You should definitely consider using holistic cat food for your cat. Holistic cat food is food that has no artificial ingredients in it.

One of the reasons cats live such a short time is because most cat food produces don't make nutritious food.

The natural life span of cats is actually twenty five to thirty years but the average cat only lives to be seven to ten years old. The nutritional value of most commercial food for felines is equivalent to Twinkies.

Just imagine what would happen to you if you ate nothing but junk food for the next nine years.

When you have food that is free of everything that is not found naturally then you have holistic food. The problem with cat food being holistic is that you never know what is actually in it. The cat food company's only have to claim the ingredients that are put into the food after it reaches their plant.

Basically, the law states that if the meat gets preservatives put into it at a processing plant before it reaches the cat food manufacturers then they can turn around and claim that it is preservative free.

What they consider meat for cat food is another problem. Animals put down at the pound, parts of cows not usable for us, and road kill are all used for the meat and meat byproducts.

When an animal is euthanized at the pound they use poison. Unfortunately for your cat the poison does not cook out when they process the meat. You might unknowingly be poisoning your cat when you feed him.

But what are your options?

Well if you want your four legged family member to live a long and healthy life you might want to consider using a combination of homemade food and safe commercial food. With homemade food you don't have to wonder what's in it because you put it their.

Giving your cat homemade cat food is a great way to make sure your cat is living his life to the fullest. Don't forget about your puppy either. Make sure he is getting homemade puppy food!

Even if your cats food has not been recalled that does not necessarily mean that it is safe cat food. The majority of the cat food on the market today might not only be nutritionally void but it may even be dangerous to your cat.

Not only does some of the major brands of cat food contain no nutrition but they may even contain poison. Animals that are put down at the pound by using poison are on of the many meat sources that are found in cat food.

The problem with this is (other then the obvious that your cat is not a cannibal) is that the poison they use to put the animals down does not cook out when they cook the meat.

Anything that is on the dog or cat is also considered fair game to use as a meat source. This includes any metal id tags, flea collars, and even hair and teeth. Another meat source that is used is road kill that is to big to dispose of by digging a hole in the ground.

When processing meat for human consumption a big barrel is placed nearby. Anything that they cannot sell to humans goes into this barrel and it then goes on to be used in cat food. This could include cancerous tissue or even a puss filled cyst.

So that leaves us with dead, dying, or diseased animals for the meat source and the meat by products are even worse. It's no wonder that most cats don't even live half of their natural life expectancy.

The more research I did on cat food the more shocked I became. I did not even want to touch my cats food let alone feed it to him.

There are some safe, nutritious foods out there for cats. To give your cat optimal health and a long life expectancy it is recommended to feed your cat a combination of safe cat food and healthy homemade food.

All of us would like to feed our kitty the best food possible, but finding a nutritious healthy food for your cat is not as easy as it seems. Looking at the beautifully designed bags filled with kibble, along with the enticing text using words such as "wholesome" "nutritious" and "Veterinary Recommended" it can be easy to be put at ease, especially after reading that the very first ingredient is meat!

Unfortunately there are a number of ingredients in cat food that not only do not belong there, they can be detrimental to your cat.

Pet food companies go through some effort to make you believe that grains are "wholesome" for your pet. The truth is that grains are implicated with a slew of health problems. Grains are also not part of a cat's natural diet.

One of the worst ingredients in pet food is corn. It irritates the bowel, it is highly allergy producing and it has a high glycemic index.

Every time your cat eats food containing corn, there will be a spike in blood sugar levels. Cats do not metabolize foods the same way we do, and do not have the enzymes and hormones necessary to keep their blood sugar levels within normal range after consuming carbs. Cats are designed to get their energy from protein, not carbohydrates.

In the wild cats consume approximately 3-5% of their diet as carbohydrates. Commercial kibble containing corn contains from 30-60% carbohydrates.

A cat eating kibble will have a blood sugar spike after their meal. Cats, having again a very different way of metabolizing food, do not release insulin in response to a high carb content meal like we do. They release insulin in response to eating meat.

