    Cattitude - Episode 312 Cats Aren't Small Dogs! A Chef's Recipe for Better Feline Health

    This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Chef Scot Hill of Wolf Creek, a professional chef for 35 years who traded the restaurant kitchen for the world of pet wellness—and is now turning his attention to cats with the launch of Feline Foundation. Chef Scot explains why cats aren't simply smaller versions of dogs, from their unique digestive physiology and status as obligate carnivores to their need for animal protein, taurine, proper hydration and feline-specific nutritional support. Michelle and Chef Scot dig into the fascinating connection between gut health and a cat's immune system, skin, coat, behavior and overall wellness, while revealing subtle signs that your cat's digestive system may be out of balance. They also cut through misleading pet-food marketing buzzwords, explain what pet parents should really look for on ingredient labels, and explore why cats may not actually be “finicky” eaters—they may just know more about what they need than we give them credit for! Plus, Chef Scot shares the surprising lessons he's learned by watching animals instinctively select herbs and reveals the mysterious neighborhood “Ghost” who just might turn this lifelong chef into a cat dad. It's a deliciously informative episode that serves up a fresh perspective on what we put in our cats' bowls. EPISODE NOTES: Cats Aren't Small Dogs!
