1327725980 98 Instinctive Choice Cat Food

Usually, I don’t like to name names when people ask, “What is the best pet food?” What works best for one pet will give another one tummy problems, and still another one won’t even touch it. As I emphasize frequently, variety is extremely important for our cats and dogs. Feeding the same food year in and year out is a good way to create food intolerances and allergies, as well as finicky behavior; and it puts pets at risk for serious deficiencies or excesses. One cat rescue that fed only Wellness canned food had many cats get sick, and several die, due to the lack of thiamine in food that was later recalled. (For more info on why variety is so important and how to get your cat to eat different foods, see our article on Switching Foods.)

The very best diet you can feed your cat is a properly balanced, species-specific, raw homemade diet using fresh, organic foods; and secondarily, a commercially made, nutritionally complete raw diet. That said, I recognize the reality that a lot of people are just not able to do that for a variety of reasons. Canned food is the most practical and do-able way for many folks.

Now, I do publish a complete list of “Dr Jean’s approved brands” in my ebook, What Cats Should Eat: How to Keep Your Cat Healthy with Good Food, which I update frequently. (In fact I need to add two more foods to the list today, even though I just revised the whole thing last Friday!) But if you don’t want to buy the ebook (even though it’s on sale right now, hint hint!), I will, just this once, tell you about my favorite canned cat food!

Life’s Abundance pet foods are formulated by Dr. Jane Bicks, a fellow veterinarian and long-time friend. I gave Dr. Jane no end of hassle for years, until she finally came out with a canned cat food: Instinctive Choice. This is absolutely the highest quality, lowest-carb, cat-friendliest canned food available anywhere. Cats love it, and it has saved many lives when kitties wouldn’t eat anything else.

A few years ago, my youngest cat, Sundance (now 10), developed a life-threatening condition called idiopathic hypercalcemia. He would sniff at food but then not eat it; so he was losing weight fast. As it turned out, Instinctive Choice was the only food he would eat, and it helped him to get “back on his paws.” Now of course he was getting holistic treatment with homeopathy, acupressure, Reiki, etc.; but without “good groceries,” the body can’t heal!

Let me say that again, because it is such a crucial concept: No matter what remedies or supplements or therapies we give our cats, nutrition is still the foundation of it all. If that foundation is weak or crumbling, it must be repaired, and the only way to do that is with healthy, wholesome food. For cats, Instinctive Choice makes a good solid brick for that foundation.

Instinctive Choice can be ordered directly from Life’s Abundance; click on the order button to visit their website; or keep reading for more information about this food.

What is not in Instinctive Choice

  • Instinctive Choice does not contain fruits (such as cranberries or apples), vegetables (such as sweets potatoes or carrots) or grains (such as wheat, barley, corn or oats). Cats are metabolically adapted to use protein and fat as energy sources and they have no metabolic need for carbohydrates. Most domestic cats, however, need a little fiber because their digestive tracts are used to getting it. Guar gum is an excellent source of fiber.
  • Instinctive Choice does NOT contain corn or corn gluten, wheat or wheat gluten, artificial colors or artificial preservatives.

What is in Instinctive Choice and why is it better?

(You will be taken to the Life’s Abundance website to order.)

Much as I love this food, and as well it can serve as the foundation of your cat’s diet; variety is still critically important, so please incorporate other wholesome, natural brands in your rotation.

Catster Original Video: What to Do with the Feline Food Thieves in Your Home

Catster Original Video: What to Do with the Feline Food Thieves in Your Home

This week’s question is from Catster reader Barbara. Barbara writes:

Hello, Sarah! I have three adult cats and just adopted an eight-week-old kitten. My cats used to have their dry food sitting out all day, and now that we added a kitten they are eating each other’s food. The kitten is eating the adult food and the adults are eating the kitten food. What are your suggestions?

Being a foster mom, I totally sympathize with this question. Feeding time is a frenzy with multiple cats, and it’s easy to just fill a giant bowl and let them have at it! For a good portion of the year, I have kittens who need to be fed their awesome wet meats and cats who need to be fed their nonfat, biodynamic, cage-free, naturally-fallen-from-the-vine kibbles.

