When a cat has two different colored eyes, it's known as complete heterochromia. I'm not sure what color eyes Mangu has, but I had a Persian with one blue eye and one yellow eye. This can be found in many other species, including humans, and it's just a genetic variation. Nothing to be concerned about! As for his diet, he needs a cat food. I'm not sure how old he is, and you can take take him into the vet to get an approximation of his age. If he is less than 12 months of age, he will need a kitten formulated food. Should he be over 12 months of age, he will need an adult cat food. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

Should I mix cat food brands or stick to just one for my cat?

As long as the diet he is eating us a balanced and complete diet appropriate for his age there is no reason to change it or offer variety unless he has a condition which may respond to specialist formulas such as kidney or skin disease. Variety tends to encourage picky eating so if he is doing well, continue with his preferred food

What's the best food for my young cat and what ingredients to avoid?

Punkin is adorable and looks like he has a lot to say! My favorite brands of pet food are Science Diet and Royal Canin. Both are excellent quality foods with many years of research and experience behind their formulations, the foods are made to meet specific needs for your pets and are tested by real pets to ensure they are palatable and nutritious. Depending on his age and body condition a regular adult cat food or mature diet would probably work just fine for him. And if you haven't already done so, make an appointment to get him neutered. It will help him stay healthier longer as he ages and will greatly reduce the strong aroma from his urine.

What's the best food for my new 8-week-old male Ragdoll kitten?

Azur should have a high quality kitten food, such as Royal Canin or Hill's Science diet. Kittens require higher amounts of calories, protein, and calcium than adults cats, and a kitten food will provide this. I recommend feeing him Royal Canin Ragdoll kitten, it's a high quality kitten food that's specifically formulated for Ragdolls.

Best food and feeding frequency for my 4-year-old Maine Coon cat?

Cats can be feed either once or twice a day depending on their appetite and your schedule. I like Purina brand foods, but Science diet or Royal Canin are also well balance and healthy. They make several different formulas. For him I would recommend hair ball control base on his breed.

My cat is five years old. What's the best food for her health?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are several diets available in the market as you have probably noticed. I personally prefer Purina, Royal canin and Science Diet foods as they are of high quality and have research to back up their use. Any of their variations should be good for Maddi. Good luck and have a great day!

My cat has thick white eye pus and won't eat. What should I do?

I’m sorry to hear about Mystic. This probably has nothing to do with the food and more to do with a serious eye infection- often due to feline herpes virus. See your vet as Mystic very likely needs some eye medication and may need other treatments. Best of luck to you and Mystic!
