| How Do We Feed Our Cats? Summer 07' By Pat Knipplemeyer of PK Pixie-Bobs Photo courtesy of Baylynx Pixie-Bobs |
Most Pixie-Bobs have a high metabolism so they require the ability to graze on their food. Some people and vets do not understand the build of our Pixie-Bobs and feel that when the primordial belly appears that the cats has to be overweight and is getting too fat so they put them on a diet. WRONG! Our Vets need to better understand the Pixie-Bob and how they are built. A primordial belly is a good thing, strong muscles and heavy bones is what we should have in our cats.
Free feeding is not a bad thing with a Pixie-Bob it is a necessity so health, happiness and lots of enjoyment can be achieved. I do have to admit that I have rarely seen a Pixie-Bob with a weight issue, mostly because of the type of free feed they are given.
I have written about this before but I feel it is necessary to touch on it again. CATS ARE OBGILATE CARNIVORES; GET THEM OFF THE GRAINS. GRAINS ARE WHAT IS MAKING THEM FAT NOT FREE FEEDING!
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me at: pkpixies1@cs.com
Until next time, keep those suggestions coming in on other subjects you would like me to write on.
Thanks for listening,