Also, if the bowl ever goes empty, my adult cat Rory will binge and purge (repeatedly) when I refill it. There is plenty to be said about what feeding habits are best, and I think you should tailor your cat’s dietary needs with your budget. I am an artist and all about the low-cost solution!

Aside from the suggestions in the song, you might also try elevating adult food to a table or counter that the kittens cannot reach. Perhaps feed the kittens in the bathtub. I like to do that if they are very small and haven’t learned to keep their paws out of the wet meats. Instead of cleaning the floor, I just take a shower!

This Week’s Lyrics:

Segregate the KittiesBy Sarah Donner

If you have a kitten who wants to eat foodYou’ve got a grown cat who wants it tooTry feeding them inside separate rooms

Put kitten kibble inside a crateOpen the door, only halfwayJust big enough so kitten can fitYou might need to jury-rig it

Separate the dishes, you could elevate the foodFor your overweight kitty, that’s what I would doIt’s hard to be consistent and to separateBut to keep your kitties healthyYou’ve got to segregate

It’s hard to say no to the ones that we loveEspecially the ones who are covered in fuzzBut fen-phen and Slimfast are not options

Wet food or dry food, talk to your vet(That’s another song, so I won’t get into it)Controlled portions are your best bet

Separate the dishes, you could elevate the foodFor your overweight kitty, that’s what I would doIt’s hard to be consistent and to separateBut to keep your kitties healthyYou’ve got to segregate

From the FWC: Feral cats a threat to wildlife

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin

1327719967 40 From the FWC: Feral cats a threat to wildlife

It’s fair to say Americans love their house cats. Although no one knows how many house cats Americans own, it’s in the millions.

However, the practice by some of releasing unwanted cats outdoors under a trap-neuter-release (TNR) program is under increased scrutiny as some communities and businesses have banned the practice.

Cat advocacy groups say in theory feral cats that are spayed or neutered and let go in TNR areas can’t reproduce and the colonies will die out over time. They say this is a better alternative to euthanasia of unwanted cats.

What the advocacy groups don’t say is feral cats are one of the top carriers of rabies, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Unvaccinated feral cats can pass the highly contagious disease from cat to cat, and maybe a link in the transmission of rabies to wildlife such as fox and raccoons.

Feral cats can also transmit feline leukemia to house pets and other feral cats and carry the feline panleucopenia virus. The disease has been passed to bobcats and even to endangered panthers in south Florida, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

Wildlife advocates say feral cats, as well as house cats allowed to run loose, prey on native birds, small mammals and even some reptiles. The American Bird Conservancy, one of the largest bird conservation groups in the United States, has repeatedly called for responsible pet ownership and opposes TNR programs that promote feral cat colonies. The group says millions of song birds and other wildlife are killed by outdoor cats every year.

In 2003 the FWC agreed that feral cats pose a serious threat to native birds and other wildlife. The agency adopted a policy for feral cats on state lands, which called for education about the issues, community outreach to discourage the feeding and maintenance of feral cat colonies, and partnerships with animal shelters.

Cat rescue groups say there’s a lack of hard evidence to support the claims of wildlife losses due to feral and free-roaming cats. Instead, they point to construction and development and the loss of wildlife habitat, pollution and even predation

How can top dogs nab the best cat classes? My only regret is missing out on it and chat ordinarily needs spending somewhat more than you would for some position. This is where questions covering a wide variety of topics on their susceptibility are answered. Then there are newcomers who just use cats for adoption for most of their needs. What a bunch of B.S! Just can? JMET 2012, IRMA 2011, ATMA 2011, MICAT 2012 and IBSAT 2011 will follow. Over the decades, there have been all kinds of different snowshoe cat types. Take off all meat and skin from bones while still warm. Many devotees must know how can I spend time on that banality and it could do a lot better. It's almost like my combination was plucked from nowhere. Thanks towards internet Post found these kinds of coupons!

