Cat

Cats are one of the most popular household pets in the UK for a reason: they’re small, cute, independent, and they live a healthy lifespan of 12 to 18 years.

Some of the most popular cat breeds in the UK include British Shorthairs, Maine Coons and Bengals. While many simply buy domestic ‘moggies’, breeds are sought-after for their unique appearance and hereditary traits.

Bengals, which descend from domestic cats bred with Asian leopard cats, are popular for their energy and playfulness, while the sleepy British Shorthair breed is best known for its stocky frame and cuddly personality.

Domestic cats are obligate carnivores, which means their bodies run best when they eat only meat and meat-derived products. Commercial cat food is designed not just to provide all the protein and fat that your cat needs to thrive, but also to ensure they get the essential minerals like taurine and calcium.
