Feeding

We are huge supporters of raw diet. And even though our cats do get some dry food, about half of their diet consists of raw meat. Currently we are using Bravo! Original Turkey or Chicken Blend.

We've had a good luck with this type of diet. And we'd suggest to keep up with raw feeding (maybe even transferring your cats onto raw-only diet, because it is the most appropriate diet for cats that are carnivores by nature).
The initial cost of species-appropriate food (raw or no-grain dry food) may seem a bit higher, but the benefits of good nutrition (a healthier animal, lower veterinary bills, etc.) far outweigh the small price difference.

If you would like to learn more about benefits of raw diet, please see links to good books that we recommend for reading on the bottom of this page.

Use a clean bowl for each meal, and put fresh water down at least once a day. The bowls should be as clean as those you would use for yourself. Dirt, dust, and hair will collect in the bowls during the day - you wouldn't want to eat or drink dirty food or water, and you shouldn't want your kitten to, either. Buy yourself some inexpensive bowls that you like that are just for the cat. The bowls should be ceramic or stainless steel, never plastic. Plastic can harbor bacteria and hold oils, which can cause feline acne. Ceramic and stainless steel bowls can be cleaned much better - bacteria loves cat food and water dishes. Clean cats are most likely to be healthy cats!