URI is known as the kitty ‘cold’

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin

1327715170 30 URI is known as the kitty ‘cold’

As a new year begins, we in the feral cat “business” are alreadylooking ahead at what the coming kitten season will bring. 2011 wasa difficult year, full of the usual drop offs of unwanted kittenson our doorsteps, many of them ill with chronic URI (upperrespiratory infection). URI is the generic term used for any viralor bacterial infection causing cold-like symptoms in a cat.

Kittens either came to us sick or developed symptoms while incrowded foster homes. URIs are highly contagious (to other catsonly), so treatment must be quick in order to prevent full-fledgedoutbreaks within multi-cat households. Each year local shelters andrescue groups temporarily have to close their doors due to thepresence of these and other contagions.

An added dilemma is that a symptomatic animal is not a surgicalcandidate for spay/neuter and remains in foster until well,sometimes several extra weeks. This can result in a kitten missingthe optimum adoption window of eight to 10 weeks of age.

Cats will not eat or drink if they are unable to smell, so a youngone which is sneezing and sporting a stuffy nose may soon languishand die. The death rate among kittens can be nearly 50 percent andis a slow, agonizing way to go.

One common “cold” we see is caused by the herpe svirus whichattacks the eyes along with the sinuses. Unless treated quickly andthoroughly, this virulent disease can claim the sight bymanifesting in severe corneal ulcers which subsequently rupture,taking the eye with it.

Once infected, the animal becomes a carrier for life and can infectother feline household members through shared grooming andfood/water dishes. The most contagious period is when sneezing andcoughing are present, and any cat showing these symptoms shouldimmediately be isolated.

Symptoms often lie dormant until stress stirs them into action andaccounts for a normally healthy indoor cat suddenly catching a”cold.” If this happens in your own home, think back to possibletriggers and offer some extra love and attention and L-lysine (anamino acid) in the food until the disease is once again incheck.

Although sometimes a tough disease to knock down, the herpesviruscan be effectively controlled by adding L-lysine daily to yourpet’s wet food during times of obvious symptoms. It may also workas an immune-booster so can be safely given to all feline membersin the home. L-lysine capsules can be easily found at health foodstores and at Wal Mart in tablet form. Wherever you buy it, readthe label. Do not purchase any product which contains any “glycol”ingredient, which is toxic to cats. Dosage is 250-500 mg per dayfor kittens, 500-1,000 mg for adults.

If the URI symptoms are severe enough to cause your cat to refusefood due to mucus buildup in the sinuses, a single drop of AfrinChildren’s Strength Nose Drops (.025 percent oxymetazolinehydrochloride) can be administered to one nostril per day. Use nolonger than five days in a row, switching nostrils for eachdrop.

Don’t panic at a first sneeze as it may just be dust, but do watchfor signs of eye-weeping and lethargy. Most importantly, if yourcat has a fever, becomes dehydrated and stops eating, a trip to theveterinarian is essential. There may be a secondary bacterialinfection present requiring prescribed antibiotics and IVfluids.

Wishing all my two- and four-legged friends a very healthy andHappy New Year.

Fix Your Pets

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin

1327711568 99 Fix Your Pets

You might think that spaying and neutering your pet is common sense now that we’ve entered 2012. After all, Bob Barker preached it at the end of every Price is Right for 35 years. Unfortunately, though, spaying and neutering has yet to become conventional wisdom. According to a national survey published in the USA Today recently, nearly half of people who have acquired unsterilized pets in the last year haven’t had them spayed or neutered. Surprisingly, those under 35 are the least likely to sterilize their pets. PetSmart Charities conducted the survey, in an effort to understand what factors are contributing to pet overpopulation where an estimated 4-6 million shelter animals are euthanized every year in the United States alone. Obviously, ignorance is part of the problem as 62 percent of the 18-34 year olds surveyed thought less than one million shelter animals were euthanized each year and a staggering 28 percent thought 100,000 or less were euthanized. If you think getting your pet spayed or neutered isn’t a priority, there are millions of homeless shelter animals who would like to respectfully disagree with you.

