Hello everyone I'm here to enlist your help again! You can google as much as you want but you'll never find a direct answer lol. Ok this is kind of random and scatterbrained post lol but I honestly don't know much about cat food at all and I have been free feeding I didn't even know that was bad until recently.
My cat is overweight. He needs to lose weight. He's about 16 pounds. Although he is an adorable chunkster I want him to be healthy and live as long as possible. I have been feeding him Purina Indoor Cat Chow. I asked my vet if I should switch and they said any Purina food should be ok. Is the brand I'm using ok?
I've also been reading that wet food with high protein and low carbs is best for cats? Is that correct? I've also been reading you should feed your cat the portion size of two mice per day? How in the heck do I figure out how much that is? Lol
I was thinking of purchasing an automatic feeder to control the portions more but do they have one for wet food? Or is that a no no....
If I can't do wet food, what is a really good brand of dry food that's mostly protein? Is it ok to keep cats on dry food?
Any advice is appreciated. basically I'm just wondering what some good brands are, and if you know if they have an automatic wet food feeder... or if I could even make my own food I would do that.
Btw I have 2 cats only one is overweight and I want to switch both of them to the healthiest diet possible
Thanks!!!
