You should discuss your cat's diet with your vet. Nutritional requirements and restrictions will vary depending on a cat's medical history, stage of cardiac disease, and the existence of other medical conditions.

Neither is a vegan by nature -- dogs are omnivores, and cats are carnivores. While both dogs and cats belong to the class carnivora, this doesn't mean a lot, so does the panda bear and they are near vegan. By nature cats and dogs wouldn't eat anything like what is commonly found in a can of pet food either. Special diets must be provided for cats, as they require an amino acid called taurine -- found in the muscles of animals. See similar questions...

Label instructions are general guidelines. Your individual cat may require more or less based on the above factors.

There are many balanced cat diets available at your local pet shop or from your veterinarian. There are as many answers to this question as there are people feeding cats. I feed mine Nutro Complete Care products, kitten, adult and pouches. Very young kittens I feed either Iams Kitten or one of the Royal Canin kitten foods. If one of them needs additional calories or vitamins, I add Wysong Archetype to their regular meals. See similar questions...

Nowadays, commercial cat foods are specially designed to meet a cat's dietary needs and provide all the nutrients they need. Kittens, pregnant and lactating queens have specific nutritional requirements. See similar questions...

Dogs and cats each have special dietary needs and should be fed the appropriate pet food. Cats should not eat dog food because it does not provide all the essential nutrients a healthy cat needs. In short, dog food is designed to meet the nutritional needs of a dog and cat food is designed to meet the needs of a cat. The ingredients in pet food are listed in descending order by weight from largest to smallest. See similar questions...

You cannot free-feed any dry food. Carb-laden dry cat food is the cause of feline diabetes in the first place. You can leave canned, pouched, or meat diets down for some period of time (a few hours) if necessary. Actually, however, cats do not need to “graze” on any food. Cows are grazers, but cats eat discrete meals after a successful hunt. See similar questions...

The first thing for you to consider when deciding what to feed your exotic cat is to remember what they eat in the wild and then try to incorporate what you would find in nature into your feeding program. A frozen whole prey natural pet food diet is widely considered to be preferable to any commercial processed canned or dry food diet. All exotic cats are obligate carnivores and get virtually all of their nutrients from the prey (raw meat) they catch in the wild. See similar questions...
