CATDOLL : Can pet cats only eat cat food?

Pet cats can only eat cat food. Because the nutritional ingredients of cat food are very balanced, it can provide cats with sufficient protein, fat and other nutrients. If you feed cat food alone, you must feed your cat better cat food. Avoid cats getting sick after eating inferior cat food. Cats also have the habit of eating snacks in their daily lives, so you can prepare some freeze-dried food or cat strips at home, which can be used to satisfy the cat's cravings or to increase the relationship between you and the cat.

Things to note when eating cat food:

1. Cat food pairing. Do not pair cat food with regular meals, as this will greatly reduce the cat's palatability and cause the cat to refuse to eat or develop a picky eating habit. If you want to pair it with cat food, it is recommended to use powdered nutrients to pair it with cat food.

2. No need to heat. Cat food is formulated with good nutritional effects. If we heat canned cat food, the protein and other nutrients in it will be destroyed, which will not be of any help to cats.

3. Pay attention to the salt content in cat food. We must strictly control the cat's intake of trace elements. The right amount of salt can help the cat replenish water and trace elements, but a large amount of salt is likely to cause various adverse factors such as hair loss and illness.

4. The temperature of cat food. The temperature of cat food must be well controlled. Too high a temperature will cause the cat to be scalded. Too low a temperature will have a great impact on the cat's gastrointestinal function. At this time, it is recommended that you use a thermometer to measure the cat's food more often, which is conducive to the normal growth of the cat.

5. Feed on time. We need to give cats a specific feeding time. Kittens can be fed 3-4 times a day, and adult cats can be fed twice. Do not feed them too full, 80% full is best.