The high blood sugar is highly taxing on organs such as kidneys and liver, taxing on the endocrine system and the end result is frequently feline diabetes, degenerative and auto immune diseases, and diseases of the bowel, such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Corn also helps making your cat obese. Cats do not register full after eating carbs. They register full after eating protein. A cat eating a food with high grain content will have to eat a lot more in order to consume enough protein to register full.

Switching your cat to a grain-less food frequently reverses diabetes, even if insulin has been given for some time. (A switch should be done ONLY with the cooperation of your vet, while monitoring blood glucose levels in order to prevent your cat's blood sugar to go too low which can be deadly.)

Getting your cat or dog, onto a food that does not contain corn is of utmost importance.

A cat food recall indicates that the cat food poses a health risk due to a problem with the contents of the cat food. In some cases, cat food is recalled before reports of cat illness from the cat food. Sometimes, the cat food recall is in response to the illness or even death of cats that ate the cat food. During a cat food recall, the cat food is removed from the retailers shelves and customers are asked to return the food for a refund.

One cat food recall involved food that contained wheat gluten that was tainted with melamine. Melamine has many uses including the manufacturing of filters, plastics, and tiles. The tainted wheat gluten was imported from China.

This cat food recall was issued after several pets got ill and died after eating the contaminated food. It is estimated that hundred of animals died after eating melamine-tainted food. The people responsible for the use of the contaminated wheat gluten were indicted.

In addition to contaminating wheat gluten, some rice gluten imported from China has also been found to be contaminated with melamine. The tainted rice gluten causes many cat food recalls in 2007.

Cat food recalls that are voluntary are by the choice of the cat food manufacturer. In those cases, the problem with the cat food is minor and does not have a significant risk cat health.

A recent cat food recall is a voluntary recall of NUTRO Natural Choice Complete Care dry cat foods with best if used by dates of May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010. The recall is due to an imbalance of the amounts of potassium and zinc. No cat illnesses due to this cat food have been reported.

Cat food safety is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additives and coloring used in cat food must be tested by the FDA before the cat food is introduced to the market.

Cat food recalls are often announced on television news programs and other news media. The FDA website has information as recalls. Customers can ask the retailer for information about the cat food recall.

Cat food recalls are meant to remove a cat food from circulation before any cats become ill from an identified risk in the cat food. The cat food recall may be issued after some cats have become ill or even died after eating the cat food. If there is a cat food recall, retailers give refunds to customers who purchased the product and pull the product from the shelves.

A fairly recent cat food recall involved cat food containing contaminated wheat gluten. The wheat gluten, imported from China, was contaminated with melamine. Melamine is a substance used to make plastics, tile, countertops, filters, and other various products.

After some cat illness and death was attributed to the melamine-tainted cat food, a cat food recall was issued. The people who were determined to be responsible for the presence of melamine in the animal feed were indicted.

Melamine has also caused other cat food recalls. In 2007, several cat food recalls were due to rice gluten imported from China that was contaminated with melamine.

A cat food recall may be a voluntary action of the cat food manufacturer if they discover a minor flaw in the quality of the cat food that does not pose a serious health risk to cats. If cats become ill from cat food, the Food and Drug Administration may issue a cat food recall.

One recent cat food recall was a voluntary recall involving cat food that contained incorrect amounts of zinc and potassium. The NUTRO Natural Choice Complete Cat Care dry cat food with best if used by dates of May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010 was voluntarily recalled. There have been no reports of cats becoming ill due to this cat food.

Cat food safety is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additives and coloring used in cat food must be tested by the FDA before the cat food is introduced to the market.

There are expenses related to cat ownership such as litter, veterinary costs, and cat food. Using cat food coupons is a way to reduce the cost of cat ownership.

Cat food coupons are widely available. Many newspapers have coupons, especially in the Sunday edition of the paper. Cat owners may find coupons for cat food and other products that they use.

One source of cat food coupons is through the websites of cat food manufacturers. A cat food manufacturers website may feature many offers for cat food coupons or cat food samples. If the cat owner requests a cat food sample, the sample may arrive with coupons as well.

