Natural cat health is all about looking to nature to provide the answers to your questions. Nature has perfected every aspect of health care. Wild cats are healthy and never suffer from the crippling diseases their domestic cousins do. They can suffer from a lack of food, from injuries and territorial squabbles, but debilitating disease is definitely not on nature's agenda.
With this firmly in mind, it indicates there are at least three possible areas that cause your cat's ill health.
* diet
* health care
* environmental issues
One of the most effective and fastest ways to turn your cat's health around is to feed her a diet similar to that of her wild cousins. Now, you may not be interested in going out to catch mice, especially if you're out at work all day. But the diet doesn't have to be identical, just similar.
Take the essential points out, and compromise in other, less important areas. For example, a wild cats diet is essentially quality raw meat and bones. Mostly from animals their own size or smaller.
So by feeding your cat quality, human grade food from lamb, chicken and rabbit, you're not far off the mark. Even beef is OK as long as it's quality meat and raw.
However, the bones do need to be the small ones found in chicken necks or chicken wings. Bigger bones may chip their teeth.
Natural health care is all about keeping a strong immune system. This is not achieved by drugs and vaccines. This can only be achieved by good food and a happy, healthy environment.
Try to use only those modalities of health care which support your cat's immune system, rather than depress it. Homeopathy, probably one of the most effective and affordable health care systems, works by doing just that.
A healthy environment is essential to cat health, whether natural or not. This includes access to the sun, stimulating play, a happy household, a toxic free house and garden, ability to get away from the family when necessary and access to healthy water.
Combine these three areas for good, natural cat health and you will be rewarded by a healthy cat and a load off your wallet.
Natural Cat Health - Three Areas to Target
Posted by NewbyDiscover the Secrets to Natural Cat Health
Posted by NewbyThe secrets to natural cat health lies in two essential areas - their diet and their health care. If one of these areas are not fully addressed, then your cat's health is likely to suffer.
First lets look at a natural diet. A wild cat, ancestors of your domestic cat, evolved over millions of years on a diet of freshly killed prey animals similar in size to them. They ate the whole carcass, including all the meat, the organs, the bones, the stomach contents, sometimes the feet, tail and head, too, if hungry enough.
Despite your possibly differing views, you can't get any more natural than this. This should be the basis of your cats diet - quality raw meat, organ meat, bones and perhaps a little plant matter.
By virtue of its daily consumption, the right cat food is of supreme importance in your cat's natural good health.
In contrast, the commercial and processed cat food that is sold so widely, is cooked (so destroying and altering much of the nutrients), comes from dubious sources (such as road kill, euthanased animals, rejects from slaughter houses), lacks a natural balance (usually high in fat and cheap filler) and has added toxic chemicals (preservatives, colour, appetite stimulants, synthetic nutrients).
The second most important aspect of natural cat health is the health care modality you use. Natural health care works by gently stimulating the immune system to work how it was meant to work. It has the ability to remove the blockages that prevent the immune system working. It works in accordance with natural laws.
Homeopathy is one of the most effective and deep acting natural health care modalities there is. You can learn to use some of the most common home prescribing medicines at home. And you can use the skill of professional homeopaths for those stubborn and deep seated conditions that are beyond the scope of a home prescriber.
In contract, veterinary drugs and vaccines mostly suppress the immunity of your cat, going against natural laws.
