Thread: Whats actually in Cat Food?

Continuation ... and I now have a laptop back so this is going to be easier, first post was made on a mobile phone so apologies for the lack of paragraphs and spacing, I will try and correct it.

Waltham who make Whiskers website states that they add more nutrients into their food than the minimum recomendations to compensate for the losses in the processing of the food. However, this itself can cause problems and be potentially dangerous to cats and leads to hypervitaminosis.

Vets have also found a link between canned foods, particularly fish varieties, and hyperthyroidism in cats.

Some contaminents may survive the rendering process, therefore a tin of cat food can conttain antibiotics, hormones, the chemicals used at the slaughterhouses and barbituates. Even more less desirable contaminents can be found as well.

To make thhe naturally bland kibble appealing to cats it is sprayed with fat mixed with flavour enhancers. This fat will have been treated with ethoxyquin to stabilise it. This product has never been certified as safe for cats. Antioxidants are also added - yeah more chemicals. High wheat content kibble is known to cause vomitting and diahroea in cats, Persians appear to be most susceptable to this.

Have a look at the ingredients in cat food, do you find cellulose or cellulose pulp, any idea what it is? Blood soaked sawdust. So your feeding your cat wood. Sawdust is a by-product and the timber will have been treated with chemicals.

(As I keep getting logged out I will coninue in another reply, cheating this time going to type it in Word and copy and paste it as I've lost about five times whats here)
