Interesting Facts

1/6/2014

 
A market research firm working on behalf of Royal Canin reported some interesting facts after polling 541 cat owners:

 -Nearly 50% brought their pet home without researching its lifestyle.
 -61% believed that cats adapt easily to an owners lifestyle.
-A majority of respondents were unaware that cats are active every day, marking                     territory,hunting, and hiding.
-Half did not think of their cat's health each day
-72% di not think of their cat's health when selecting food
-93% do not consider breed when selecting food.
-More than half ignored their cat's age when selecting food.
-42% considered flavor to be important when selecting food
-15% admitted taste-testing cat food.

In reality, a cat's ability to taste is not nearly as powerful as a human's ability, and aroma and texture play a much bigger role in how cats choose food.  Remember, choose, no grain, moist foods for the majority of the menu.  Use dry food for rewards, games, and hunting experiences!
