Many friends who keep pets know that cats are easier to care for than dogs. They think that cats can be easily raised with a basin of cat litter, a cat climbing frame, cat toys, etc. In fact, feeding cats also requires mastering some basics. It's common sense, especially when it comes to what foods cats eat. Let's take a look at the common sense of feeding exotic shorthair cats with the editor.

Exotic Shorthair Cat (Garfield)

They are independent in temperament and do not like to make noise. They like to watch their owners but will not harass them. They will enjoy themselves most of the time. On the other hand, they also have strong curiosity, are lively and intelligent, are not neurotic, and can adapt to new environments immediately, so they are easy to raise. However, because exotic short-haired cats have a flat nose like Persian cats, they are prone to inflammation, so their faces must be cleaned frequently. As long as it is cleaned every day and kept healthy and lively, its lifespan can reach about thirteen years.

Animal liver: Some cats love to eat animal liver and refuse to eat other foods. Animal livers contain large amounts of vitamin A, but excessive intake of vitamin A can lead to muscle stiffness, neck pain, bone and joint deformation, and liver disease. High-fat foods: If your cat's diet contains a lot of high-fat fish or stale fatty meat, it will lead to insufficient intake of vitamin E, which will cause inflammation of the cat's body fat and cause extreme pain.

Raw fish:Some raw fish contain enzymes that can destroy vitamin B1, and vitamin B1 deficiency can cause neurological diseases in cats, which can be fatal in severe cases. This enzyme can be destroyed by heating, so Be sure to cook the fish before feeding it to your cat.

Meat: Although cats’ diet should be based on meat, if only meat food is fed to cats, it will lead to uneven intake of minerals and vitamins, which will lead to serious bone metabolism disorders.

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

Cod liver oil: Be particularly cautious when supplementing cats with extra 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 diseases.
