Our little Ragdoll is fourteen weeks now and the Vet. mentioned last week that she was in excellent condition. Her well being is our concern, her health and nutrition is most important to us.
Of course I'm not alone in stating information and advice regarding nutrition is nothing short of a minefield ! So many different opinions from Vet's and lay persons. At this time we are feeding her Evanger's canned food which she appears to really like ( especially the rabbit and the pheasant ).
We are quite keen on the Evanger's products as they do not contain grain or meat by-products. The following notice was on the can, " This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. It makes an excellent mixer with Evanger's canned vegetable dinner or Evanger's dry foods ".
So now we are unsure as to where we are at as far as Henrietta's diet is concerned ,,, should we be using supplements ? if so which kind ?.
Our Vet sells only Hill's " Science Diet " which by the way states one of the primary ingredients as " meat by-products " thanks but no thanks, I'm well educated from a first hand experience as to what " meat by-products " consist of.
We mix about a tablespoonful of high quality kitten kibble in with her wet food and supply her with plenty of filtered water. I've certainly read a great deal about the raw diet for cats but I'm not quite sure if we really want to change to that but that could be a possibility.
I have access to high quality meat and fish products and I have thought about making my own cat food for her but again I'm not quite sure how to go about things at this time.
I defrost a large frozen raw prawn and cut that up for her ,,, that's her daily treat and she just loves that.
