For all you cat lover's out there, I don't have to tell you how important their health is and how much what they eat means for their well-being. I was lucky enough to be given a 9Lives Advanced Nutrient System Prize Pack from 9Lives through
My Blog Spark. The prize pack contained a package of the 9Lives Daily Essentials dry food, a magnetic frame, pet food scoop, and cat toys. I received this last Friday and immediately started using it. My cats all seem to love the dry cat food, matter of fact they all clean their bowls pretty fast. They have in the past been picky eaters. I went to the store yesterday and got another bag of it. I also put out the toys for them to play with and they love the squeaky toy that we received so much so that they fight each other for it. I would definitely say that the prize pack was a hit in my house.
Here is some info that was provided for me to share with you.
A survey of feline pet parents across the country commissioned by 9Lives found that an overwhelming 94 percent of cat owners are confident they feed their felines the most nutritious meals possible. However, nearly half (48 percent) admit they’ve fed their cats table scraps – which do not provide the essential nutrients cats need – an average seven times per month. Additionally, only 30 percent know that giving your cat milk may not be a healthy practice due to the common incidence of lactose intolerance in adult cats.1
Additional findings include:
23% of American pet parents think it’s beneficial to keep their cats on a purely vegetarian diet, while actually it may be harmful2
There are a number of foods that feline parents assume are healthy for cats, but are actually not advantageous to their health including root vegetables (73%), green tomatoes (54%), and raw potatoes (50%)3
Nine out of ten feline pet parents would be willing to switch foods if they knew it would provide better nutrition. In fact:
- 92 percent of cat owners would switch foods if it would improve their cat’s health, and
- 91 percent would switch food if they could add years onto their feline’s life
In an effort to educate pet parents about the common misperceptions of proper feline nutrition, 9Lives is committed to raising awareness to this issue by providing advanced nutrition for all cats. With the 9Lives Advanced Nutrient System, feline parents everywhere can rest assured knowing their cats are getting the essential nutrients they need to help promote healthy skin and coat, strong muscle growth and a healthy immune system among other benefits.
