Feline Health: Simple Tips and Must‑Read Articles

Keeping a cat healthy isn’t rocket science, but it does need a bit of know‑how. On this page you’ll find quick advice on feeding, common illnesses, and everyday tricks that make life better for you and your kitty. We’ve pulled together our most helpful posts so you can jump straight to the info you need.

Nutrition Basics for Cats

What you put in the bowl is the biggest factor in your cat’s health. Our article “Can Cats Live on Dry Food Alone?” breaks down the pros and cons of kibble‑only diets and explains why most vets recommend mixing in wet food or fresh additions. If you’re wondering how much wet food a 10‑lb cat should get, the guide “How Much Wet Food Does a 10 lb Cat Really Need?” gives exact portion numbers and timing tips.

Want to add a little flavor without hurting nutrition? Check out “Cat Food Additions: Should You Mix Anything With Dry Food?” – it lists safe toppers like cooked chicken, pumpkin, and cat‑friendly herbs. For a full schedule on how often you should feed your cat, the “How Often Should You Feed Your Cat?” post walks you through feeding kittens, adults, and seniors, plus ideas for picky eaters.

Common Health Concerns & Prevention

Health issues often show up as changes in appetite or bathroom habits. Our post “Are Purina and Fancy Feast Owned by the Same Company?” isn’t just about brands; it shows why knowing the source of your cat’s food matters for safety and quality. If you’re dealing with a cat that only drinks water and refuses dry food, the article on mixing wet and dry food gives step‑by‑step tips to transition without stress.

Weight management is another big topic. The same nutrition articles explain how to read labels, count calories, and choose low‑fat options when your cat starts gaining extra pounds. Regular vet checks, a balanced diet, and a bit of play are all you need to keep obesity at bay.

Beyond food, we cover lifestyle tricks that support overall health. Simple ideas like adding a water fountain to encourage hydration, providing scratching posts to protect claws, and scheduling short play sessions to keep muscles toned are all in our guide “Best Chews for Puppies,” which surprisingly includes safe chew toys that work for older cats, too.

When you’re ready to dive deeper, each article on this page links to detailed advice, real‑world examples, and expert quotes. Whether you’re a new cat parent or have a senior feline, the information here is organized so you can find the exact answer quickly.
