How to feed cats well, so that they can grow up safely and healthily, every shit shoveling officer will have a different approach. Raising cats is the same as raising children. You can't just rely on experience. We must feed them scientifically to make cats grow up healthy and happy. Today, I will share how to raise cats scientifically!
Kittens
From birth to 6 months of age, it is the most critical period of rapid growth for cats. How to feed them scientifically is very important! There are two different stages here. Scientific feeding method:
1. From birth to 2 months of age:
The feeding method should be small and frequent meals, at least 5-6 times a day , 20-30 ml of goat milk powder can be prepared each time, to grasp the cat's eating speed and the degree of bulging of the belly, generally 15-20 ml is enough.
About 2-3 weeks, goat milk powder can be used to soak soft kitten milk cakes, gradually allowing cats to adapt to the digestion and defecation of dry food, and then gradually change the diet to pure dry food milk cakes.
2. From 2 months old to 6 months old:
The feeding method should be changed from small meals and frequent meals to regular, fixed-point and quantitative feeding. Eat 4 meals a day.
The shoveling officer can fix the daily feeding time, so that the cat can develop a good fixed-point meal and fixed-point defecation habit. The quantity of each meal can refer to the recommendations on the cat food package, and it cannot be too much or too little.
Office workers may have some questions: I usually have to go to work and work, and there is no one at home to take care of, what should I do?
In fact, this is not a problem at all , it is recommended that office workers can feed like this:
1) Feed a meal before going out in the morning;
2) Prepare the amount of a meal at a designated place before going out, Let the cat eat by itself;
3) Feed a meal after going home;
4) Prepare a meal before going to bed and let the cat eat by itself.
Adult cats
The most important point of adult cat feeding, I think is nutrition. An adult cat's daily nutrition directly determines how long the cat can accompany you!
The adult cat's diet is divided into two parts: cat food and drinking water.
1. For cat food, let's take a look at the picture below↓↓↓
All data in the picture are from the American Feed Management Association After a large amount of data analysis, it can be used as the basis for shit shoveling officials to buy pet food.
The feeding method should be based on the recommended amount on the cat food package. If the recommended amount on the package is the daily food intake, then divide it into four meals for the cat to eat. Remember not to overeat or overeat. Sudden lack of feeding!
2. In terms of drinking water, the shit shoveling officers must use their best efforts to make cats fall in love with drinking water!
If cats don’t drink enough water, they are prone to suffer from Various chronic diseases such as kidney problems and urinary tract stones. Generally, water must be prepared next to cats when they eat.
In summary, the dietary recommendations for adult cats are:
1) 4 meals a day at fixed times;
2) drinking Water must be sufficient for cats to drink freely;
3) Canned cat food can be used twice a week (stop cat food and eat cat canned food, do not mix canned food with cat food);
4 ) 2 times a week for hair removal cream;
5) 2 times a week for probiotics (probiotics can be eaten less or not, but absolutely do not need to be eaten every day).
