Canned foods are also lower in carbohydrates and can be especially beneficial for acts with urinary issues, diabetes and other illnesses as well as in the prevention and treatment of feline obesity.
Habitat:
Feral Cats are known to live in cities, forests, grasslands, farmlands, tundra, wetlands and scrub lands. The domestic cat lives on every continent except Antarctica and can be found in 118 of the 131 island groups. The domestic cat first seemed to originate from the African Wildcat (Felis Lybica) which evolved to live in hot and dry climates.
