The ,dry 4.nd semi-moist cat foods are manufaCtured to supply the entire nutrient' requirementS of cats, and these tend to bethe most economical diets to feed. Variety of diet should be encouraged and 'clean, fresh, water. should be readily available,to the animal at all times. Furthermore, in order for ,a eat to be an acceptable house pet, neutering is required. Male cats fight, spray and develop a very pffensive odour.
