Holistic cat food is the absence of unnatural ingredients in the food. Unnatural ingredients are not good for your cat so he will definitely benefit from better food.
One of the reasons cats live such a short time is because most cat food produces don't make nutritious food.
A normal cat only lives to about the age of nine but the natural life span for cats is around twenty eight years. One of the contributing factors for how long a cat lives is the nutrition of the food he eats. The majority of the commercial food is no better for your cat then feeding him Twinkies.
Just imagine what would happen to you if you ate nothing but junk food for the next nine years.
Anything holistic means that it is void of all artificial ingredients. The thing about cat food is that even if it says that it is holistic that does not automatically mean that it is good for your cat. The cat food companies have different laws they follow then food for human consumption does.
That means that if the meat (I'm using that term loosely) was brought to the plant with preservatives in it that they could still claim that it is preservative free. By law this is okay for them to do.
What they consider meat for cat food is another problem. Animals put down at the pound, parts of cows not usable for us, and road kill are all used for the meat and meat byproducts.
The poison that is used when they put down the dogs and cats does not cook out at the temperatures that the processing plant uses. That means that you may very well be slowly poisoning your cat.
So what should you do?
One of the things you could do is to start making your cat homemade cat food. While this might sound like a time consuming option it really isn't. When your cat starts getting the proper nutrition he will eat less food so you will only need to feed your cat once a day.
