Common sense of feeding cats

Young cat

Eat less and eat more, and pay attention to timing, quantity and fixed point when feeding.

Timing: Feed at a fixed time every day to develop good eating habits. Quantitative: Don't eat too much or too little. With the increase of cat age, the cat's food intake will gradually increase within a certain period of time (usually three or four months) and will remain stable after eight months.

Generally, cats about 2 months old should eat more than 5 or 6 times a day. Three months ago, kittens were usually fed four times a day, at 9 am, at 12 pm, at 6 pm and at 10 pm. Feed it three times a day from March to June. Twice a day after six months.

When the kitten's milk is not enough or there is no milk, she can drink special pet milk powder, and when she is older, she can add some rice flour to the milk powder. If you eat milk directly, it may cause diarrhea, because kittens can't digest milk well.

Adult cat

Cats enter adulthood at the age of 12 months. Adult cats are basically mature in body and digestive system, and can digest and absorb nutrients well. Adult cats need comprehensive and balanced nutrition to maintain the best health and prevent aging.

When cats are over 7 years old, there will be many health problems, especially in metabolism, such as eyes. Feed them low-fat and low-energy foods to help them maintain their normal weight. In addition, we should ensure the content of cellulose in food to ensure the health of the stomach and intestines, and reduce the content of magnesium and phosphorus to maintain the health of the urinary system and kidneys. In addition, try to make them digestible food.

Weigh cats regularly to ensure that their weight is within the normal range, and feed them according to the advice of veterinarians and nutritionists. Regularly evaluate the physical condition of the cat and adjust the feeding amount according to the physical condition. Scratching the cat's chin gently will increase the cat's affection for you.

Because the dog food, cat food and snacks that domestic pets eat for a long time are all processed foods, the intake of various food additives will constantly destroy the flora balance in the gastrointestinal tract of pets, and it is easy to have symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea and indigestion. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement pet probiotics to maintain the health of gastrointestinal tract.
