Cat's Diet

1. What are the necessary nutrients for cats?

As a carnivore of the same family as the fierce lion, the cat's food is mainly protein-based. Fish and meat account for about 60% of the total food. The foods include chicken, beef, eggs, fish, appropriate dairy products, etc. Others such as liver, butter, dried fish, etc. also contain the necessary nutrients, so they can be mixed into the staple food or fed to the cat as a snack. Two months after birth, kittens eat almost as much as adults do.However, because it is still a child, it is impossible to eat the same amount of food as an adult cat. Therefore, it is recommended to feed it three to four times a day, and then slowly reduce to two times as the cat's meal increases.

The 4 to 6 months after the kitten is born is the growth period, which is the time for bone and muscle growth. So it is necessary to prepare protein-rich food for it. Kittens will eat a lot during this period. To grow, such heat is necessary. Kittens will grow stronger and stronger. It should be noted that it should be fed several times in a small amount. In order to avoid diarrhea, feed them something easy to digest.

Cats eat as much as an adult's fist. They should be fed in the morning and evening, and the food left over should be cleaned up after eating. If you let them eat at any time, it will lead to obesity. In order to prevent diseases, don't forget to clean the food utensils in time.