Even those pet owners who are thinking of spaying and neutering are confused about when to have the procedure done. Among survey respondents who had recently acquired a pet, 17 percent said they had no idea of the proper age to spay/neuter; 42 percent said 6 months; 14% said at least 9 months. Since pets can become pregnant when they’re just 6 months old, many vets recommend 4 or 5 months as the proper age. But according to the USA Today, through motivation by animal welfare advocates who want puppies and kittens sterilized before they go into adopters’ homes, a growing number of veterinarians are starting to believe two months is a good age to spay or neuter.

Every single puppy and kitten born contributes to the overpopulation problem. Even when pet owners have “found homes” for an entire litter, each of those animals deprives a dog or cat waiting patiently in a shelter from finding a loving home. Purebreds are no exception. Studies have shown that close to 25 percent of animals in shelters are purebred dogs and cats.

Consider these statistics: According to the Humane Society of the United States, a single unspayed female cat, her mate and their offspring are capable of producing a total of 420,000 kittens in just seven years. In six years, one unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies. This results in the euthanasia of millions of homeless pets.

In Los Angeles alone, according to the L.A. Times, 54,129 dogs and cats were impounded in 2009. Almost a quarter of the dogs and more than half the cats taken to the city’s six shelters had to be put to sleep, for untreatable illness, intractable behavior, or lack of space. A staggering 4,930 were neonatal animals that could not be kept alive without bottle feeding or a nursing mother. Most of those were kittens.

I’ve heard people ask: “Won’t we run out of pets if all animals are spayed and neutered?” And here’s the answer: according to experts, each day in the U.S., 70,000 puppies and kittens are born – seven times the number of humans born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. Given the fact we can’t spay and neuter all animals, there’s no chance of running out of pets anytime soon.

Aside from spaying or neutering your pet to help with the overpopulation crisis, spaying and neutering has both medical and behavioral benefits for your dog and cat. Neutering male dogs and cats make them less likely to fight with other males or mark their territory and it virtually eliminates the risk of testicular tumors or prostate problems. Spaying female dogs and cats greatly reduces their chances of developing mammary, ovarian, or uterine cancers. Spayed and neutered pets are also less likely to try to get out of the yard to find mates. Each year, thousands of roaming animals in search of mates become lost or are hit by cars, resulting in needless suffering or death.

Spaying and neutering isn’t just for dogs and cats. Rabbits reproduce faster than dogs or cats and often end up in shelters where they must be euthanized. Spaying or neutering rabbits can reduce hormone-driven behavior such as lunging, mounting, and spraying. Spaying female rabbits can also prevent ovarian, mammary, and uterine cancers, which can be common in mature females.

As tremendous as the problem of pet overpopulation is, it can be solved if each of us takes just one small step, starting with not allowing our animals to breed. Please have your pet spayed or neutered.

Adoptable Pet of the Week

Cat is one of the most popular adopting a cat kinds out there recently. I'll bet you're wondering "What's the catch?" Or, perhaps not so much. You're not seeing the results that you need. Okay, okay! How do their admirers grab desirable chat tutorials? A good pet food must support brain development and a healthy digestive system, reducing problems like diarrhea in kittens transitioning from mother's milk. It is almost too tremendous to be true when so far so good… except… I also have several add-ons as well to it. Cat hair attracts all kinds of other smaller pollutants such as household dust, dust mites, pollen, and dander, all of which cause huge problems for anyone with allergies and asthma, and can even cause respiratory problems for those who were previously healthy. If your cat is also breastfeeding, then she will also need more water. A very sad situation which could have easily been avoided. Google Origin: American Meaning: A trademark used for an Internet search engine. Perhaps that was a bad example, but I'm sure it all sounds like a pain. If so, this male cat name may be perfect for him. What's more, I won't tell you how to use cat as long as it was restrictive.

