If you want to improve the phenomenon of cats being picky eaters, you must first understand the reasons why cats are picky eaters. Generally speaking, a cat’s picky eating will be affected by four aspects: the feeding environment, the owner of the tableware, and the cat’s food. The following is a solution based on each reason.

01 Feeding environment

The first is environmental issues. If the cat’s dining area is not clean or there are other things that affect the cat’s eating, the cat will be prone to stress and anorexia. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the environment or change the eating place.

02 Reasons for tableware

If the cat’s tableware is inconvenient for the cat to take food, such as placing it too high, the diameter of the bowl opening is too small, etc., it will cause the cat to be unable to take food and become anorexic. At this time, you only need to adjust the tableware so that the cat can take food more conveniently.

03 Reasons for cat owners

Because some cat owners dote on their cats too much, they often feed their cats frequently and change cat food and snacks with different flavors. This will cause the cat's appetite to become more and more tricky and lead to picky eating. At the same time, not feeding on time can also cause picky eating problems. No matter how much you love your cat, please remember one principle: feed it regularly and quantitatively; do not change food frequently and reduce snacks.

04 Reasons for cat food

The most important reason why cats are picky eaters is cat food. If the cat doesn’t like to eat the cat food you buy, your efforts to improve it in other aspects will be in vain. As carnivores, cats have very high demands for protein and fat; carbohydrates do not provide enough energy for them, and cats have poor digestion capabilities for the fiber in them. If the protein and fat in cat food are insufficient and the carbohydrate content is too high, it will affect the function of the intestines and cause cats to be picky eaters and anorexia. At this time, it is extremely important to change and choose a food suitable for cats.

Actually, there is60.4% of cat owners pay more attention to raw materials when choosing cat food, and cat food with higher meat content is becoming more and more popular. Natural food that uses purely natural ingredients and has no artificial additives has gradually become the first choice of more cat owners.
