Am I a bad pet owner?
I found out that cats should eat a diet that fits their biology needs and that dry food is the worst (low moisture, high carbs). Cats eating high protein n moisture, low carbs, have healthier lives, shinier fur, pee smells alright.
So okay, I'll just transition her to wet food. How much should cats eat? Pet canned food says "1 can per 8 lb cat." Looks online. About 30 Cal per lb cat, 330 Cal/day. Canned food is 180 Cal.
😨 HAVE I BEEN STARVING MY CAT? I'VE ONLY FED HER ONE-THIRD CAN EVERY NIGHT. No, I've been free feeding her dry food. Reads label. ONE CUP IS 500 CALORIES. Looks at cat. But vet says she's not under/overweight n pet looks good.
Must search for good food for her. carbs<10%, fat<50%, protein>40%. So hard to find! Wait, website provided nutritional information. Why is the carb% diff from what I calculated? AM I STUPID?
I STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT NOW. I'M FOLLOWING THE EQUATION RIGHT?? Is it just dry matter % or converted to calories? But they should both end being the same???
