Hi everyone, We’re adopting a new kitten today (a country breed), and I’ve been thinking about sustainable food options for her. I have a question I'd love your input on. Veterinarians often recommend commercial cat food brands like Whiskas, but I’ve seen many house cats happily eating home-cooked food. I personally believe that animals, like us, can thrive on what nature provides and may not necessarily need processed food. That said, I’m open to learning more, and I feel this is the right place to ask! Please feel free to correct my understanding or share your experiences—especially when it comes to balancing nutrition and sustainability. Thanks in advance!
