Most veterinarians will recommend dry food for your cat. Dry food is easily digested and is good for your cat's teeth. Many cats prefer wet food over dry food. If your feline is underweight or isn't eating well, you could try mixing the dry food with a small amount of wet food to increase palatability. One myth about cats is that they like milk. While they may like the taste, it is not good for their digestive system. Milk can cause diarrhea, which is what you do not want. Make sure you provide your feline with clean, fresh water at all times. You may want to give your kitty the occasional treat as well. Tags: Cat Home Health Care
