Third Blog - Why it’s important to . . .

Hello there, Welcome to our blog!. 

Today we will talk about Why Choosing the Right Food for Your Cat Is So Important.

For cat owners, cats are not just pets — they are family 💝 

And one of the biggest factors that affects their health is the food we give them every single day.

Many people think that as long as their cat is full, that’s enough. But in reality, choosing the right food can determine your cat’s health, lifespan, and overall quality of life 🐈✨

1.🩺Food = your cat’s health 

Good-quality food strengthens the immune system, supports organs, and lowers the risk of disease.

2.💧 Helps Prevent Common Diseases

Because cats drink little water, poor nutrition can lead to urinary and kidney problems.

3.⚖️ Maintains a Healthy Weight

Proper food helps prevent obesity, malnutrition, and related health issues.

4.✨ Healthier Skin and Fur

Balanced nutrients keep fur soft, shiny, and reduce skin problems.

5.🧠 Better Mood and Energy

Well-fed cats are more active, playful, and emotionally stable.

6.💕 Your Cat Depends on You

Indoor cats cannot choose their own food, so every meal is our responsibility.

🐱 In Short

Good food = Better health, longer life, and a happier cat 💗

Cat-alog: Top 5 Unique cat breeds 

Welcome back to the Catalog! This time, we will be introducing you to 5 cats that you may not have known about.

Rusty-spotted cat

Native to India and Sri Lanka, Prionailurus Rubiginosus or commonly called the rusty spotted cat are an extremely small species. They have reddish fur with spots that resemble rust on the back and flank, with 4 black lines on their eyes, 2 extending to the neck. Capping out at 48cm in length, adding another 30cm for their tails, they are one of the smallest cat species known. Unfortunately, this species is threatened by habitat loss. Currently being classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN.

Ocicat

Despite their name being taken from ocelots, the ocicats don’t actually share DNA with any wild cats and are only named that due to their appearance being similar. The breed was first established from Siamese cats and Abyssinians. They're medium-large cats with hairs that are banded along the shaft often called Agouti markings. They have large eyes with good spacing with great legs and a long tail. There are 12 colors for the ocicats including lilac, which are actually brown/chocolate ocicats with diluted genetics.

Highlander cat

The highlander cat is a new breed of cat first appearing in 2004, it was an experimental breed by humans to get a unique appearance, crossing the Desert Lynx and Jungle Curl cats, which are also recent cross breeds. The highlander cats have a longer sloping forehead with blunt muzzles and wide eyes. Their best feature in my opinion are their ears being upright and slightly curled at the top. 

Lykoi

Often called the werewolf cats, they come from a natural mutation that occurred over the last 20 or so years, causing hypotricia in domestic short haired cats. The Lykois sometimes shed all their hair and end up looking like Sphynx cats, but they don’t actually carry any DNA from Sphynx and the hair grows back. The missing hair on their faces is what gives them a wolf like appearance. 

Selkirk Rex

Developed in the 1980s in Montana, they’re known for their thick coats and their nature of being social, cuddly, and overall friendly. The first documented litter of this species that has the unique coat was born from a rescued cat named Miss DiPesto, who would become the foundation of the breed as all Selkirk Rex cats can trace their ancestral back to Miss DiPesto. Though multiple other cat species have been bred with them to enhance their appearance.
