CATDOLL : 8 dietary taboos for Bengal cats

Eight dietary taboos for Bengal cats:

1. Feeding randomly: When raising cats, the owner must be careful not to feed cats randomly, especially chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, etc. These foods are poisonous to cats.

2. Feeding leftovers: When raising cats, I believe many pet owners have fed them leftovers. It is recommended that owners do not feed cats too much, because if cats eat too much, they are prone to ringworm, rough hair, tear marks, etc.

3. Feeding too much: Cats have a very small appetite, so owners should never treat cats like pigs. Such behavior will make cats feel burdened and easily damage their intestines.

4. Don’t feed it meat: Cats are carnivorous animals, so animal protein is very important to them. Owners cannot force cats to be vegetarians, otherwise the cats will not get the nutrients they need to maintain health.

5. Feed it chicken liver: Chicken liver contains a large amount of vitamin A. Long-term consumption will cause the cat to consume excessive vitamin A. If it cannot be excreted in time, it will cause vitamin A cumulative poisoning, causing pain, lameness, tooth loss and other diseases.

6. Feeding chicken bones: Many families feed cats with leftover bones, but this is actually not good. Cats rarely chew carefully but swallow them quickly. Chicken bones are very sharp and may hurt their throats.

7. Feed it seafood: Aquatic products contain high purine content and are difficult to digest. In mild cases, it will cause vomiting and diarrhea in cats, and in severe cases, it may even cause the cat to die.

8. Feeding high-salt food: Cats drink less water, and the excess salt cannot be metabolized and will remain in the kidneys, placing a serious burden on the cat's kidneys. Over time, cats are prone to fatal diseases.

Feeding precautions for Bengal cats:

1. If raw meat and bones are provided as a feeding method, it is worth recommending if the combination can be done well, because the raw meat and bones feeding method actually imitates the process of cats catching wild food in the wild, but it requires providing meat, a certain proportion of internal organs, bones, etc.

2. In addition, there is a small advantage to feeding cats with raw bones and meat. When cats chew fresh bones and meat, it can clean their teeth, avoid bad breath and oral diseases, and help shape their mouth muscles.

3. If you feed cat food, 1 pound per 5 days is enough. If you feed raw meat and bones, 200-250g/day is best. There is no one best. The best thing is to choose the feeding method that suits you best.
