Egyptian cat

1. Cat Food

There are three main types of prepackaged food for cats on the market: canned meat, semi-moist food, and dry food. Although these three types of food are convenient to feed, they should only be part of, not all, cat food. Ideally: Feed fresh food at least twice a week. This is because this specialty food does not provide all the nutrients your cat needs if you intend to keep it alive and healthy for the long term. Many of these foods are said to meet the required protein content (25% to 30%) in cat food. However, just like humans, cats should eat fresh food to get enough vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, feeding cats only with this food is too monotonous, even though some cats can tolerate it, and prepackaged food is quite expensive in terms of nutritional value. However, at some point, you may feel compelled to use prepackaged food as your only cat food. Just feed it for a few weeks, not years as an adult; and with plenty of water along with dry food, your cat won't be overwhelmed.

Canned foods

These foods contain meat, fish, salt, jellies, vitamins, Chemical color additives, water, and grains. Most foods are made from fish, chicken, beef, rabbit or animal offal. They contain 25% to 30% protein and can be used as the main ration for cats. Canned food can be fed to cats. Because they are sterilized, they are easy to store. Combined with the high amount of water in it, the canning process and later storage also lowers the vitamin's standard.

Dry Foods

These biscuits contain grains, fish, meat, yeast flakes, vitamins, fats and colourings. They are less expensive than canned or semi-moist foods and are easier to store and carry. But there are the following drawbacks: low in fat and protein; and it has been suspected that they can cause cystitis in cats. If you feed your cat dry food, be sure to let him drink water frequently.

Soft & Moist Foods

These granules contain meat, soy, fat, vitamins, preservatives, chemical color additives, and are often thickened agent and sugar. The water content accounts for more than 33%. Nutritional value is not very high. Soft and moist foods are used as cat food because they contain just over 25% protein and are low in fat. Packed in silver foil paper bags, this food is storable, but not as long as the other two types of food.

2. Fresh food

If you mainly feed your cats canned food, you may be willing to use fresh food as cat food once or twice a week , because it is good for the cat's health. If you do cook for cats, season with iodized salt. This trace element is especially important for pregnant female cats as it prevents reabsorption of the fetus in the womb.

Meat

To prevent toxoplasmosis in cats, all meat should be cooked.

Due to the structure of the cat's teeth, cats cannot chew their food, so you should mince or shred the food, or feed the cat large chunks so that it can shred it on its own. If you're using chicken for cat food, be sure to remove all the chicken bones, as cats can get caught very easily.

Grass

Don't panic if your cat must eat grass or weeds. Grass is good for cats, it contains certain vitamins, and it acts as an effective emetic, helping cats spit out unwanted things like hairballs. However, if your cat frequently grazes in the grass, be aware that the fertilizer you use must be non-toxic.

3. Beverages

Beverages are essential for cats to maintain their health, although compared to humans (by volume), cats drink less Water can also survive.

Water

While technically not food, water is a necessary part of cat food. Meat cat food should not only be high in protein but also contain a lot of water. Cats on high protein diets produce large amounts of urea and therefore need to drink plenty of water to flush this waste out through the kidneys. So, by their volume, do cats need relatively more water than humans? In fact, they need less water because their urine contains a higher concentration of urea than humans (almost twice as much), so there are help them retain moisture. And the amount of water that evaporates when cats pant and sweat is negligible. Even big cats like lions have been recorded without water for up to ten days.

When feeding your cat with foods containing cooked fish, tripe, and some canned foods, give an animal the size of a cat more water than it needs. In addition, cats get a lot of the water they need every day through chemical reactions. When the fats and carbohydrates in cat food are digested in the cat's body, water molecules are produced.

Milk

Milk is not strictly a beverage, it is actually a food, and its main value is calcium and phosphorus. Feeding 200cc of milk to an adult cat is enough for a day's needs. However, some cats are not suitable for drinking milk and will have diarrhea after drinking it. If your cat is allergic to cow's milk, it may need nutritional supplements.

Alcoholic beverages

It is said that there is a black male cat named Jack in Brooklyn, New York, USA, who likes to drink when he is only three years old Milk mixed with Peno ouzo. Jack demands stronger and stronger milk as he gets older; he's reluctant to drink milk with just a little ouzo. Jack died at the age of eight. An autopsy revealed that its liver had been damaged by alcohol. Giving cats alcohol, even in small amounts, is also unwise. The cat's body does not need this poison.
