RECIPES FOR HEALTHY KITTIES ....!
Some recipes to keep your fussy and perhaps a bit overweight kitties healthy and fit!
Cats are designed by nature so they can eat their prey raw. So in the wild felines will eat mice, birds, lizards and other prey animals raw as no will do the cooking in the wild.
The prey is raw, fresh and alive. The bones are still soft, supple, hydrated and full of nutrients.
For the domesticated cats though the available food comes pre-cooked and not so full of nutrients!
In addition there is not a balance of carbohydrates and organic supplements that are necessary for
a complete and balanced food program.
If the label of the cat tin says that it is chicken meal, for instance,
that usually means that there are more chicken products in this batch than any other one ingredient.
However, if there are nineteen other ingredients in this batch, then there has to be only 6 percent chicken products,
including feathers, offal, feces, etc, to qualify to call it chicken meal.
The manufacturing process destroys whatever minimal nutritional content
there might have been. Then the commercial pet food companies put in sodium benzoate (a known poison to cats
amd one of the most commonly used preservatives right now that is highly touted as being okay
and seen even in “health foods” is benzoic acid or its salt form, sodium benzoate.
These can affect the nervous system, cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks,
stomach irritations and hyperactivity), sodium nitrite, BHA, BHT, MSG, red dye #40, blue dye #2, propylene glycol, formalin, ethoxyquin or other potential carcinogenic additives,
not to mention the rancid grease, salt and sugar.
Studies show that all of these preservatives may cause cancer, epilepsy, birth defects, metabolic stress,
severe allergic reactions, brain defects, liver and kidney ailments and behaviour problems.
Let's not forget that commercial food companies are out to please us as long as their wallet with lots of sugar
and salt and tempt the appetite with pretty, colorful labels to catch the eye.
The bottom line for the majority of commercial food companies is profit, not healthy foods for our pets.
So the question of what to feed your cat pops up to mind, what is good for our pets then?
Naturally raised meats, poultry and fish and organic vegetables are preferred, of course.
It is important that it is fresh or fresh-frozen and labeled for human consumption…not labeled for animals.
Of course it is better to feed meat and poultry that does not contain antibiotics, hormones and steroids;
however, if you cannot find naturally grown meats, then go to the busiest market and at least you will be getting fresh meat.
The idea is that We should feed our pets foods that they are fit for Human Consumption!!!
So here are some healthy recipies for our furry friends and companions:
