We celebrated International Cat Day this week, and Happy Healthy Cat Month is coming up soon in September, so now is the perfect time to address the "cat in the room" -- your feline friend's diet. I'll be the first to admit my own cats' diet isn't purr-fect. My Bella can be a picky eater and sometimes doesn't even come when I call her for dinner. Her brother Jack, on the other hand, would eat 24 hours a day if I'd let him, which explains why he's about 3x the size of Bella. I know, however, that Jack and Bella are just experiencing one of the three most common cat concerns: picky eating, weight gain, and urinary tract issues.
I learned about the Big 3 by partnering with Weruva -- a luxurious, natural pet food dubbed "people food for cats," which is launching a full line of gluten, grain, and carrageenan-free cat food in honor of International Cat Day. It's called B.F.F. OMG! (that stands for Best Feline Friend, Oh My Gravy), and it's all about preventing these Big 3 Cat Concerns.If your cat has any of these, you might want to consider changing their diet:
- Is your cat picky? Picky eating is usually a problem with texture, since cats are carnivores whose tongues and teeth are perfectly evolved for meat-eating. It's easy to see why a cat might dislike something without real shreds of meat -- would you eat a steak with the texture of tapioca? Weruva's food features these shreds of real meat right off the bone, which is why my Bella truly took to it like a duck to water (or a cat to gravy)! I've never seen her eat so much in one sitting as she did with this food. She totally got into the gravy, as you can see below!
She's licking her lips!
- Got a fat cat? The problem is in the kibble. It's filled with unnecessary carbs, which are almost impossible for cats to process (they don't produce amylase, an enzyme which helps humans digest their food). (Now I know why my Jack is so chubby!) Weruva’s B.F.F. OMG! has no kibble to worry about because it’s 100% real meats in their true form.
I love Weruva products because they are considered "people food for pets." The new line of B.F.F. OMG! cans and pouches feature land proteins like boneless and skinless white chicken breast, salmon, beef, duck, lamb and more. All recipes are grain, gluten, and carrageenan free. And if you are a BPA-free home, check out the pouches because they are are BPA-free. Best of all, my kitties LOVE it! (See Jack chowing down below.)
This really does look like people food!
Health isn't just for humans, and I'm glad I took the time to learn how to feed my BFF properly. Even better, in the process, I found my cats' new favorite food. I was totally surprised to find that Bella especially likes Weruva's Chicken and Pumpkin Dinner in Gravy -- who knew that cats would eat pumpkin?! You can explore the whole B.F.F. OMG! lineup at www.weruva.com, and find a flavor your cat will paw-sitively adore, at Chewy.com
