Your cat won’t tell you when dinner’s wrong. They’ll just stop eating, start scratching more, or lose that glossy coat you love.
Cats need proper nutrition at every stage of life, and choosing the right food can mean the difference between a healthy, energetic companion and one that’s constantly under the weather.
Boneve premium cat nutrition is made to match what cats actually need, built around their biological requirements.
What Cats Actually Need
Cats are cute and fluffy but their bodies are wired to extract nutrition from prey, not processed grains or plant proteins. Understanding these core nutritional needs helps you spot quality food that’s good for their overall health.
Protein
Cats are obligate carnivores, which means their bodies are designed to run on meat. They can’t synthesise certain amino acids from plant sources like dogs or humans can, so they need real animal protein to survive. High-protein freeze-dried cat food gives what their bodies need to thrive.
Fat
Quality fats from animal sources power everything from daily energy levels to brain function. That silky, glossy coat you love? That comes from proper fat intake too. Cats also need specific fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 that only animal fats provide in the right ratios.
Fibre
A small amount keeps digestion running smoothly and helps prevent hairballs. Cats only need minimal fibre since their short digestive tracts are built to process meat, not plants.
Vitamins and minerals
B vitamins for energy, taurine for heart health, calcium for bones. Cats must have these to survive, and deficiencies show up fast in poor coat quality, lethargy, or worse. Unlike dogs, cats can’t make taurine themselves, so it has to come from their food.
A kitten burning through calories needs different food than a senior cat who naps 20 hours a day. And if your cat has sensitive digestion, joint problems, or skin issues, you’ll need functional ingredients for cat health that target those specific needs.
Different Diets for Cats in Singapore
Cats have wildly different nutritional needs depending on their age, breed, activity level, and health conditions. What works brilliantly for a hyperactive kitten might leave a senior cat feeling sluggish. Let’s break down the types of food available for your cat and how to choose wisely.
Kibble
Convenient, shelf-stable, and easy to portion out for busy cat owners. Cats who prefer nibbling throughout the day do well on kibble since it sits in the bowl without spoiling. Just check the ingredient list to make sure real meat comes first, not fillers like corn or wheat.
Canned food
Higher moisture content helps cats stay hydrated since most cats don’t drink enough water on their own. The rich aroma and soft texture work wonders for fussy eaters and senior cats dealing with dental problems. Just watch out! Once you pop that tin open, it spoils fast in Singapore’s heat, so portion carefully.
Raw meals
Mimics what cats would eat in the wild, complete with organs and bone for natural nutrition. Many pet parents report shinier coats and better digestion once their cats adjust. It needs freezer space and careful handling to keep it fresh in Singapore’s humid climate.
Freeze-dried
Combines the nutritional benefits of raw food with the convenience of kibble. Lightweight, nutrient-dense, and cats love the taste once you rehydrate it with water. Perfect for Singapore’s compact kitchens where freezer space runs out fast.
Home-cooked
Gives you complete control over what goes into your cat’s bowl, which is brilliant if they react badly to certain ingredients. You can tailor every meal to match exactly what your cat needs. Just make sure you do your homework first or chat with your vet about getting the balance right, because missing something crucial like taurine can lead to serious health problems down the line.
Mixing kibble and freeze-dried meals for cats gives your cat access to a wider range of nutrients than feeding just one type. Sprinkle Boneve freeze-dried products over regular kibble when your cat needs extra protein. You can also toss some kibble into a freeze-dried meal when you want to add crunch and variety. Your cat benefits from both food types working together, filling gaps that a single diet might miss.
