The back of this little text says "Cats are special." Cats are obligate carnivores, which means we need to go out hunting and gathering to a suburban shop to match or find the prey that nature built them to eat. This can be a challenge if your shop does not sell live rodents and small reptiles. Then some cats get seriously addicted to the first food they were fed when they were weaned and if this was processed, dried food high in carbohydrate and chemicals, it may not be the best food for them. This diet may have caused them health problems, but how do you convince your cat to change her views on what food is?

Read more in the book as Clare answers these questions. chapters include what not to feed cats, what to feed cats with arthritis, cats with cancer etc

What people have said about this book:

"I love this book! Clare's caring nature towards cat's and deep understanding of their needs is clearly articulated in 'Real Cat Food'. Her no nonsense approach to veterinary medicine provides a well researched, scientifically sound understanding of the nutritional requirements of the cat, delivered in an easy to read and implementable program for cat owners. It contains excellent information on feeding and treating cats with serious disease conditions". Dr Jodi Ruckley
“I can’t put the book down. It is SO well written! I am so glad I can study up on what I need to feed my kittens, before they arrive home.” Rosemary Tingley

About Dr Clare Middle

I am not associated with a veterinary hospital, and work from a private consulting room in Balingup, Western Australia, using classical homoeopathy, herbs, kinesiology and flower essences.

I am particularly interested in setting up a healthy lifetime for young animals using diet and minimal drugs. This interest includes keeping up with recent research into vaccination protocols and advising clients on optimizing the combination of minimal safe conventional vaccination with alternatives.

In 2004 I sold the East Fremantle Veterinary Clinic, where I had increasingly incorporated natural therapies into a standard vet clinic environment. However, I found that I could not with full conscience continue to provide standard vaccination, drug and dried pet food protocols, so I have set up a natural therapies only consulting room, which will hopefully be complementary to existing conventional vet clinics, providing clients and vets with a holistic choice for companion animals.
