Are you a “cat person?” Ask anyone who keeps a cat what it is that they like best about their feline companion, and they will probably tell you that cats have a certain dignity. Even an affectionate cat is independent, elegant, and just a little bit wild. At night, while dogs sleep in front of the fireplace, cats have a secret life outside the family home, and go out and explore the neighbourhood. Cats can clean, feed and protect themselves, and sleep when and where they like… sometimes it’s almost as if they were the masters and we, their human companions, the pets!

However, even the most independent cat relies on his or her owner to provide everything that is vital to life. Every cat has a lot to give to the right owner, and is a fun and affectionate companion in their own way. In return, all they ask for from you is shelter, care, and- most importantly of all- food. The food you choose for your cat or kitten is vital to their growth and wellbeing; after all, your pet’s diet is the key to their health, and a healthy cat is a happy cat. Your cat or kitten may be independent, but to stay free and independent they need you to choose the right food for them.

Hill’s pets have been making specialised food for cats and kittens since 1939, and they believe that good cat nutrition is the key to a healthy, happy cat. Your pet’s diet is important; even the most independent cat relies on its owner to feed it well, and a nourishing balanced pet diet will keep your cat doing what cats do best: whatever they like, whenever they like, wherever they like.
