Human food is not appropriate for pet cats because of so many reasons. Humans are omnivores and the way food is prepared will mean cats won’t be able to get the essential nutrients that they need as true carnivores. Also, there are certain additives in human food that can be potentially harmful to cats. Still, the practice of giving table scraps to pet cats continues to exist, although there is nothing wrong with it if done once in a while as a treat. But take note that even in moderation this can significantly add to the calorie intake of your pet.

The best way to meet your pet cat’s nutritional needs for specific nutrients is still a premium quality diet that is appropriate for your pet’s life stage.

If your pet cat seems to be losing weight or lacks appetite, then a visit to your Winchester Veterinary Clinic should be made.
