1. Do not control the cat’s food intake
How do you feed the owners? Point feeding or quantitative feeding?
There are excellent and lousy feeding methods. Cats naturally eat small meals and maintain a natural hunting habit. Cats in captivity do not exercise vigorously or hunt. If they feed naturally, most cats are prone to obesity. But if your cat is constantly exercising and can control the amount of food he eats, he can eat ad libitum. In addition, pay attention to controlling the daily calorie intake of cats. If you look carefully, you will find calorie labels on cat food and cans.
Daily basal calorie=30×body weight (kg)+70, unit (kCal)
Adult sterilization×1.0<4 months×3.0 four months to 1 year old×2.0
2. There is no transition; just change the food directly
It takes time for the cat to adapt to the new food. This cycle is about a week. If you change the food directly, it will stimulate the cat’s stomach and may cause the cat to vomit and have diarrhea.
So if changing the food for the master is recommended, use the [7-day food replacement method] to replace the old and new food gradually. This is usually indicated on the outer packaging of cat food.
[7-day grain exchange method]:
Day 1~2: 90% old grain + 10% new grain
Day 3~4: 60% old food + 40% new food
Day 5~6: 30% old food + 70% new food
Day 7 and After: 100% new food
3. Often feed cats snacks
If you overfeed snacks, it will lead to cats developing Picky eating habits. The correct way to open snacks should be given as a reward. Don’t over-feed snacks just because your cat is greedy. Those cat biscuits and candy with too much starch are not recommended, which will cause a burden on the cat’s kidneys.
4. Make cats vegetarian
As we all know, cats are carnivores, their stomachs are not suitable for vegetarians, and vegetarians cannot Provide the nutrients your cat needs as it grows.
Also, don’t feed your cat leftovers from humans; sugar and salt kill your cat’s kidneys!
5. Eating too much liver
Eating less liver can meet the nutritional needs of cats, but if too much, it will be harmful to cats and have adverse health effects. Excessive consumption of the liver can also lead to calcium deficiency in cats.
6. If the leftover food in the bowl has been left for too long, continue to add new food into it, the cat food that the cat has not finished eating; if it is left in the bowl for too long, it is easy for microorganisms such as bacteria to multiply, which will cause cat diarrhea if you are not careful. Therefore, unfinished food (especially canned food) must be disposed of in time, and the bowl that the cat eats must be cleaned and dried in time before continuing to use.
