Cats have become one of people's favorite pets, so the health of cats is also a concern of people, but when we keep cats, some people are too spoiled Therefore, it also brings some unnecessary health risks to cats, so we should follow scientific feeding methods when feeding cats. The following is a brief introduction to the common misunderstandings that are prone to occur when feeding cats daily.
1. Lunch box sharing
Good friends have both blessings and difficulties, The status of pets in people's hearts has gradually risen, but over-indulgence or lack of understanding of the cat's diet has led many people to think that they can be called good owners by giving the cat what they eat. But are cats really fit for our meals? The answer is no. Whether the food eaten by humans is eaten directly for the cat, or it is taken out as a snack, it is not good. Doing so will cause two problems to the cat's body.
2. Malnutrition
Cats need different nutrients than humans, and they need to use protein to convert energy, while humans use fat to convert energy , so the protein required by cats is much higher than that of humans, and the amount of vitamins and minerals required is not the same as that of humans. Cats eating human food for a long time will cause malnutrition, and cats with unbalanced nutrition are not healthy catsyo!
3. Indigestion
Old people like to stew bone soup to supplement calcium for their families, and some parents follow the example of using bones to supplement calcium for cats. No matter what kind of animal bones, cats should not be eaten, so not only will it not play the role of molar teeth and calcium supplement, but it will hurt the cat's stomach and cause indigestion.
4. Milk point of view
Milk, milk is not equal to water. It may sound like nonsense, but it's an important point (especially for kittens). Kittens may not be fed and grown up by their own mothers for various reasons, which requires surrogate mothers to be cautious about the choice of milk. For us, the best buy is milk, but strictly speaking, milk is not suitable for cats.
The lactose content in milk is much higher than that in cat milk. Cats often suffer from diarrhea because they cannot absorb milk. This is why it is said that cats drink milk and have diarrhea. So our milk point of view is - don't give milk to cats as water.
