anybody feed their cat organic cat food? I was recently at the health food store (I am eating organic now) and noticed they had organic cat food, can anybody tell me if they noticed any differences in their cat on organic food? um, I'm sorry but...organic is very different from vegetarian...organic just means that the food contains no chemicals, etc... and I know the cat food I looked at had meat in it as I looked at the ingredients. And no, I don't mean "raw" diet...if I meant raw I would've said raw, I said organic cat food.

I wouldn't as Organic cat food wouldn't contain meat! and MEAT is essential for cats! I seen organic dog food and it contain NO meat! Taurine is essential for cats!

I am pretty sure that organic cat food can contain meat. Its vegetarian that cant contain meat. But no, my cat eats regular food. I suppose it would do a certain amount of good, but I dont know how long you would have to wait to see that, ask your vet??

Do you mean a raw diet?

I think if you can find a good quality organic cat food that is appropriate for cats, you should go for it (assuming the cat likes it). The supermarket foods are loaded with grains, fillers, additives and chemicals - none of which are good for cats. Cats are much more sensitive to toxins than people or even dogs. Most of us just buy a high quality canned food at the pet stores (like Wellness).

My cat had crystals in his urine and it was making it hard for him to pee. Apparently, cheap non-organic food contains lots of bad additives that can cause this condition. Also, cats are really only supposed to eat meat, and the non-organic foods often contain other non-meat ingredients. So once I started feeing him organic food (which is basically pure chicken), he got 100% better. Also, he doesn't like to drink water very often and the organic food is very moist, with a lot of broth, so that helps with his bladder as well.

I feed holistic cat food called Felidae. Holistic on a brand just means the products used in it are things that a human would eat like high quality meat and carbohydrates like brown rice. And once a week my cat gets raw boneless chicken breast and chopped liver and heart. Since switching her to Felidae supplemented with a bit of raw flesh and she doesn't need to eat as much,her cat is shiney and she sheds less,and her poop isn't as large. http://www.canidae.com/cats/cat_and_kitten/dry.html

You should be aware that organic cat foods may or may not be truly organic. There's no regulation on it like there is with human foods or goods. Most of them tend to be of a better quality than grocery store foods but that's about all I can say about them without reviewing specific brands. The best that I can answer your question is to say that I have DEFINITELY seen a difference in my cats after I switched them from Purina to healthier foods
