About the Cat Nutrition Quiz
Cats are obligate carnivores requiring quality protein and taurine.
Nine feline nutrition domains evaluated. Not a diagnosis.
Common Signs of Nutritional Imbalance in Cats
Watch for:
- Visible ribs or weight gain
- Dull or greasy coat
- Low energy or reduced play
- Soft stool or constipation
- Constant begging
- Food refusal over 24 hours
- Too little or too much drinking
- Weight gain on measured portions
- Urinary straining or frequent litter visits
How This Cat Nutrition Assessment Works
Four profiles: Balanced, Weight Concern, Hydration Risk, Taurine Deficiency.
Understanding Your Cat's Nutrition Profile
Highest profile indicates pattern.
Nutritionally complete diet with appropriate portions.
Treats or free-feeding may cause weight issues.
Dry-only diets often mean under-hydration.
Ensure AAFCO/FEDIAF complete cat food.
