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.
The only thing better than owning a cat is owning more than one cat. While a multiple-cat household means additional snuggles and cuddles, it can also mean a little extra work when it comes to mealtime. Fear not! We’ve assembled this tasty buffet of tips to help make sure all your feline companions get the proper amount of food and nutrition.
Similar to their humans, cats’ diets vary for a number of reasons.
Now, how can you make sure each cat is eating the right food come suppertime?
Make any changes to your cats’ diets gradually over the course of several days. This will help reduce stomach issues or requests to “speak with the manager.”
Instead of setting up a 24-hour buffet, schedule regular times for dining. This helps ensure your cats are hungry when it’s time to eat and won’t steal from anyone else’s dish throughout the day.
The best way to prevent fights over food or other eating issues is to keep an eye on your cats when you feed them. You’ll be certain everyone is getting a proper meal, and you’ll get some extra time to hang out together.
Try feeding each cat in a different room, putting their food bowls far apart or separating eating spaces with a barrier like a baby gate, trash can or chair.
Another option is to put one cat’s meal on the floor and the other’s on a countertop. This works well if one of your cats is older or heavier and can’t make the leap.
Your furry friends might not take to these changes immediately, but kind words, your ongoing affection and judicious use of treats will go a long way toward having them accept a new mealtime routine.
