In this article is goes over the important of a balanced nutritional diet for cats. They talk about the different diets there are. How much a cat should eat throughout the different stages of their lives. The different between dry and wet cat food. The different ingredients found in cat food and if it is good or harmful for cats.

In this article it does go over both dogs and cats, but I will be focusing on the cat aspect of it. The main topic is about raw meet. Whether it is more beneficial or harmful to their diets. They do a in-depth dive into the definition of raw meat diets. The one thing that I like about this article is goes over why the pet owner would choose a raw meat diet over generic cat food.
