A balanced, nutrient-rich diet can do more than keep your cat healthy — it can boost their mood, energy, and long-term well-being.
From Omega-3s to psyllium husk, discover the mood-boosting ingredients that make every mealtime a moment of love for your cat.
When it comes to your feline friend’s well-being, food isn’t just fuel, it’s mood medicine. Science has long shown a strong connection between the gut and brain in humans, and it’s no different for cats. The nutrients they consume directly influence not only their physical health but also their emotional balance.
“I believe that every mealtime is an opportunity to show your love for your pet. When we choose the right food, be it dry or wet, it goes beyond just nutrition, subtly shaping your cat’s mood, behaviour, and overall wellbeing. That’s exactly what Purrfeto aims to deliver with every bowl,” says Dr Akanksha Diwakar, Veterinarian, Marketing Head, Pet Division, Allana Group.
The Nutrients That Matter
Certain essential nutrients Omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and amino acids like DL methionine play a vital role in a cat’s overall health and happiness. Since cats cannot synthesise these naturally, their diet must provide them. A well-balanced formula containing these nutrients supports long-term well-being, and can help reduce the risk of urinary tract disease (UTD) and hairball formation, both common feline concerns.
Building the Perfect Plate
A good starting point is to centre your cat’s diet on wholesome ingredients such as rice, chicken, and fish. These provide essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and macronutrients for healthy growth and vitality. To make meals even more enriching, add eggs, cranberries, peas, and carrots foods that boost muscle development and keep your cat active and alert throughout the day.
The Power of Special Additives
When selecting commercial cat food, look for products enriched with DL methionine, psyllium husk, and antioxidants. Psyllium husk, a natural source of fibre, promotes digestive health and helps prevent hairballs. DL methionine has been shown to reduce the risk of UTD by up to 40%, particularly important for grooming-heavy breeds. Antioxidants, meanwhile, help strengthen immunity and maintain long-term vitality.
By paying close attention to your cat’s diet, you’re doing more than just feeding them, you’re nurturing their mind, body, and spirit. After all, a happy cat isn’t just the result of cuddles and playtime; it often starts with what’s in their bowl.
