Are You Abusing Your Cat?

Could this possibly be the case?
I urge you read this article even if it upsets you because the life of your cat hangs in the balance.
The first thing you must understand is that the physiology of cats is very different from humans. Humans are omnivores - meaning that our bodies are well designed to digest fruits, vegetables and meats. Our bodies have long digestive systems therefore our bodies can extract nutrients from fruits, vegetables and meats and benefit from them.
Feeding your cat, for a prolong period of processed carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables will cause food related illnesses. These illnesses include such problems as; diabetes, IBD and others. Cats are obligate carnivores. Their bodies are well suited for eating and digesting raw meat.
The commercial cat food companies sell large amounts of the cheaply produced dry, bagged cat foods. Cat caregivers purchase this food out of convenience and as a result of misleading ads produced by the commercial cat food companies. Their ads make you think that such things as; fruits, vegetables and large amounts of processed carbohydrates are beneficial to your cat.
When you enter a supermarket or other places that sell cat food and you see bags of cat food with fruits and vegetables on them, this gives you the false impression that since fruits and vegetables are good for humans, then they must be good for your cat. But this is a wrong and dangerous belief.
If a human was forced to eat a diet comprised of meats and processed carbohydrates, he would face a premature death. This type of a diet for humans would encourage hypertension, obesity, diabetes and as a result premature death. This is the same results you achieve when you feed your cat commercial dry cat food.
Humans cannot thrive on meat and bread alone. We must have fruits and vegetables coupled with exercise in order to live full and productive lives. By comparison, cats must have a meat-based diet coupled with exercise in order to thrive. By feeding your cats a dry commercial food, you are sentencing your cat to a premature and often painful death.
It doesn't matter what the commercial cat food companies say, the bottom line is that you are responsible for your cat's nutritional needs. In order to do that, you must arm yourself with the facts.
The commercial cat food companies do it for money. They are part of a multi-billion dollar, mostly unregulated pet food industry. You do it out of love for your cat. I know you really do believe that by feeding your cat what the commercial cat companies tell you is nutritional is right but that is not true. Do you really know what goes into a dry bag of cat food?
Do you really know what goes into a bag of dry cat food? Your cat could be a cannibal without you knowing it. Yes, dead dogs and cats have been known to find their way into pet foods. It is not uncommon for pet food companies to use the four D's (dead, dying, diseased, disabled) animals.
The four D's can include road-kill (dead animals found on the side of the roadways), euthanized animal from Veterinarian clinics, dying circus animals and ill farm animals that are not fit for human consumption and other animals that are riddled with cancerous tumors. You will find these ingredients listed on the bag as meat meal, animal digest, animal by-product or meat by-product.
As if this was not enough the commercial cat food companies add toxic preservatives.
Ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT all have been linked to kidney and liver failure in cats are used to extend the shelf life of their foods.
Do you believe that cat food can sit in a hot warehouse for twelve to eighteen months and still be considered nutritional?
Always keep in mind that your cats are carnivores - they need meat to thrive. Don't just assume what all the commercial cat food companies say is true. Take control of your cats' diet and this will enable them to avoid premature deaths.
