While there aren’t as many organic cat foods available as there are conventional cat foods, there are some impressive players in the organic cat food market, one of those being Organix Cat Food.
The makers of Organix cat food and cat treats are picky about what goes into their cat food and treats, as are most manufacturers of organic pet foods. They specifically avoid things like antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or GMO’s. They use independent laboratories to test their ingredients before they are allowed into production, and they also test their final products before their organic cat food is finally approved for sale.
One thing I like about this organic cat food is that their primary formulas are all stages cat foods. This makes it a lot easier to feed a household of cats of varying ages, from young to old. The other thing that is nice about this brand is you can actually recognize the ingredients on the label because they focus on whole food ingredients and they avoid those cheap fillers.

More people are looking into raw food diets for cats as they start to think more seriously about what their cats are eating and what they feel they should be eating. Our pets are part of the family and with a combination of concerns about ingredients used in commercial pet foods and thoughts of a more species appropriate diet it makes sense that more people are considering this type of cat food.
You can either choose to use homemade cat food recipes and make the food yourself or you can buy it premade from pet food companies that specialize in this. A raw food diet isn’t as simple as giving your cat a raw chicken breast; cats need other nutrients as well so it is best to follow an approved recipe or to buy already prepared raw cat food. The benefit of making it yourself is that you can control the ingredients and make your own organic cat food if you want, or you can add specific ingredients to improve your cat’s health.
Proponents of this type of diet feel it is more natural than feeding your cat processed dry kibble. Of course there are concerns about salmonella in raw food, but the concerns may be more valid for the way you handle the food than for your cat.