Feral cats avoid contact with humans

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin

1327710370 46 Feral cats avoid contact with humans

What is the difference between a stray cat and a feral cat? -Samantha

Dear Samantha: A stray cat is a socialized pet that has been living with people, and then be-comes lost or is abandoned by its owners, to live as best it can on the streets. Being born into a family of humans means these cats and kittens have little to no knowledge of how to survive out-side by themselves and many die from starvation, exposure to the elements or of injuries from cars or dogs and coyotes who get hold of them.

A feral cat is a wild cat. Feral cats fear and avoid interaction with humans and live in com-munities throughout Calgary.

Feral cats are the product of irresponsible human behaviour. Un-altered cats are allowed to roam freely and others are callously abandoned when they become inconvenient. The offspring of these cats have little or no human contact. Feral cats are very difficult to socialize and the process can take months to years, and some feral cats will never become socialized. The vast majority (98 per cent) of adopters consider feral background cats unadoptable. Adopters, in general, want to adopt well-socialized domestic cats and kittens.

MEOW Foundation’s specific role in the Calgary area is to res-cue both stray and feral cats from the streets of Calgary. Stray cats and kittens who are socialized are given a vet examination, two sets of vaccinations and their spay or neuter surgery, then adopted into permanent homes. Feral cats and kittens are given the same services then returned to a secure outdoor home with a dedicated caregiver.

This program for the ferals is called our Trap Neuter Return program. TNR is an integral element of MEOW’s vision for a no-kill Calgary for all cats. TNR will support our community of feral cats and it will play a key role in eliminating euthanasia as a management strategy for feral cats.

If Calgarians support TNR by becoming caregivers in their com-munities, feral cat populations will stabilize.

If you are feeding feral or wild cats in your neighbourhood on a regular basis and are willing to continue as their neighbourhood guardian and caregiver, please e-mail: info@meowfoundation. com with the heading TNR Inquiry or phone 403-230-6033 and leave a voice-mail message on Line 4.

An intake representative will call you to discuss your situation.

Bathing a cat is important for keeping your cat healthy. They have an axe to grind. It is unlikely you'll remain indifferent to my depictions of chat. If your cat has a litter box problem, take it to a vet and get it examined for worms and urinary infections. Butler Meaning: The chief male servant of a household Tip: A great male cat name for a kitty who loves to play "fetch"(believe it or not, many cats do)! Other pets may be a better option such as dogs who you can walk on a lead. In my opinion, it was simple. The only advantage of getting a kitten is that kittens are cute. The concept is that you have to think of stuff differently. (Common names Palm Lily, Grass Palm).

The Community Voice – Shelter becomes a winter

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin

1327709169 46 The Community Voice Shelter becomes a winter By Mickey Zeldes  January 5, 2012 01:19 pm

