Are cats afraid of snakes in nature?
0 May 17,2024
Nowadays, there are many misunderstandings among novice cat owners. For example, a plate of greasy and salty fried fish, and a bowl of boiled chicken mixed with rice. Which foods are not allowed for cats? You need to understand the dietary taboos of cats!
Milk
Most cats do not have lactase and cannot break down lactose. Milk intake can easily cause cats to have diarrhea. However, yogurt can be fed in small amounts, plain.
Starch
Such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, bread, potatoes, etc. Their bodies cannot absorb these foods, so please do not feed them grains or starchy foods
Animal liver
Liver contains large amounts of vitamin A. Excessive intake of vitamin A can lead to muscle stiffness, neck pain, bone and joint deformation, and liver disease. A small amount is okay, but be sure not to give too much.
High-fat food
That is, high-fat fish or fatty meat can easily cause them to lack vitamin E, which in turn can cause inflammation of body fat and cause extreme pain.
Raw fish, raw meat
Although in some foreign countries it is highly recommended for cats and dogs to eat raw meat, the domestic quarantine situation is not ideal. In order to prevent parasites, it is better not to feed cats raw meat.
Dog food
Cats are carnivores, while dogs are omnivorous animals. The nutrients in dog food are not enough to meet the needs of cats.
Some seafood
Shrimp, sea crab, squid, spider snail, cuttlefish, octopus, cuttlefish, sardine and horse fish, etc. Because the protein in this type of food is not easily digested by cats, it also contains toxins that can cause cat allergies.
If a big cat eats too much, it will cause allergies, salivation, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. If it is a kitten, it may even cause convulsions and death in severe cases.
Bones
Especially when it comes to chicken and duck bones and larger fish bones, don’t think of cats as being so tough. Sharper bones and larger fish bones can easily scratch their throats or esophagus!
Whether it is a cat or a dog, pet owners should take good care of them when feeding them, and do not feed them according to human eating habits~
