In this lesson, I break down Rule # Two of How to Feed Your Cat into three components, and explain how each component comes together to create this rule, outlining the importance of each one as I go. This includes the reason why you should only used identified animal sources in your cat's diet, why you should ensure the protein is coming from those animals and not plant-based protein boosters, and why it's highly unlikely you are going to "overdo" the amount of protein in your cat's diet.

With so many sources of conflicting, misleading (and let's face it, bad) advice out there on what the best food is, it's no wonder we as pet owners get overwhelmed, confused, or frustrated when trying to determine what to feed our cats. I'm going to make it simple. In this episode, I will provide you with five, universally applicable, simple rules to follow when choosing a diet for your cat. These rules are based not only on personal and professional experience with animal nutrition, but on years of studies and research, confirming what many of us possibly suspected all along. In this five part lesson, I will go over the rules, and then begin delving into them, one by one, starting with the first, and most important nutrition rule for cats!

My second Minisode! I did go a bit over ten minutes here, with my intro and recap, but I did try to keep it pretty short while not missing anything important.
