Well, I am taking this from a almost-ferret-owner perspective. (I studied into owning one for 2 years, but never adopted one)
I try and try to convince my parents to stop feeding kit and kaboodle. Or Catchow. Both have corn as the first ingrediant. My argument is like so:
Corn is hard to digest, which means the cat will have to eat more in order to sustain themselves. Cats are carnivores and eat a high in protein/fat and low in carb diet. The more carbs, the less easy energy. Cats will *poop* more if they can't meet their nutritional needs through a small meal. This puts strain on the digestive system. The cat should be eating something with chicken or meat as at least the first 2 ingrediants, which will also provide essential fatty oils that will help their coat. When they have more oils, they loose less fur, and have less hairballs.
It also seems that the cats puke more when they are lesser quality food, but I don't know why.
Am I correct? What else should i present for my argument ? Lol
