Adult Cat Food
$32.99 – $63.99
Description
“All cats require taurine, an amino acid that is important for normal heart function, vision, and reproduction. Although most mammals can make taurine from other amino acids in the body, cats cannot. Since taurine is found only in animal based protein, all cats need meat based diets to meet their nutritional requirements.”
-ASPCA
Protein is essential in any cats diet. The 30% protein in Petworth’s formula for adult cats comes from Chicken, Eggs, Herring, and Tuna so your cat gets a complete range of amino acids plus a extra taurine. In addition to a little extra taurine, we add cranberry to maintain a healthy urinary tract. Mixed tocoperols, a natural Vitamin E, rounds off the formula by preserving all the quality ingredients. Petworth Adult Cat Food is nutritionally complete and balanced for healthy and happy cats with beautiful coats.
Free feeding is widely used and recommended. If free feeding is not your desired feeding choice, follow the suggestions below.

How Much Water Does My Cat Need?
As your cat consumes more calories and produces more metabolic waste, he needs more water to maintain his body temperature. In general, an adult cat should drink roughly the same amount of water (in milliliters) as the number of kilocalories eaten per day. Dry cat food contains 7 percent to 12 percent water, while canned food can measure up to 80 percent water. Cats who eat only dry food don’t get as much water from their food as those who eat canned food, and should always have easy access to clean, drinking water to supplement their intake.
How Can I Prevent Dehydration?
- Provide clean water for your cat at all times, and change it frequently to ensure freshness. Also, don’t forget to wash your pet’s water bowl every day to prevent bacteria from forming.
- Observe your cat to determine his preference for obtaining water. Some cats prefer certain bowls, while others like either tap or bottled water. Other cats prefer water fountains that can be found at many pet stores. Try placing multiple bowls of water around the house for easier access.
