Cat’s Food

                            Cats are strict carnivores that rely on nutrients in animal tissues to meet their specific and unique

nutritional requirements. In their natural habitat, cats consume prey high in protein with moderate

amounts of fat and small

amounts of carbohydrates. Thus, they are metabolically adapted for higher

metabolism of proteins and lower utilization of carbohydrates than dogs or other omnivores. Although

cats can use carbohydrates as a source of metabolic energy, they have limited ability to spare proteinutilizaton by using carbohydrats instead. Therefore, teir diet should be comprised of proteins, fats,carohydrates, vitamins, mierals and water in the  orrect proportions. A cat food that meets these requirements is called a “Complete” or “Balanced” dit. The amount of food a cat requires depends on the cat’ age, breed, gender, acivity, temperament, environment and metabolism.

Proteins

Comprised of 23 diffrent amino acids, protens are often called the “building blocks” of the tissues. The cat’s body can manufacture 12 of these amino acids. The other 11 amino acids, however, must come

from dietary meat and plant sources and are called the “essential amino acids”.The biological value of a protein is a measure of that protein’s ability to supply amino acids, particularly the 11 essential amino acids, and to supply these amino acids in the proper proportions. In general,animal proteins (meat, by-product meal) have higher biological value than vegetable proteins (soybean meal, corn gluten meal). Taurine, an amino acid present only in animal tissues, is one of the essential amino acids for cats needed to sustain normal cardiovascular, reproductive, and visual performance. Cats require a dietary source of taurine because they cann't synthesize enough taurine from dietary precursors. Arginine is essential in the feline diet to promote detoxification of nitrogenous waste products.

Fats

Fats are used to supply energy, essntial fatty acids and promote absorption of fat-soluble Vitam ins A, D, E and K. In addition, fats make a diet more palatable to a cat and help to maintain a healthy skin and

haircoat. Compared to dogs, cats require dietary sources of both linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. The

requirement of both fatty acids arises from cats’ inability to synthesize arachidonic acid from linoleic acid.

If a cat’s diet is very high in fat it may result in the cat eating excessive amount of energy that may

predispose to weight gain and obesity. If the fat becomes rancid, it destroys fat soluble vitamins and also essential fatty acids, leading to deficiencies. Commercial cat foods contain special natural or synthetic additives called “antioxidants” to prevent the loss of these essential nutrients .

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates provide energy and are made up primarily of sugars, starches and cellulose (fiber). Carbohydrates are supplied in the diet from plant sources such as grains and vegetables. Despite the cat’s adaptation to a low-carbohydrate diet, they are very efficient in starch and simple sugar utilization. The starch levels found in commercial cat foods (up to 35% of the food dry matter) are well-tolerated.

Vitamins

Vitamins are necessary for many of the body’s chemical reactions. Fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, E and K need fat in the diet to be absorbed by the body. Cats are incapable of converting beta-carotene from vegetables to Vitamin A. Therefore cats require preformed Vitamin A, which is found only in animal tissues. Cats also require more of the B vitamins thiamin and niacin than most species. Vitamin C is not needed in the feline diet because cats can make it themselves. “Complete” and “Balanced” commercial cat foods don’t need additional vitamin supplementation for most normal cats.

Minerals

Minerals are needed by the body for structural building and chemical reactions. Like vitamins, minerals are supplied in the correct proportions in “Complete” and “Balanced” commercial cat foods. Damage can be done by over supplementation. This is particularly true for calcium and phosphorus, because the proportions of these two minerals must be supplied to the cat in the proper ratio for nutritional health.

Water

Water is the most important nutrient for all animals. Since cats do not have a strong thirst drive compared to other mammals, it is critical to provide a source of clean and fresh water in various locations at all times. Canned cat food has a water content of at least 75 percent, so it is a good dietary source of water.

Feeding a Balanced Diet

Cats require a diet that regularly includes proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water for proper nutrition. Of equal importance is the balance of these nutrients in the diet. A commercial cat food is the most convenient method of ensuring a cat receives these in gredients in correct proportions.

Pet’s Animals Food

                    We are many guys are like to pet’s animals. And we are spend many time on our pet’s animals with  likely . So our pet’s animals  has of course need to feed as possible as good food .

when handling pet foods and treats. These products, like many other types of foods, can be susceptible to harmful bacterial contamination. Salmonella in pet foods and treats can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and in people too, especially children, older people, and those with compromised immune systems. Salmo-nella in pet foods and treats potentially can be transferred to people ingesting or handling the contaminated products. FDA has stepped up its efforts to mini-mize the incidence of foodborne illness associated with pet foods and treats. Pet owners and consumers can also help reduce the likelihood of infection from contaminated pet foods and treats by following safe handling instructions .

Older’s Food

A Older man’s have many rule of eating food cause those age’s they are be sick and some time flow in diseased . SO that’s cause we need to provide to sound body for our older body . And if you want to be earn healthy body then you need to follow some food rule maintenance. So be carefully ..

A table for comfortable our plan ti’s on below  47-48 gives some example one-week menus for older people living in residential or nursing homes.Table 5 on page 49 gives some example menus for community meals. These menus may not be suitable for some older people from black and ethnic minorities, and different menus may need to be designed. When devising menus, it is important not to generalise, but rather to ask clients about their preferences. The community meals given in Table 6 are very general examples to show that Asian or Afro-Caribbean meals can meet the nutritional guidelines. Excellent resour ces on Afro- Caribbean foods and menus suitable for use in care homes have been produced by the Relatives and Residents Association African Caribbean Elders Project. Details of these can be found on page 76. When planning and preparing meals, it is important that fruit and vegetables are not stored or cooked for too long, as this leads to loss of vitamin C. Older people who have difficulty eating whole fruit and vegetables can have them stewed, puréed or made into soups. Try and ensure that older people have at least five portions of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables every day. In order to stimulate an interest in food, it is important to avoid over- repetition of menus. Popular meals can of course be provided at frequent intervals, but the ‘shepherd’s pie every Wednesday’ syndrome should be avoided. A five-week menu cycle, which is changed every three months or so, offers scope for variety and choice. This pattern is already used in many re sidential and nursing homes. Many older people enjoy meat dishes, but future generations will need a much broader menu, including vegetarian meals, pasta dishes and curries
