Cats may be easy to love, but they’re not quite as easy to care for. They have specific needs in order to live a long, happy and healthy life. Here is a basic overview of how to care for a cat’s health so let’s get started:

  1. Choosing the Right Diet for Your Cat –Cats are carnivores, that means they should have some source of animal protein and fat. The animal source can be in the form of beef, poultry, chicken, turkey, fish or other meats.

In conjunction with this, cats need nutrients such as Protein, Fats, Fibers, Water, Carbohydrates to keep them healthy. The right diet builds up the immune system and makes the cat’s body inhospitable to germs causing health problems.

  • Eating habits
  • Elimination habits
  • Normal Gait
  • Grooming habits
  • Sociability

If you suspect to find changes in any of these listed symptoms for more than 12 hours then rush quickly to your vet.
