The Myth of the Sour Puss

You’ve probably heard that cats are aloof, but that’s not always the case. They can be affectionate, playful and highly attached to their owners, much like a dog. It’s just that cats are at a disadvantage versus dogs because they don’t have the facial physiology that lets their canine counterparts “smile” all the time.

So, don’t be fooled — cats are not only happy, but also immensely talented at bringing joy to their humans. In the market for crazy antics one minute, soft cuddles the next? Cats are a low-risk, high-yield investment in complex personalities.

The Good Feeling of Doing Good

With any cat adoption, you are literally saving that animal’s life. Plus, you’re supporting the organization you adopt from, which in turn allows them to help more animals in need, so you’re basically a hero. And all these good feelings happen before you even bring your new kitty home!

Scratching that Itch for Cat Companionship

Who couldn’t use another friend? Especially one that’s a furry, adorable biscuit factory. Research shows that having a cat can reduce stress and increase confidence, and it’s hard to beat quality time with a cat for anxiety relief. Journalist Jane Pauley once said, “You cannot look at a sleeping cat and feel tense.”

The Pitter-Patter of Tiny Feet and Tinier Paws

Adopting a cat can be a great move for children, too. There’s no better way to nurture values such as responsibility and empathy than with a frolicky, purrmotored pal. A survey of parents found that children who had bonded with a feline friend enjoy a higher quality of life. (They wanted to survey the cats too, but there was a sunny spot on the carpet that needed to be napped in, so …)

Cats are amazing. They entertain us by defying gravity and contorting themselves into spine-twisting postures. An inquisitive meow or a nudge with their head can totally banish a bad mood. They are the perfect companion to all. If you’re thinking about adding a cute, flu'y, serotonin-boosting kitty cat, this is your sign: Do it!

    The Role of Protein, Fat, and Fiber in Your Cat's Diet

    • Share

    Not all protein sources are the same. Cats are carnivores, and IAMS™ cat food contains animal-based proteins that provide all the essential amino acid requirements for cats. We use only high-quality, highly digestible protein sources.

     

    Unique Fatty Acids in Our Foods

    Fatty acids are a key part of complete cat nutrition. They maintain healthy skin, a shiny coat, proper membrane structure, and overall health. All IAMS products contain sources of these fatty acids.

     

    Moderately Fermentable Fiber

    Our research has shown that moderately fermentable fiber enhances intestinal health. All IAMS cat foods contain a fiber system of moderately fermentable fiber to help keep your cat's digestive system healthy, providing energy for intestinal cells and bulk for mobility.
