Cats are obligate carnivores, relying on meat for essential nutrients like taurine and vitamin A. Fruits are generally unnecessary and some, like grapes, raisins, citrus, or avocado, can be toxic. Small, seedless melon pieces are usually safe, but offer minimal nutritional benefit. Dr Duncan Houston recommends sticking to meat-based foods and cat-safe treats. Always supervise any new foods and consult your vet to ensure a balanced, healthy diet for your feline friend in 2025.

The articles come from the questions owners ask in the consult room and the cases that arrive at night. Each one says what the behaviour or the sign usually means, what to do at home, and the point at which home stops being the right place. Where a PURRZ™ product is relevant it is named and linked.
