I was just wondering if there were multi-vitamins for cats. I want my cats to be as healthy as possible, and was just wondering if there is anything extra I could be giving them to help them. I currently feed them felidae canned & dryed, is that enough? Just wondering :p

If your cat is on a premium food(which yours is) then you don't need multi vitamins.
I have my cats on Holistic and never had the need to give them vitamins....Same with my dog...:)

Engevita yeast sprinkled on the crunchies is a healthy treat. Its packed with B-vitamins and enzymes and is a good flea preventative. Most cats LOVE it. You can pick it up fairly cheap at just about any health food store and its good for us too.:)
Engevita is such a pleasant tasting yeast that it can be consumed as it is. It is also readily dissolved in water, milk, fruit or vegetable juices and can be sprinkled on soups, stews, casseroles, salads and breakfast cereals to enhance the flavour.
Ingredients
Dried inactive yeast.

There's also nothing wrong with supplementing a healthy diet with variety and healthy treats. Cats get tired of eating the same exact thing everyday just like us.:shrug:
