When you have a cat, you are obviously concerned about what food to give him. Sometimes you feel you like your cat has been extremely nice, and that he should be allowed to have a special treat, but on the other hand you care a lot about him, and are worried that a treat will not be healthy for him.First of all what you must know, is that giving healthy food to your cat is very important. It can extend the cats life of several years. For your information i have a dog, and have been giving him healthy food furing most of his life, and he is now 19 years old! crazy hey? Well for cats its the same.
My recommendation is to go and see a vet, who will see how your cat is, and will tell you what food you should give him depending on his weight, his age and health condition. Thats the first step to take. You are probably wondering whether you will be able to give him cat treats occasionaly? Well there all depends what you mean by occasionaly. In my opinion, you can give a small treat to your cat once a week but be careful of the quantities (they should be small comparend to what he usualy eats). What you can do is give something the cat really likes with another diet meal. For example i give sometimes some vegetables (he loves it), which are in fact good for his health! Your cat will be really happy, and you will have given him healthy food overall. Thats my advice, and all of my animals have lived a long time. Nevertheless becareful when giving cat treats, make sure they are good but light cat food (not too greasy or bad for him).
