Should I feed my 4-month-old cat fish or meat for best health?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 3.3 lbs

I have a 4 months old cat and I feed him fish+vegetables with rice and Dr David told me to feed him meat+vegetables with rice. So is fish good for him ? Or will I feed him meat instead of fish ?

Fish and meat are equivalent. They both provides necessary sources of protein. However I feel that fish is better because it provides a source of omega 3 fattt acids which is great for skin and bladder health.
