Being a cat owner isn't always that easy: Apparently everything they do considering their cat's diet seems to be wrong. If they buy the cheap food they feel like they won't cherish their cat enough.
If they buy the more expensive food, though, they will often think "is that product really worth two dollars more or am I just paying for the ad instead?" "Does it really have a better, healthier content or does it contain the same crap like the cheap food?"
Many outrageous stories are being told about cat food or pet food in general. Most cat owners ask themselves once in a while: But what's the alternative to cat food from the supermarket?
The answer is really obvious!
Natural cat diet with raw food
Cats that live in the wild don't just hunt mice for fun (although it seems to be fun). Mice are the perfect food for a cat. Millions of years of evolution let us suggest this. But most of the cats today aren't born on a romantic farm where they can hunt mice whenever they like. In the worst case they were born in a dark small city flat and only leave it to get into another flat. Those cats barely know what "natural" and "mice" means.
You can rarely buy tons of mice in retail, of course, but there are other ways to get hold of real raw flesh. This flesh and other parts of the body like organs give the ideal quantity of vitamines, minerals and so on to your cat. Most cats even like this kind of food much better. The results of a natural cat diet are a shiny fur, a better immun system and a more relaxed and active cat (since good food also strengthens mental health).
You can buy that healthy raw flesh for your cat either in the next supermarked (chicken, fish, and all other kinds of unsalted and unseasoned types of raw flesh), in some well-assorted pet stores or via internet (we found this to be the easiest method).
The Solution: BARF Cat Diet
B.A.R.F. means Biologically Appropiate Raw Food and stays for a relatively new kind of cat (or pet) nourishmet.
Flesh (sometimes bones), fish and vegetables (in small amounts) are being fed to the cat. The cat owners have to control composition of each themselves.
If you want to enable an appropiate diet for your cat you won't be able to not cross BARF. There are lots and lots of information to be found online since the BARF community is a strongly growing one.
