CATDOLL : Cat food dietary considerations for kittens

Cat food dietary precautions for kittens and young cats:

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 of the nutritional content of cat snacks is not as rich as the staple food, 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. When they grow up, you can feed them some snacks such as cat strips and freeze-dried food.

3. Encourage your cat to drink water. When your cat is young, the owner should encourage it to drink more water and develop a good habit of drinking water. If it really doesn'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. Always have probiotics and antiemetics on hand. The stomachs of kittens are much more fragile than those of adult cats, so the owner can feed them some probiotics to help digestion. If the 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.

5. Be careful when changing food. When a cat is one year old, its growth and development have basically ended, which means it has reached adulthood. At this time, the owner should change its food to one that is more suitable for adult cats. It is important to give the cat an adaptation period of about a week and gradually replace the old food to avoid vomiting caused by its inability to adapt to the new food.

6. Suitable cat food. For kittens, adult cat food is not easy to digest. It is recommended to choose special cat food according to the age of the cat, so that the cat can get the right amount of nutrition at the right time, reducing problems such as indigestion and inappropriate nutrient intake. For cats that have just been born, cat owners can choose to feed them with goat milk powder instead of cat food.
