Cat Health

Your cat's health starts the same place yours does. Diet. With that being said it may be a good idea to invest in quality cat food now so that you have less vet bills later. All natural cat food is much better for your cat than the big name brands. I know we don't want to hear this because the natural cat food is going to be a lot more expensive too! But think of how much a vet bill is, and of course also think of how much you care about your cat. Now if you can afford it I would definitly recommend buying the best cat food you can! What about cat health food? cat health food is the same thing as all natural cat food in my opinion. Healthy food for cats of course should be very high in protein. What do cats eat in nature? Meat! They are hunters. They do not grow corn!

Choosing A Veterinarian

It is essential to your cat's health that you choose the right vet. Cats can live 15 years or more so the vet you choose may be looking after your cat for quite some time.

One thing you may want to check when choosing a vet/clinic is the American Aniimal Hospital Association. (They are online at www.healthypet.com) - Check to see if the clinic is accredited. To be accredited an animal hospital must meet the standards established by the AAHA.

Some vets may not seem to handle your cat well or may not seem to relate to cats well. You need to consider this when choosing a vet. If the first vet you try doesn't seem like the right one maybe you should try another one. In more rural places you may not have much selection but if you live in a city like I do (Brooklyn, New York) you probably have a great deal of vets to choose from!
