Food
Feline nutritional needs and diet much depend on whether our cat is an outdoor or exclusively indoor cat. The demand for energy increases in proportion to the amount of time spent outside and also depends on the ‘territory’ explored by our kitty. Weather conditions are also of importance here, as the diet of outdoor cats who stay indoors during the winter should be adjusted properly. Similarly, ill and ageing cats require appropriate diet because they have different nutritional needs.
Basics
Cats should be fed at fixed times. In general, they get used to the daily routine quite quickly and dislike any changes. Even entirely outdoor cats have their habits, e.g. farm cats know the schedule for milking cows and when the hour approaches the will show up in the same place waiting for a bowl of nice fresh milk.
There is a good point to it. A cat fed on a fixed schedule will not wander around looking for food between the meals.
It is also very important to choose a good location for your cat’s eating area. It should be nowhere near the litter tray. Also a bowl with fresh water should stand at least a meter or two away.
Cats should not be disturbed when eating. They like to enjoy their food, and in order to do so, they need peace.
The bowl should be of the size of one portion, have a wide, stable base and a non-slip bottom. If you have two cats, make sure there are two separate bowls for them. You will avoid unnecessary envy and fighting over the food.
Another important thing to remember when feeding your cat is that the food should have the right 
Bad meat may contain pathogenic germs; chicken bones cause constipation and their bits and pieces can lacerate feline digestive system very seriously; dog food will not meet the cat’s requirement for proteins, and finally sweets such as chocolate are toxic to cats.
Fresh water should be available to cats at all times.
Finally, cats should not eat food from your hand. They will get used to it quickly and start to ignore their bowl. Of course mature or sick cats are a different case.
Hunting games
Indoor cats have little opportunity to use their basic instinct – hunting. Try creating a hunting environment, in which dry food will become the prey. Toss the food and encourage your cat to “hunt” it. The good thing about this or any type of play is that even the biggest couch potatoes will get some exercise.
