Natural Cat Health Can Be The Cure All To Chronic Disease

     Natural cat health went through a serious decline a couple of decades ago. As a result, domestic cats in general became much more unhealthy. Now, with a boom in natural human health, the same is being searched for with cats and other pets. After all, if it works for people, it will work for animals, too.

Let's look at what natural cat health means and how you can achieve it.

There are many factors which contribute to good health in cats, but perhaps the two most important ones are diet and health care.

Diet is often the key to good and bad health. Many people eat badly, but at least there are some basic laws which prevent the worst ingredients being used. This is generally lacking in animal foods. Which means that anything can, and normally does, happen.

Commercial cat food is often considered to be 'perfectly balanced' and 'nutritionally complete'. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are pretty words, but false claims made within a lax legal system.

The typical ingredients of most commercial cat food is low grade 'meat', but often meat by-products. The best cuts of meat go for the more lucrative human market. Meat by-products are often made from the waste of slaughter houses, the collections of euthanased pets from veterinary clinics, road kill, dead animals from the smaller research laboratories, diseased farm animals deemed unfit for human food (such as BSE in cattle) and so forth.

This is then diluted with a filler which is often not natural for cats. Such as melamine or sawdust or paper or nut shells or sugar. Anything that is cheap and that will bulk out the 'meat'.

Then come the chemicals to address the shortfall in nutrition, to colour, to flavour, to preserve, to create an acceptable consistency, to stimulate your cat to eat. No chemical is natural. At best they are eliminated, at worst they create health problems. With few enforceable laws in any country, these can be the most toxic. Even when claims are made on the packet, to be chemical or preservative free, laboratory tests have proven that they are, in fact, present.

By making your own homemade cat food, with loving care and fresh, quality ingredients, you can keep control over what your cat eats. Although making homemade cat food can sound daunting, once you are in a routine, it's almost as simple as opening a packet. And the price is not much different either.

The big difference shows up quickly in the return of good health in your cat.

The second important area of natural cat health to consider is the health care. Drugs and vaccines cause untold damage to everyone's health. A much safer, more effective way to go is with a natural modality of health care such as homeopathy. This powerful, yet gentle system of health care can resolve deep seated and serious health issues as well as the more mundane problems that happen frequently.

The bonus is that your cat will not have to be forced to take the treatment. Animals have a natural wisdom of what helps and what harms them. They resist that which harms them, but willingly take, even seek out, that which helps them.
