Confused about what i should feed my cat? dry food, canned food, people food? whats better for him?
i read that dry food is addictive to cats, but its bad for them because they can get diabetes or something...
well my cat has been eating dry food for 6-7 years, with the exception of a canned food here and there as a special treat.
he is a little chubby, but not fat fat. should i change his diet? i also know that its good to feed cats lots of meat and fat, things of that nature, like things that they would eat in the wild.
my dad says that giving cats canned food gives them diarrhea, but he doesnt do the litterbox anyway so why does it matter? lol but seriously.
i am concerned for my kitty's health, and i dont want him to end up another obese, diabetic cat.
actually, i heard that dry food is worse for their teeth. wow im confused, people are telling me dry food is bad, then other people are telling me theres nothing wrong with it. 
Dry food is the worst food you can feed a cat. And yes dry food is a main factor in both obesity and Feline Diabetes. I have a diabetic cat who has been in remission for three years and this happened by changing his food to a high protein, low carbohydrate food.
There are countless studies (ones that are NOT done by the major dry food manufacturers) that show dry food and they large amounts of carbohydrates and fillers can dramatically increase your cat's blood glucose.
Canned cat food does not give your cat diarrhea (although if you switch too fast that can happen but that is true for any food) Dry Food helping your cat's teeth is also a myth.
Remember when you feel your cat a high quality diet they eat less because it has the nutrients they need. Most obesity comes from a cat needing to eat so much poor nutritional food to get what their body craves, they eat too many calories.
I have found it is cheaper to feed a high quality food and the added benefits are less trips to the vet and a healthier, happier cat.
