There are at least three ways to prevent cancer in cats. The three that are detailed here are the most important ones. And they are the most important ones for keeping your cat healthy, not just cancer free. Since cancer is one of the most destructive problems to have, it makes sense that all the other lesser issues, will also remain at bay. 

Diet is king! By its daily consumption, diet is the most important of all the ways to prevent disease, especially the chronic, rare and new diseases that keep cropping up.

Most people feed their cats some commercial brand of cat food. They reason that the food is ‘grain free’ or ‘top of the range’. The brands try to convince you by pretty pictures, expensive adverts and important sounding words, such as ‘scientific’, ‘natural’ ‘recommended by veterinarians’. Basically, they’ll all empty words.

Grain free doesn’t mean the food doesn’t have other plant based food. And since vets are trained by Big Pet Food, they have a bias, so that doesn’t mean anything either.

The thing is, cats are true carnivores. They can only flourish on a diet of raw meat and bones.

Not just that, wild cats will only eat what they kill, so the food is VERY fresh. This is the main reason why cats are notoriously known as fussy eaters.

In addition, cats come from the arid areas of the world, so are not natural drinkers. Instead, they rely on the blood of their prey for all their liquid needs.

Being true (or obligate) carnivores, cats don’t have the complex livers to digest the mild poisons found in all plants, that omnivores and herbivores can easily handle. This means all plant based food (and medicine, such as herbs) is toxic to cats.

Now look at the ingredients in commercial cat food. Various plant based food is the bulk of the food. Why? Because it’s cheap as chips. Meat is expensive. What little meat is there is the off cuts from the more lucrative human market. To boot, storage of this is unhygienic - and that’s an under statement. 

There is even plant based food in many of the growing raw cat food brands.

The manufacturers are well aware that this all makes for non-nutritious food, so they try to make it better by adding in supplements. But they are invariably the cheap (and toxic) synthetic ones masquerading as food. Cats are much more sensitive to these chemicals in food than we are.

Changing the diet to a raw meat and bones diet. in keeping with a wild cat’s diet, allows your cat’s health to flourish.

Not only are vets trained by Big Pet Food, they’re also trained by Big P-harma. Big p-harma has only one agenda - to sell as many drugs as possible, by any means. So instead of vets being advocates for your pet, they’re advocates for industry. They’re pushers. Maybe respectable pushers, but pushers nonetheless.

And yet the public have complete faith in them. As oncologist Patrick Quillin PhD tells it, the public have a naive reliance on medicine.

All drugs are synthetic. All suppress the immune system. It’s just the way of a profession who has been bought and paid for by industry. Their way is to manage disease. They don’t understand how to restore health. And there’s a world of difference.

Adding to that, cats are very sensitive beings, and it’s no wonder that they’re living shorter and shorter lives as the effects are passed down through generations. And often, their lives are unpleasant with problem after problem. Killing at the end is often being touted as the ‘humane’ thing to do.

That might be nice for you, as you no longer have an ailing cat to deal with, but it can be so easy to turn their health around even at this late stage.

Homeopathy is a natural form of complete health care, which works by supporting a healthy immune system. It works WITH your cats best efforts at healing themselves, not against it. It ENCOURAGES a healthy immune response to disease.

Lifestyle is also important. We all appreciate freedom to be who we are and to express ourselves. Cats are no different. They too want to express themselves. They need grass to graze on should they need this useful medicine. They need direct sun. They need to be able to walk on the earth, which is so healing. They need to be respected for who they are, sentient beings, not live toys for children.

They need shelter from the elements and safety from man-made hazards. They need a safe bolt hole for when they feel frightened.

Not everyone can accomodate all three ways to prevent cancer in cats. However, if the first two ways, even just the first one way detailed here, are embraced, your cat will be healthier and happier, as will your bank account.

It’s not always easy to change our ways or entrenched ideas, but sometimes our wonderful pets push us in the right direction. It happened to me and I’m forever grateful, although it was tough in the beginning.