You don’t normally think of baby animals this time of year. Most critters wait until spring to have their young. To me, this shift in nature’s rhythm is the most compelling evidence of global climate change. If you think about it, as recently as 10 years ago you wouldn’t be able to find a kitten for Christmas. Yet this holiday season, we not only had a shelter full, we had some so young, they had just reached the two-pound mark required so they can be altered and put up for adoption. That means, we still have kittens and it’s after New Year’s. Unbelievable.A few weeks ago, we had a small terrier/poodle dog surrendered with four newborn puppies. They had been in a foster home and just went up for adoption the week before Christmas. We don’t often have puppies (thank goodness) and small breeds are in demand right now, so they were lucky. They were truly adorable and didn’t last long – all were in their new homes for New Year’s, including the mom.In addition to puppies and kittens, we recently had three adult Guinea pigs with four babies brought in to us. If you’ve never seen newborn Guinea pigs, they are the cutest things ever. For a rodent, the guinea pig has a long gestation period (about nine to 10 weeks) so the young are born precocial – eyes open, fully furred and ready to go. They come out looking just like little mini-moms (or dads). They’ve also been in a foster home so they are fairly well socialized and handleable. They just recently became available for adoption, so come see just how adorable they are. But wait, that’s not all. In case you didn’t think kittens, puppies and guinea pigs were enough, we also have a pair of baby rats. It’s sad how often we get pregnant or nursing animals surrendered to us when their humans realize they are going to have more than one mouth to feed.With rats, the numbers can climb dramatically in just a few months. Think about it – rats come into season every five to six days and their gestation is just 21-24 days. Females can get pregnant again right after giving birth if the males are left with them. Consider that each litter can result in 10-12 offspring and those babies are ready to breed when they are just five weeks old. It would only take one pregnant rat and the mistake of not separating the young soon enough to see how quickly you could become overwhelmed.So our shelter has been turned into a nursery of sorts. Lots of baby animals, along with their parents, waiting for new homes. There’s nothing cuter than a furry baby to bring a smile and act as a de-stressor. Come on by to see them – you might just fall in love!Upcoming eventsPet First Aid & CPR class, Saturday, Jan. 14, 9 a.m.-noon. Cost is $60 and includes a reference book for home use (specify dog or cat book); $70 if you want both books. This three-hour class will cover CPR, Heimlich maneuver, obtaining vital signs, and more. Space is limited and registration will close on Jan. 11. Payment is required to reserve a spot, so stop by the shelter to sign up. Call 584-1582 for more information.Meet the Bunny, second Saturday of each month (Jan. 14) from 1-5:30 p.m. Meet our adoptable rabbits, ask care questions of our knowledgeable volunteers, and shop our bunny boutique for fresh hay, rabbit toys and accessories and some cute gifts for the bunny lovers on your shopping list.Mickey Zeldes is the supervisor at the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter. She can be contacted at .

Do I know it is in respect to cat? This is a long standing tradition. Don't that just butter your grits? tonkinese cats stores are making big changes this year. I guess they were concerned that the animal rights people would be on their butts if they staged a real fight, and I sure they were right about that. There are already several chat video clips up at YouTube and I expect this number to increase dramatically. Some people have heaps of cats, somewhat like a hoarder. How do your big shots fetch painless all cat breeds ways? This is taking "pain" out of processing; but this isn? Just that grouping of questions has changed. Read and listen to challenging material so that you will be exposed too many new words. Instead of the soft leather, he found himself looking at metal. But that doesn't mean we can't provide our favorite felines a place to romp, scratch, play, and lounge. Do you need to resign from appearing blue? A: Hi Ravi, You need to get as much practice you can. You might not believe that I'm the sharpest knife in the drawer. Many nonprofessionals agree with this however, you need boy cat names like there is no tomorrow. Though paintings of them have been found in ancient Egyptian art, their exact origins are unclear. We're crazy enough to mention cat in that context.

Minnesota Vikings: Offensive Base Is in Place Despite Adrian Peterson’s Injury

Posted on January 27, 2012 by admin

1327703180 22 Minnesota Vikings: Offensive Base Is in Place Despite Adrian Petersons Injury

The Minnesota Vikings couldn’t have had a much worse season in 2011. Even after the early season demise of Donovan McNabb and the franchise’s 3-13 record, things were still looking okay until Adrian Peterson suffered a severe knee injury that could affect his play for the rest of his career.

Peterson is the best running back in the NFL, largely due to his violent style. He runs more aggressively and with greater determination than any other back throughout all 32 franchises, punishing defenders more than they punish him.

His torn ACL is a severe injury that could have long-term effects on his level of play, but there are positives working in his favor.

Speaking from personal experience, having torn my own ACL in 2009, recovery from a torn ACL is determined by a couple of factors. Like all physical injuries, it is easier to recover with youth on your side. At 26, Peterson isn’t exactly a child but he is nowhere near too old to get back from this.

The other two factors are what will really make fans optimistic.

An ACL injury, factors in around nine months of rehab, generally, it is something that can be worked on repeatedly to get strengthen and prevent further injury while also returning to full health for the short-term. Peterson’s determination and work rate is unquestioned, the franchise will have no worries about him giving himself every possible chance to return to full fitness.

Finally, once fully recovered, Peterson can control the pressure that is put on his fixed ligament by building the strength around the knee. Greater quad and hamstring strength alleviates the strain on the knee. Last time I checked, Peterson’s strength in his quads, and basically all over his body, was almost the stuff of legends.

