CATDOLL : Can kittens eat oranges?

Kittens cannot eat oranges because oranges have a pungent smell, which kittens do not like. In addition, a series of acidic fruits such as tangerines, oranges, grapefruits, etc. are not suitable for kittens to eat. If they are eaten for a long time, it will cause cell necrosis, vomiting, and even death.

Kitten diet notes:

1. Eat small and frequent meals: Kittens are growing and need to take in a lot of nutrients, so they need to be fed 4-5 times a day, but the amount of each meal should not be too large, otherwise they cannot digest it all. It is recommended that cat owners feed cats regularly and quantitatively, so that cats can eat small and frequent meals, which is better for the stomach.

2. Do not feed snacks: Try not to feed snacks to kittens. Most cat snacks are not as nutritious as staple foods, and feeding too much may cause picky eating. Cats should avoid eating human snacks, as the high oil and salt content in them may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in cats.

3. Encourage cats to drink water: When cats are young, their owners should encourage them to drink more water and develop a good habit of drinking water. If they really don’t like to drink water, you can add some water to the staple food and stir it to feed it. This can also replenish water and help prevent urinary problems such as urinary stones.

4. Keep probiotics and antiemetics on hand: Kittens have a much more fragile stomach than adult cats, so cat owners can feed them some probiotics to help digestion. If a cat still has a bad stomach and vomits frequently after adulthood, it is recommended to give it some Point antiemetics, which can relieve vomiting, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal problems.
