Do you know what your cat is eating? Do you buy the cat food whose advertisement jingle is still playing reruns in your mind or do you take your time to research what your cat will eat? If you want to improve your feline's diet, look into buying organic cat food. Organic foods not only taste better to your cat, but also are higher in nutritional content.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Begin your search for organic cat foods with companies that offer organic food. Save yourself time in your organic cat food search by eliminating those who do not claim their food to be organic.

  2. Step 2

    Read the ingredients. The list of ingredients may not be the determining factor of whether the cat food is organic, but if the ingredients list well-known non-organic items, you know that the food is not organic.

  3. Step 3

    Research the organic cat food manufacturer. Go to their website. Read about their philosophy. If the website does not adequately provide the information you're looking for, contact them and ask questions.

  4. Step 4

    Talk to other organic cat food buyers. Check out forums, blogs and online communities. Cat lovers love to share quality cat food information.

  5. Step 5

    Get advice from your vet. Even if your vet does not use organic cat food, there's a chance that at least one of the vet's patients has shared information about organic cat food.

  6. Step 6

    Challenge long-time leaders in the organic cat food market. They may be leaders in the market, but for your cat's benefit, make sure the manufacturers are not resting on their laurels. Read the ingredients and ask questions to help you feel confident about buying their product.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not confuse the word "natural" for "organic." Natural refers to non-synthetic or non-artificial. Organic refers to the conditions under which an animal is raised or a crop is grown. Something that is natural may not be organic.
