When it comes to feeding your cats it is best to keep on
schedule because if cats are hungry and no food is available then they will get
grumpy, grouchy and pick fights with other cats. In short a hungry cat is not a patient cat.
Many of the rescued cats and kitten that I have taken in had
gone without meals and were starving.
These cats seemed overly anxious, and their behavior was aggressive with
each other as well as destructive behavior; scratching on sofa wood baseboards
and or rug and not their cat scratching post.
In addition cats will vomit when they are hungry. If you provide the cat with food then this
will calm them.
I recommend feeding
cats two meals a day. My schedule is
every 12 hours for my cats. Basically I
will mix Friskies special diet canned food with Goodlife chicken recipe kibble.
This food is made by Mars and contains no corn, soy or wheat. I will then add two tablespoons of water and
mix the food well. I will put the
portions for each cat in their food bowls and allow them all to eat. If any food is left over after a half hour I
will remove the food to prevent snacking as this is how cats tend to put on
weight.
When I stick to my feeding schedule then the cats all get
along and do not become grumpy or frantic.
**I found the cat food Goodlife “a thoughtful recipe by Mars”
at Walmart and in comparison to other wheat, corn and soy food this cat food is
moderately priced. My cats love this
food and I also feed the feral cats this food.
Unlike the other brands this food is priced right. Mycats eat less, and food does control
hairballs.
