I feed her the chicken breasts as her main diet. I also give her shredded cheese as a treat as well as lactose-free milk.
I found out from searching the internet last night that broccoli and bananas can be used for occasional treats too.
What do you guys feed your cats? I feed my cat boneless chicken breasts that I grill on the barbecue. The way I serve the chicken is pulled apart with two forks. So in essence, shredded chicken breasts. She's always had this food since she was a kitten.
One day she started getting weak in her back legs. She would avoid jumping and use her front legs and claws to pull herself up onto the furniture. I took her to the doctor and the smart doctor said she was low on bone density in her back legs. The doctor also said she had a heart murmur. The doctor went on to say the loss of bone density was caused by a deficiency of calcium in her diet and the heart murmur was likely caused my a deficiency of taurine in her diet.
I went to the feed store and bought a calcium supplement and a taurine supplement. Within two months she was back to running and jumping all over the house again. The one thing that has persisted however is her weight. When cats are 3 lbs overweight, that's a lot for a cat. She may even be more than 3 lbs overweight by now but I'm not sure because I don't have a scale. The two outdoor cats I feed with Iams dry food and they're never overweight.
Did you mean to say hotter?