The websites for cat food manufacturers may require the cat owner to register in order to receive coupons. The positive aspect of registering on a cat food manufacturers website is that the company may send future coupons and samples without requiring a request from the cat owner.

When a new cat food product is introduced to the market, the cat owner should look at that companys website for a sample or coupon for the new product.

Sometimes, cat food companies will send coupons to cat owners who request cat food coupons for their products. If the cat food owner sends a request by mail or email, the cat food owner should be sure to include their full name and address.

Coupon websites allow the websites users to select and print coupons. Cat owners can look for cat food coupons as well as coupons for other things they need.

Cat owners should avoid using coupons and purchasing products that they would not normally buy unless the only reason for not buying it before was the cost without a coupon. Buying cat food in a flavor that the cat refuses to eat will waste money if the cat food goes to waste.

Many cat owners are discovering that they enjoy making homemade cat food for their cats. Some cat owners make their own cat food out of concerns about the contents and nutritional value of manufactured cat food.

When cat owners make their cats food, they can create meals that are more similar to what a cat would eat in the wild. Many manufactured cat foods have much less protein and more carbohydrates than a cat would naturally eat. Some people who make their own cat food claim to save money, which is more likely for those who make several servings of cat food and freeze the bulk of it until it is used.

Raw food diets for pets have become increasingly popular. Some cat owners who make homemade cat food use meat grinders to grind meat and bones as the main component of the cat food.

If someone wants to make cat food without buying a meat grinder, the cat owner can follow a simple homemade cat food recipe. Some easy homemade cat food recipes do not require the purchase of special tools of ingredients that are not readily available.

A simple homemade cat recipe includes the cat owners choices of meat, vegetables, and other ingredients. The meat choices for this recipe are one cup cubed, cooked chicken, 6 ounce can of salmon, one can of tuna, one can of sardines in olive oil, or " cup beef, cooked and shredded. Tuna should not be used too often due to concerns about mercury content.

After the meat is selected, choose at least one vegetable. The suggested vegetable choices are chopped, steamed broccoli, cup shredded, steamed carrots, finely chopped celery, or cup cubed, cooked potato. The cat owner may want to try different combinations of vegetables and meat to find the homemade cat food recipe that the cat likes best.

The vegetables and meat are mixed with a little chicken or beef broth. One or two tablespoons of cooked oatmeal or some cooked rice may be added to the meat and vegetable mixture.

In order to ensure that the cat is receiving a variety of vitamins and minerals, the cat owner should avoid always feeding the cat the same foods. Trying different combinations helps make sure the cat is receiving a nutritious diet.

Free cat food samples can help reduce the costs of cat supplies. At this time, many people are looking for ways to save money. Though free cat food samples are not likely to save a cat owner a substantial amount of money, every little bit helps.

Manufacturers of cat food sometimes give away free samples of cat food. Cat food samples may be given away at pet stores or through their websites.

The purpose of cat food samples is to entice new customers. The cat food manufacturers hope that the cat owners will buy the cat food.

Cat owners looking for free samples of cat food may want to start their search with a search engine. The search on a search engine like Google.com may show manufacturers who are giving away free cat food samples.

The websites of cat food manufacturers may have clubs for kitten owners or new cat owners. Often, a manufacturer will send cat care information, cat food samples, and cat food coupons to cat owners who join these clubs.

When a cat food manufacturer sells a new cat food product, the manufacturer often distributes free samples of the new cat food to those who request the sample on their website. If a cat owner notices a new cat food product advertised or in the store, the cat owner may want to check the manufacturers website for offers of free cat food samples.

The disadvantage of using cat food samples is that the samples are rather small. Therefore, the sample may only be one serving for a cat. If the owner gives the cat samples of cat food that is different from the cats usual food, the change in food may upset the cats stomach.

When using many samples of cat food, the cat owner may want to add a small amount of cat food from a dry cat food sample to the cat's usual dry cat food. Since canned or moist cat food does not stay fresh in an open container, adding small amounts over time only works for dry cat food.
