Every cat is unique. Each has their own special character, likes, dislikes, and needs. And just like humans, cats have specific nutritional requirements too.  Did you know that a cat must obtain 41 different specific nutrients from his food alone? A lot can depend on age, lifestyle and health. It's not surprising therefore that a growing, energetic kitten needs a different balance in her diet than a less active senior cat. Most manufactured pet foods now offer an increasing range of special recipes designed to meet the precise and varying needs of different cats. So you can be sure you're getting the balance right for your cat.
