This is an ever ongoing discussion. I feed mostly dry food of a certain
quality (not the supermarket brands). When choosing a dry food, look
carefully at the list of ingredients - study the different websites ;-)
- the magnesium level should be as low as possible (under 0,1% is best),
the level of fat doesn't have to be very high for indoor cats (10-12% is
ok). Make sure the cat has plenty of clean water at all times!
Wet food is often mostly water... very expensive water if you ask me ;-)
If you want to give the cat a treat, try raw meat :-) Beef, veal, pork,
chicken, turkey, shrimp & tuna (not too often as the level of metals can
be quite high in shellfish and fatty fish) are often welcomed. :-)

I agree with Camila, as long as the cat has plenty of clean drinking water
then it is fine to give dry food. Both wet and dry foods are nutritional
balanced to meet the cats needs. Stick to non store brands of food. also
look for foods that have no by-products in them. The cheaper the food is
the cheaper the raw ingredients that go into are.

Thanks for this information..I take that means the Purina Go-kat
(kitten variety) that I am currently feeding them is no good
(magneisum level of 0.11%).

We don't have Purina cat food in Denmark AFAIK. Is it a supermarket
brand? I would choose a pet store or vet brand.
