I gave my cat a cap full of Vitamin Water power-c that has taurine and hes acting a little hyper could it harm him?
It's best to avoid giving Vitamin Water or other human beverages to cats, as they may contain ingredients that are not safe for them. Taurine is important for cats, but excess amounts can lead to hyperactivity or other health issues. Monitor your cat closely for any unusual behavior and contact a veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms.

What are the ingredients in 9 lives cat food?
The ingredients differ slightly, depending on the type and flavour of the food. However, here are some examples from the "basic" foods for this brand.Ingredients for the "Daily" dry food:Whole ground corn, poultry by-product meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, whole wheat, meat & bone meal, animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), salmon, chicken, beef, animal digest, salt, phosphoric acid, choline chloride, titanium dioxide, potassium chloride, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, vitamin A supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement), taurine, minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6, potassium sorbate (used as a preservative), BHA (used as a preservative), blue 1, rosemary extract.The dry food lists as Corn as the first ingredient, and has a lot of other cereals in the list. Ideally, the named meat sources should be first (or even the first two or three) in the list. The dry food seems to have more grain than meat. Cats have trouble digesting high levels of carbohydrates, and in some cases, can cause food allergies.The first meat source is "poultry by-product meal", meaning that the low quality leftover bits (heads, intestines, feet, etc.) have had all the moisture and fat taken out and rendered in a form easily used for kibble. This, compared to "salmon, chicken, beef" further down the line, is a much cheaper and lower quality protein. This also goes for the "meat & bone meal".Ingredients from "Tender Nibbles with Real Chicken in Gravy" Wet Food:Water sufficient for processing, meat by-products, chicken, fish, wheat flour, soy protein concentrate, modified starch, steamed bone meal, animal digest, guar gum, titanium dioxide, sodium tripolyphosphate, potassium chloride, caramel color, choline chloride, salt, taurine, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), iron oxide.The wet food is better. Much less grains, save for the "wheat flour" and "modified starch". "Meat by-products" isn't the best quality protein, but "chicken, fish" are third and fourth on the list which bumps up the protein quality and quantity."soy protein concentrate" also adds to the protein levels. However, this is plant protein, not meat protein. Cats cannot digest plants. Guar gum is used as a food thickener, so does not offer any nutrients.
Can a ferret eat 9 lives cat food?
Definitely not. While some cat foods are suitable for ferrets, this one is not. (Actually, it shouldn't be fed to cats either)Both ferrets and cats are obligate carnivores and derive all necessary nutrition from meat. When choosing a food, look for one that has at least 35% protein, 20% fat, and less than 3% fiber. At least 4 of the first six ingredients should be meat.Here are the ingredients for 9lives Daily Essentials:Whole ground corn, poultry by-product meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, whole wheat, meat & bone meal, animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), salmon, chicken, beef, animal digest, salt, phosphoric acid, choline chloride, titanium dioxide, potassium chloride, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, vitamin A supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement), taurine, minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6, potassium sorbate (used as a preservative), BHA (used as a preservative), blue 1, rosemary extract.Out of the first 6 ingredients (italisized), only two of them are derived from animals. Meat and bone meal isn't really a good quality source of protein. Poultry by-products include things like bones, organs, and eggs. Also not the best source for meat protein, especially since it's unspecified (ie: chicken by-product meal would be better).It also has a lot of artificial colors and added sodium.Not good for ferrets or cats
How much vitamin b complex can you give a cat?
Don't give vitamins to your cat without asking the vet first. Cats are very different from us and it's really easy to hurt them by giving them the wrong amount. Some vitamins can accumulate in a cats system and poison them. In the catfood there already are all the vitamins they need. The pet store have a small bottle of vitamin B liquid if you really want to supplement something. How much is on the bottle.