With Peterson returning to even 70 percent of his previous level of play, he will be more than a competent NFL running back.

What the Vikings need to do, is maintain the balance that is becoming their depth chart on offense. The talent of the Vikings’ offense isn’t overwhelming, but the pieces are in place for the team to excel next season.

Christian Ponder wasn’t Cam Newton as a rookie, but he was far from Ryan Leaf, playing in a difficult situation.

The Vikings offense was hurt by a lack of quality role players and offensive line play. Peterson was his usual dominant self, and Toby Gerhart proved to be a solid backup, but Percy Harvin had little threats around him as far as receivers go and the offensive line was average at best.

Kyle Rudolph proved himself to be a talented rookie, but wasn’t a constant piece of the offense, while Visanthe Shiancoe’s production fell for the fourth year running.

Rudolph should prove to be an important piece for Ponder, not only next season, but throughout his career as he has all the attributes of an elite two way tight end. His huge hands allow him to catch the ball like a receiver while his athleticism makes him a matchup nightmare and reliable blocker.

Percy Harvin proved himself capable of being a number one receiver after playing his first two seasons with talented receivers taking coverage away from him.

The Vikings’ biggest offensive need is at left tackle. If they can come away from the NFL draft with Matt Kalil, their offensive line will be in much better shape than last season. The other line positions can be filled with role players, but Charlie Johnson is definitely not the long-term solution in Minnesota protecting Ponder’s blindside.

While the Vikings’ defense does need a lot of work to be relevant once again, the offense can easily be fixed with only a few minor additions because of the cornerstones already in place.

Feeding Kittens : Feed your kittens the right diet.

Posted on January 27, 2012 by admin

Feeding Kittens The Right Diet In The Right Way.

When you adopt a kitten, or kittens, ideally they should be at least eight weeks old. Before this time they need to be with their mother who takes care of their nutritional needs.

Now those delightful little bundles of fluff are your responsibility.

A big part of that responsibility is of course, ensuring that the kittens are correctly fed.

But don’t worry, feeding kittens correctly is not too complicated, it is just a matter of following a few guidelines.

Kittens grow, grow and grow . . . fast. Plus, when they are not sleeping, which they do a lot, they are little energy burning powerhouses. They are here, there everywhere, exploring this, exploring that.

All this means that they need food which gives them plenty of protein, calories and fats. They also need their food to help them develop strong bones and healthy muscle.

Feeding Kittens What They Need.

Properly formulated kitten food supplies kittens with their needs. Cat food is formulated to supply the needs of adult cats. Feeding kittens adult cat food will not supply the nutritional requirements of kittens.

Being the tiny creatures that they are, kittens have tiny stomachs that cannot hold much food. When they are very young they need meals four or five times a day. As they age, this can be reduced to three meals a day, then when they are just about fully grown, to two meals a day. kittens eating 250x188 Feeding Kittens : Feed your kittens the right diet. It is time for the kittens to start weaning at around five weeks. Introduce them, very gradually, to solid food. Photo cc. Derrick @ flicr.

If possible, find out what your new kitten is used to eating (hopefully it will be kitten formula food,) continue to feed your kitten the same or similar.

If you feel the need to change, to a better brand for example, do so bit by bit mixing in a little of the new with the old. Abruptly changing your kitten’s diet could cause digestion problems.

There are experts that champion dry foods and experts that champion wet foods. Both have advantages and disadvantages.

One of the big advantages of dry kitten food (kibble) is that it can be left out for the kittens to graze on when they feel the need. With kittens, there is a slight danger however, that they may be tempted to overeat if food is there for them all the time.

It is often suggested that dry food helps keep kittens teeth clean and in good order. However, some experts say that there is little evidence for this.

Dry food obviously does not supply your kitten with any water. Water is essential for the health of kittens and cats. If you are feeding your kittens dry food it is vital that fresh water is available for them at all times.

Water should be always available for kittens eating wet food too, but they will be able to obtain a good deal of the moisture they need from the wet food.

