Although Somali cats are not very popular cats, their breeding rate in our country is not low. The hair of this cat is relatively long and dense. Like other cats, you don’t need to be too particular. Just follow the following diet plan. ​​​​​​

You need to pay attention to the following dietary aspects when raising Somali cats:

1. Animal liver. Some cats love to eat animal liver and refuse to eat other foods. Animal liver contains a large amount of vitamin A, but excessive intake of vitamin A by Somali cats can lead to muscle stiffness, neck pain, bone and joint deformation, and liver disease.

2. High-fat foods. If a Somali cat's diet contains a lot of fatty fish or stale fatty meat, it will lead to insufficient intake of vitamin E, which will cause inflammation of its body fat and cause extreme pain.

3. Raw fish. Some raw fish contain enzymes that can destroy vitamin B1, and vitamin B1 deficiency can lead to neurological diseases in Somali cats, which can be fatal in severe cases. This enzyme can be destroyed by heating, so the fish must be cooked before feeding. .

4. Meat. Although the Somali cat's diet should be mainly meat, if it is fed only meat food, it will lead to uneven intake of minerals and vitamins, which will lead to serious bone metabolism disorders.

5. Cat food. The nutrients in dog food and cat food are not the same, and the nutrients in dog food cannot meet the needs of Somali cats. Although cats and dogs are both carnivores, dogs have less nutritional needs than cats.

6. Cod liver oil. Special caution should be exercised when supplementing Somali cats with additional vitamins and minerals. Excessive consumption of cod liver oil can lead to excessive intake of vitamin A and vitamin D, which can lead to bone disease.
