You are a lucky owner of a fluffy treasure cat.Its long life and health depends on its nutrition and proper care.You must understand, that even this miracle lives in your apartment or house, a cat is a carnivorous animal. It is accustomed to eat natural food, such as mice, birds or any other animals, which it is able to catch. Cats eat this food completely: bones, hair and tail (a complete set of all the nutrients and vitamins). Therefore, the food we give the animal is unusual initially.

Of course, we will not carry small rodents or sparrows from the street, but we have to provide useful and nutritious food for it.

Cats can be fed with natural products, canned or dry food.

A method of feeding dry feed

There are scary legends that it is harmful to give your cat dry food, they provoke kidney disease, diuretics disease. On the other hand, for example, monotonous food is bad for cat; eating, dry food the animal does not get the vitamins and so on. This is not true. Dry feeds are balanced with vitamins and essential nutrients for the day for a cat. Feed the cat and it can be anything harmful in it, the main thing to remember is:

• a) do not overfeed the animal. It would seem, well, what could be bad at these crackers? The animal does not feel full of such smallness. Nevertheless, no! It is always written on the packaging how much feed to give, typically 60-70 grams a day. In addition, proportions depend on the weight of the animal.


• b) If your cat diet consists of dry feed, remember that the water in the bowl MUST be fresh and clean! Cats are very finicky and will not drink water with crumbs or other debris. Because of the food, the animal does not get needed moisture, so your pet should always have access to water.


• c) Do not steam, soak, and mix different types of pet food. If you have chosen a company that makes food, then give only that to the cat. Do not mix 5, 6, 10 feeds, it harms the body of a cat. Do not steam/soak feeds! Do not experiment!On the packaging, there is always written how to feed your pet.

He will balance the necessary vitamins and substances individually for your animal.