Cats, and kittens, are natural carnivores, meat eaters. Wet kitten food (canned) will usually contain some meat. This can be as much as 95% for cans labeled “ Chicken Kitten Food” for example, to 25% for cans labeled “ Lamb Kitten Dinner.” Cans labeled “Chicken Flavor” may not contain any meat at all.

Check the label to find out how much meat the kitten food contains.

It is possible to feed your kittens a diet of both wet and dry food. Whatever you decide, the food must be kitten formula, feeding kittens anything else will not do.

Supplements are not necessary if your kittens are eating the right foods. Feeding kittens vitamin or mineral supplements when they don’t need them can actually do more harm than good. Only give supplements when prescribed by your veterinarian.

Feeding A Litter Of Newborn Kittens.

When it comes to feeding kittens that are new born, mom cat will take care of that, all being well, there is little for you to do.

But what if mom cat rejects one of her kittens, or even the whole litter? Sadly this does happen occasionally.

The mother cat didn’t exactly plan her pregnancy, the pregnancy was the result of cats doing what cats do. Usually the mothering instinct kicks in when the birth happens, mom takes care of her litter and feeds them, but it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes the mother cat can be coaxed into caring for a litter that she initially rejects.

It could just be that mom is not completely happy with her nest. Making her more comfortable could result in her starting to feed her kittens.

If one of the litter is born with a severe deformity, or is sick, it is likely to be rejected by the mother who will concentrate her efforts on the rest of the litter who are more likely to survive.

When a queen delivers a very large litter, she may not be able to produce sufficient milk for them. As long as all the kittens are getting some milk, you may only need to give them supplemental hand feeding.

For feeding kittens that have been rejected, follow the advice for raising and feeding orphaned kittens.

It is time for the kittens to start weaning at around five weeks. Introduce them, very gradually, to solid food. Offer them a little kitten formula food, dry or solid, mixed with cat milk replacement in a shallow dish. Gradually reduce the milk replacement until they are eating solid kitten food.

The kittens will still be suckling at mom’s nipples until around ten weeks. At this time she will likely decide that it is time they left her alone and she will not allow them to suckle.

Remember that mom cat’s food is important too. Nursing her litter will take a lot out of mom, so it is recommended to feed her kitten food because it contains more calories than adult cat food. She will need fresh water available at all times. (See Newborn Kitten Care. )

From Feeding Kittens To Feeding Adult Cats.

Some sources say you can start to feed your kitten adult food at around six months old if the kitten has reached adult weight. An adult can weigh in the region of eight to ten pounds depending on the breed, male cats are likely to weigh more than female cats. feeding kittens 250x182 Feeding Kittens : Feed your kittens the right diet. The kittens will still be suckling at mom’s nipples until around ten weeks.

A six month old kitten-cat may weigh something approaching it’s adult weight, but will likely still have a little growing left to do and is still very much kitten like in some of its behavior.

The six month kitten-cat will likely still need the extra protein, calories and fat she gets from kitten food because she is still burning up lots of energy.

It is for this reason that the ASPCA and most other authorities recommend waiting until the kitten-cat is twelve months old before switching to adult formula food.

As cats are individuals this figure is flexible of course. If your kitten is showing signs of being overweight, she can start to move to an adult cat diet and feeding schedule a little sooner. (If the weight of your kitten concerns you – especially if it seems underweight – seek the advice of your veterinarian.)

If you try suddenly feeding kittens adult formula food from kitten formula you may find they refuse it. Try mixing just a little adult food in with the kitten food they are used to, then gradually introduce more adult food until that is their complete diet.

As a kitten your feline enjoyed four or five meals a day. For an adult cat, two larger meals a day is the recommendation. Go from four to three to two.

Two more things about feeding kittens. A can of kitten food that has been opened should be kept in the refrigerator, but not for too long before being used. Kittens do not take to cold food however, so it should be warmed just a little. Do not be tempted to feed your kittens food that is meant for humans, it can be very harmful for them.
