Cats have specific dietary needs that are different from humans and other pets. Feeding a diet that meets these needs is crucial for keeping her healthy. Look for foods that are marked as 'complete and balanced' by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials), as they meet the nutritional requirements to maintain your cat's health.
