Natural cat food, is it really all natural?

Many people seem to be desperately looking for all natural cat food for their cats by fear of possible bad side effects of chemical additions usually found in commercial cat food.

The question of whether the cat foods being consumed are natural is definitely a false question! what matters most is the quality of the cat food! some vitamin additions for example can indeed be very good for your cat, although it is not natural! my thought is that if you are to purchase commercial (canned or dry) cat food, quality should be your main concern as there is almost no such thing as all natural cat food in the market, unless you made it in your kitchen by yourself.

One additional remark is that you are a lot more likely to find near natural wet cat food than natural dry products!

The best natural cat food you can make will be something using meat and meat byproducts, rice, cooked eggs, probably some cheese, ... etc. You can find a lot of natural cat food recipes in this blog!

How to build a cat tree?

Cats are very playful animals, and as you may have noticed they love to climb all kinds of surfaces but rarely find suitable places to play.

Cat trees are specially crafted materials made for cats to climb and to play with. Even though you can purchase a cat tree online, it is probably not the best cost effective option as it is not so hard to make one! you only need to have good plans to work with and some spare time.

Good plans are needed because many people have built cat trees in the past and observed how cats interacted with it and then modified the trees to optimize them with the cat behavior so that the cat likes it best. By following a plan, you benefit from the experience of other skillful builders who have already gone through the process of building a cat tree over and over.

Until recently good plans where scarce in the internet and one could hardly find anything worth working with. Luckily a cat tree maker has released now a package containing plenty of plans backed with tutorials and construction guideline.
