Cats need a complete and balanced diet made for cats.
Basics
- Choose a food labeled complete and balanced for your cat's life stage
- Measure meals; free-feeding often leads to weight gain
- Ask your vet how much to feed
- Change foods gradually over about a week
- Never feed dog food as a regular diet
- Keep treats to a small part of daily calories
