Cat

Cultivate the cat’s habit of eating well and refuse to be picky! When a cat’s diet has problems, it often means that it is sick, so it is necessary to observe the cat’s diet and cultivate the cat’s good habit of eating well. This way we can detect problems at any time.

1. Develop the habit of eating at regular times and at designated times

If you want your cat to develop a good habit of concentrating on eating, you must set regular times for your cat from an early age. Put food in a rationed amount, and don't let the cat's rice bowl always have food. Cat food that has been left for a long time will have a bad taste and smell, which will cause waste. Let the cat develop the habit of concentrating on eating. If it does not finish eating within thirty minutes, put away the cat food and wait until the next meal time to provide it. Don't let the cat develop the bad habit of eating if he doesn't want to eat from an early age. Once this habit is formed, the cat will become more picky about food. Just imagine, in the summer, there is leftover rice in the cat food bowl, which is easy to spoil and may cause gastroenteritis when the cat eats it.

2. Develop the habit of eating in a fixed place

When some cats eat their favorite food, they like to hide it in their mouths in a corner that you think is safe to prevent it from being snatched away by other cats or animals. There are also cats that when they eat their favorite food, they will take the food out of the food bowl so that they can gobble it up easily. This is a very bad problem: Hidden corners are usually blind spots for household hygiene and are relatively dirty. Cats will eat dirty things when they pick up food in their mouths. Even if the house is not dirty, cats will eat the food when they pick it out. Some areas are stained. Therefore, when you find that your cat is hiding food to eat, you must stop the cat’s behavior in time, put the food in the food bowl, or place a piece of clean paper (or plastic sheet) near the food bowl, and let the cat sit on the paper (or (plastic sheet) to let the cat understand that the place you have found for it is clean, safe and convenient for eating large pieces, so that the cat will not eat food everywhere.

3. Develop the habit of eating less and more frequently in summer

The weather is hot in summer, and people’s appetite will deteriorate, let alone cats wearing big leather coats. . Hot weather makes cats want to eat less, so in summer, cats should appropriately adjust their meal time and eat smaller meals more often. Give the cat a little more for breakfast, a little less for lunch and dinner, and give the cat a little more for a midnight snack before going to bed. That is, give a little more when the heat has not started around 7 o'clock, give a little more around 12 noon, give a little more for dinner around 6 o'clock, and give a little more around 11 o'clock in the evening when the heat has completely subsided, so that the cat can eat enough.

4. Don’t give canned snacks casually

Snacks and canned food are not good for the cat’s body. They contain additives and preservatives. Just like a child should eat less snacks, it’s okay to eat once or twice occasionally, but giving cats snacks and canned food frequently will make the cat become picky.Snacks and cans are only given to cats as rewards when they behave well.

5. Improve the diet once or twice a week

Eating cat food all the time cannot fully meet the cat’s nutritional needs. The cat must be improved every week. Have a meal or two and cook some meat. It is best to cook meat for the cat at a fixed time, so the cat knows that it will eat delicious food on a certain day and looks forward to it.
