Having a cat is like having a completely independent, all grown-up, family member that wants the whole home for itself but still hasn’t managed to master the art of feeding itself. That’s the one skill they are lacking when kept inside and they certainly won’t be shy to wake you up in the middle of the night to fulfill this most basic need of theirs. Yet, they will constantly show off their independence and their ownership of your home by doing whatever the heck they want both when you are around and when you aren’t.

If we were to compare them to dogs, it would be clear that their independence is on a much higher level and this might be why: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/why-cats-are-more-independent-than-dogs/articleshow/48835350.cms

It’s funny, though, that the most independent pet you can get is still going to depend on you to feed it and, well, keep it alive by providing food. Don’t let this get in your head, however. If you didn’t do it, they would easily find a way to feed themselves. It’s just that they have turned you into their very own cook and servant and the arrangement works perfectly for them, which is why they are not even trying to change it.

Since you have assumed such a responsible role, you might as well do it the right way. You need to learn about the foods that this animal can and cannot eat, otherwise you’ll get scorned for giving it something its body won’t accept very well. Not to mention the fact that you can affect their overall health negatively by not paying attention to the ingredients that you are feeding it. Getting scorned will be the least of your problems. Although, I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes when this majestic, powerful and sneaky animal decides that you aren’t doing a good enough job.

While we are on the topic of feeding, here’s what you should know. Apart from giving your cat the food that it regularly eats, you might want to think about incorporating certain supplements from time to time, because the food could be lacking in certain nutrients and useful substances that your feline actually needs. That kind of a lack in nutrients could even lead to certain illnesses and I’m fairly certain that you don’t want your kitty to get ill. Supplements are important both in the world of humans and in the world of animals, so don’t forget to keep them in mind.

Speaking of supplements, you might have already heard about the CBD products for animals that cat owners are increasingly incorporating into their felines’ diets. That must have gotten you curious about what those products are, what they can do and why it is that you should give them to your specific cat. Well, you are about to learn that and much more, since I’m going to give you a guide on this particular product, while paying attention to its safety, its benefits, as well as the dosage that you should administer. Here we go.

Is It Safe?

It’s only logical for us to start with the safety, since that is probably your biggest concern. Sure, CBD oil for felines is made of cannabis plants, but here’s what you might not understand. The hemp plant that this supplement is made of is extremely low on THC and it is actually said to be non-psychoactive. In addition to that, Cannabidiol, unlike THC, has no psychedelic properties whatsoever.

Let me make this clear and simple. CBD oil for animals is in no way toxic or psychoactive, meaning that it is perfectly safe for your pets’ consumption. What’s more, research has shown that there are no serious side effects of this product and that you’ll only notice the benefits, just as long as you stick to the right dosage. We’ll talk about the dosage in a minute, but let us first check the benefits out.

What Are The Benefits?

Cat owners wouldn’t exactly be quick to jump on board and start giving this supplement to their pets were it not for its amazing benefits. For starters, this product can significantly boost your animal’s overall immune system, as well as make it more energized, happier and healthier in general. It can also regulate their appetite, as well as their sleeping habits, and we all know that eating and sleeping plays a huge role in the health of these creatures.

Additionally, as explained by this useful source, CBD oil can help your feline if it is sick. Basically, it can get rid of pain they might experience both internally and externally. Apart from that, CBD oil can help manage and reduce epileptic seizures and it can even help treat cat’s anxiety disorders. Research further suggests that it can play a huge role in treating feline cancer as well. Those are only some of the most known benefits that you can expect from this supplement.

How Much To Administer?

The last thing you need to learn is how much CBD oil you should actually give to your feline. Certain side effects, such as nausea and drowsiness, might be caused if you administer too much of this product, which is exactly why you need to learn about proper dosages. The best thing to do is find a great chart, possibly on the website of the specific supplier you get your product from. Essentially, you should always start slow and observe your cat’s behavior in order to see if an increase in dosage is necessary.
