Cats have become one of people’s favorite pets, so the health of cats is also a concern of people. However, when we raise cats, some people pamper the cats too much, which also brings some unnecessary problems to the cats. There are health risks, so we should follow scientific feeding methods when feeding cats. The following is a brief introduction to the misunderstandings that are easy to occur when feeding cats on a daily basis.

1. Lunch box sharing

Good friends should share blessings and hardships, and the status of pets in people's hearts is gradually rising. However, overindulgence or lack of understanding of cats' dietary structure has led many people to think that they can feed their cats whatever they eat. Only in this way can they be called good friends. Owner. But are cats really suitable for eating our meals? The answer is no. Whether the food eaten by humans is given directly to the cat as a meal or taken out as a snack, it is not good. Doing so will cause two kinds of problems in the cat's body.

2. Malnutrition

Cats need different nutrients than humans, and they need protein to convert energy, while humans use fat to convert energy, so cats need much higher protein than humans, and the amounts of vitamins and minerals they need are different from humans. Not the same either. Cats that eat human food for a long time will cause malnutrition. Cats with unbalanced nutrition are not considered healthy cats!

3. Indigestion

Elderly people like to stew bone soup to supplement calcium for their families, and some parents also follow suit and use bones to supplement calcium for cats. No matter what kind of animal bones they are, they should not be given to cats. Not only will they not have the effect of grinding teeth and replenishing calcium, they will injure the cat's gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion.

4. Milk perspective

Milk, milk is not equal to water. It may sound like nonsense, but it is indeed an important point (especially for kittens). Kittens may not be able to be fed by their own mothers due to various reasons, which requires surrogate mothers to be cautious in choosing milk. For us, the best thing to buy is milk, but strictly speaking, milk is not suitable for cats to drink.

The lactose content in milk is much higher than that in cat milk. Cats often suffer from diarrhea because their intestines and stomach cannot absorb milk. This is why it is said that cats have diarrhea after drinking milk. So our view on milk is – don’t give milk to cats as water.
