Which Cat Food is Best for Fussy Cats?

This is a common question. Cat owners want to know which cat food is best for their fussy cat. However, with the wide range of choices available, it can be hard to know what to pick:

• Grain free or not grain free?
• High meat content?
• Steam cooked biscuits? There are so many options…

In order to help customers decide which cat food is best for their fussy cat, we launched Teepee Connoisseur cat food! Teepee Connoisseur is comparable to other top quality cat foods like Orijen, Acana, Eden and Canagan.

These foods are all cooked by steam and have a high meat content. Furthermore, all are grain free diets. However, where Teepee Connoisseur cat food stands out against these other foods is the lower price. The savings can be quite significant.

High Meat Content is Best!

Teepee Connoisseur Cat food has a 70% meat content. As a result of the steam cooking process, the finished product has a superior taste and smell to tempt even the fussiest of cats! By comparison, many cheap cat foods on the market today only guarantee a minimum of 4% meat content!

Go check the ingredients on the food you are feeding your cat now and see what it says. For further information on the pitfalls of feeding this type of diet, read our article on cheap pet food. You can then decide for yourself which type of cat food is best.

Cats are obligate carnivores. This mean that they require a high level of meat in their diet. With this in mind, it is easy to see why cats fed on lower meat content foods will normally require much larger food portions to satisfy them.

Furthermore, a 2021 study by the University of Exeter found that cats fed a higher meat content diet were less likely to hunt small animals. This reduction in hunting was further supported by increased play and interaction with the cat owner. As a result, their natural urge to hunt is more closely met.

Only the Finest Ingredients for Fussy Cats!

Turkey and Chicken are used as lean sources of protein that are rich in essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are ones that the cat cannot make themselves (or make quickly enough to meet their needs). As a result, they need to have them incorporated into their food to maintain optimum health.

Taurine is one of these key essential amino acid. It is crucial for a number of functions such as heart health, vison, immune system and pregnancy to name but a few. Furthermore, Turkey provides cats with a number of essential nutrients such as Riboflavin, Selenium and Potassium. Chicken provides B-Vitamins and Iron which contribute to general health and well-being.

Teepee Connoisseur cat food is formulated with added cellulose and beet pulp. These ingredients help to reduce hairballs. Furthermore, the addition of prebiotics MOS and FOS improve the cat’s ability to absorb nutrients from their cat food. Finally, dried cranberries are added which support urinary tract health.
