Feeding and Nutrition for Cats
Feeding and Nutrition for Cats
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their diet must be rich in animal protein. Kittens need high-protein, calorie-dense food to support growth, while adults benefit from balanced meals designed for energy and health. Senior cats may require food with reduced calories and added supplements for joints and digestion. Always provide fresh water, and avoid dangerous foods like chocolate, onions, and grapes. At Petacular, we stock high-quality dry and wet foods, as well as treats to support training and bonding.

Enrichment and Playtime
Enrichment and Playtime
Enrichment and Playtime
Cats thrive when they can express their natural behaviours. Scratching posts keep claws healthy and protect furniture, while toys such as feather wands, teaser sticks, and puzzle feeders keep cats mentally stimulated. Rotating toys and providing high spaces, such as cat trees or window perches, give them variety and opportunities to climb, jump, and explore. Interactive play strengthens bonds and prevents boredom-related behaviours.

Grooming, Vet Care and Hygiene

Grooming, Vet Care and Hygiene
Regular brushing reduces hairballs and keeps coats smooth. Long-haired breeds require daily grooming, while short-haired cats benefit from weekly brushing. Nail trimming is important for indoor cats, and dental care helps prevent oral disease. Litter trays should be kept clean and placed in quiet, accessible areas. Routine vet visits ensure cats remain healthy, with vaccinations, flea and worm prevention provided year-round. Cats adopted from Petacular come vet-checked, with a free seven-day consult and one month of insurance.
