Caring for Your Cats

40% of cats are obese. 46% of dogs and 39% of cats now die of cancer. Heart, kidney and liver disease are epidemic. Like people, cats are what they eat. Save your cat a lot of suffering, and save yourself a fortune in vet bills, by learning the truth about your cat’s diet.
Improving your cat’s diet can add years to your cat’s life and save you a fortune. It doesn’t require a lot of work or expense. It just requires a little knowledge and the desire to give your cat the healthy body he or she deserves.
