for sharing!
My cat and dogs have food all day. They are not fat.
😍
Feeding a cat once a day is negligence. I dont care what she says. I have two cats and there is no way it would be enough. Also, it isnt true that leaving food around for them to eat results in obesity. Not in every case. My two have all the food they want and have never been overweight. They naturally regulate their appetite as they arent desperate to wolf it down before its gone. They can take their time.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
How many Whiskas Wet pouch should i feed my Himalayan Cat? She's 1Year+

Thanks for sharing this!
Dry food is a lot better than wet food, and more healthy for them!!! Dry cat food is a lot better for there teeth!!! I leave a bowl of cat food out all day for my cat!!! She gets a tablespoon of wet cat 🐈 food in the morning!!! She also gets clean filtered water every day!!! She has no health problems at all!!!
Thanks for sharing this Michael!!
They should be grateful that we are feeding them.
Actually, it's the other way around. Cats think you should be grateful for feeding them :p
Just give them food. Don't worry about how often. Make sure the dish has food in it. They will eat when they are hungry, and if they aren't stressed about if they will get food or not, they won't eat until they're overweight.
Thanks for sharing, Cherie!
@cherieo’dell All cats are different. You can’t just fill a dish and leave it & have the same outcome for all cats. I have 3 cats that live with me that are proof of this. My female Hally, I left her alone overnight. I left her with enough kibble for 2 days just in case my brother-in-law’s car broke down. I got home about 20 hours later & there wasn’t one piece of kibble left in the bowl. Then there’s my kitty Zorro, he eats so fast that his brain doesn’t have time to single to his stomach that he’s full & he’ll just keep eating if it’s there. Then within 5-10 mins of him eating he’s throwing up the excess food. Portioning his daily food intake into 3 daily meals keeps him full & keeps me from cleaning up puke multiple times a day. Lastly there’s Mr. Thor, some days he eats good and other days he barely eats at all. By meal feeding him like I do with my other 2 cats I get the comfort of knowing that he did eat something. He’s a very sensitive kitty so if there’s too much noise out, if I’m not home, or if there’s any other distraction or disruption to his daily routine he’ll eat very little or not at all.
@@hallykat6402 My cat is the same. He overeats if you don't portion and he can throw it up if he binges.
Cats will usually only ever eat what they want.
Depends really. Some are really picky eaters.
All cats are picky. My cat eats a half can of wet food, he prefers Farmina dry food so I give him 2 chura cat tube treats, he drinks water, no problem so I don’t worry. He eats when he’s hungry
My cat won't touch wet/moist food ..only dry kibbles
Some cats do really prefer dry kibbles only. When she/he gets old, slowy transition him/her to wet cat food.
I just leave food in his bowl and he eats whenever.
Thanks for sharing, Chad!
I feed a 6 month old cat three times a day and he acts like he’s dying 🙄soo extra I was told he needs to be fed twice a day I wonder how he will handle this 😂😂😂
I feed my Cat real food , turkey ,chicken , & warm Corn beef hash , i decided Not to give him .. Cat food .. It cause more health issues For them . Cats can out survive a HUMAN if Giving Each an Equal opportunity
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I put water in my cat's dry food to hydrate him
For cats who prefer a bit of a wet texture, this is a good tip. Thanks, Ruz!
Recently I found out my cat is allergic to fish and possibly chicken. I'm devastated because he really loved his mackerel and chicken wet food. He's very picky too so I'm pretty anxious with his diet change, currently I'm slowly introducing him to dry food that don't have those 2 ingredients. He seems to enjoy the kibbles so far and he stops scratching and biting himself so that's a good sign? Idk the point of this comment but I need to let it out of my system.
This is WRONG!!
For the last 63 years I've exclusively done free feeding with every cat I've owned. Never ever have I had an overweight cat.
Cats snack during the day and at night. They aren't like dogs.
My cat wont eat wet food,only kibble .
It's okay! This is normal especially for young cats. When they grow much older, slowly transition them wet food.
Lucky
One of my cats prefers dry, the other prefers wet. I think cats have different preferences just like humans. I like crunchy foods where as my sister like mushy food! As long as we both eat my mum doesn't care haha
@@cfatv-gp4ye yes!!! Some also prefer a mix of both. It all comes down to preference. Have a good one!
Beware of feeding fish/seafood to your cats as it can cause issues with their bladders & urinary tracts.
Moderation is always key. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I feed my cat too much food 😮
Try to feed him/her just the right amount.
Y’all cats are scheduled animals. They need a schedule, DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OUT!
Cats are either male or female not things that you call it's, it's either he or she or him or her or his or hers, no one in this world has the right to call a cat or any other animal out there and it or a thing or anything else that's not their name or gender and giving ourselves that right show's how seriously messed up we humans are and doing whatever we want to them like playing jokes on them to get a laugh and to see their reaction, and letting kids of every size age height do whatever they want to them, people with kids or guests needs to teach them or explain to them how to approach their cat's or other pet family members,, you usually let them approach you and be kind to them verbally mentally and physically like people treat human babies that they have so much love and affection and care for, that's how you treat an animal, not however the hell you want.
Thanks for sharing this, Elizabeth!
@@rdns263 It's okay, no worries. Some owners are really just passionate.. Have a good one!
My cat has asked us to use the pronoun “it” when referring to it. We are living in a new, strange, world.
commercial cat food is shit! cats are carnivores! raw diet is best for them.have your vet guide you with raw feeding and be sure you have a holistic vet. Most vets have no idea about nutrition for your cat or dog
I want my cat to be obese I want him fat
As much as cute as it may seem, too much is not good also.
Promoting dry food, dislike and bye!
