Feline Diabetes Is Not A Cat And Mouse Game

Sunday, 16 August 2009

Your pet is caught in a serious type of disease!

And do not be under the impression that this disease is the 'privilege' of human beings alone!

Feline Diabetes is one of the most common feline endocrine diseases. Its direct link is to the high carbohydrate diet of dry food. Many canned foods contain too many carbohydrates
which your cat may eat with great speed and gusto; but your poor choices
will definitely damage the health of your pet. Cats by nature are obligate carnivores and their system
as created by the nature is not suitable for a carbohydrate diet. Just don't put anything and everything before your cat. Understand its requirements
from its biological point of view. Feline Diabetes is not a cat and mouse game.

Cats and insulin shots...sounds odd? But
it's true.

If the diabetic condition in your cat is a longstanding one
then insulin shots are necessary. Once you start giving it the low carbohydrate diet
and once the cats recoup their original health
no further insulin shots are required.

“Feeding a diabetic cat with a high-carbohydrate diet is analogous to pouring gasoline on a fire and wondering why you can't put it out.”

There are two types of diabetes - Type I and Type II. Type II is the more common
both in humans and in cats. But the cat has a unique metabolism.

Cats are obligate carnivores and are adapted to consume a diet that is high in protein
moderate in fat
and include a very small amount of carbohydrates (roughly 3 to 5%). Since nature designed them thus
cats do not have many of the important enzymes that are necessary to process these types of foods.

So
it is not sufficient that you love your cat. You have to understand the cat and its food habits! The food you give to your cat can put it in its grave!
