Your Cat

It is essential to gain a full understanding of the types and amounts of food required by the domestic cat , bearing in mind that a cat's dietary needs vary dramatically from those of humans and dogs

Contrary to commonly held views, cats do not have a biological need for variety in their diet. In fact, cats have a poor sense of taste and primarily choose their foods instead using their highly developed sense of smell (500 taste buds for cat compared with 1,700 for a dog and 9,000 for a human being).

Dieticians study the specific needs of cats at various life stages. They then create a food that meets specific nutritional, caloric, digestibility and performance requirements.

But even the most nutritional food is useless if the cat refuses to eat. Therefore, a food's appeal is vital. Royal Canin are well known for their ability to create palatable foods that meet the nutritional needs of individual cats .
