I. Why do cats love bread?

The reality is that not all cats love bread. Some cats are not crazy about bread, while others are obsessed with it. One of the two cats that Xiaojia has at home is obsessed with bread, and the other is a bread eater. So, what is it about bread that will attract some of the hardcore cat fans?

1. Guess one: is it because the cat is hungry
Guess the cat is hungry to stare at human food, Xiaojia tried to use cat food to attract the attention of the cat to look at the bread, the result is a failure to end. The little cutie in the house often put the meat not to eat, and run to eat bread. And also with round eyes pathetically staring at the bread, simply silly cute.
So this is not the underlying reason.

2. Speculation two: the bread has a taste that cats like
Because the first time the cat "looks" at the bread because of the smell, when the cat first approached the bread, but also with a nose several sniffs. It was later discovered that yeast is used as a flavoring agent in many cat foods and snacks. Most pieces of bread contain yeast, and cats probably like the smell of yeast.
There is also the cat especially loves the wheat flavor, if it is whole wheat bread, it is grabbed.

3. Speculation three: the bread has elements that cats need
Bread contains fiber, fiber helps to solve diarrhea and regulate intestinal motility. One of the reasons cats are particularly fond of eating cat grass regularly is also that grass is rich in fiber, which helps to drive intestinal material peristalsis.

The word "greedy cat" is not called for anything. Kittens always want to lick everything they see at home, especially the things in the hands of the pooper scooper, the things in the open bag of the pooper scooper, the things in the open box of the pooper scooper, the things in the can bottle, no matter what the kitty will come over to smell and lick it.

Cats are more excited to see bread than cat food, so why do cats like to eat sweet things?
Sometimes the pooper scooper also wants to tease the kitty, when opening the bag will deliberately come together in the direction of the cat, and look at the cat sucking the little nose on the step over. Then the cat started to make its head to the bag, the pooper scooper to avoid the cat to eat, not only do not let the cat eat, but also deliberately eat in front of the cat to throw the bag into the trash, leaving the cat a dumbfounded expression.

This image, think about it, how the pooper scooper so owed. If the cat can talk, the pooper scooper has been scolded for how much.

Although the cat will be curious about all the things in the hands of the master, the pooper scooper is also a principle, the cat has more principles. For those things just smell, really come to the cat's mouth to eat, the cat does not eat it.

But it seems that cats have one thing in common, that is, they like to eat bread, cake, and cream. Of course not all bread cats like to eat, not all cats like to eat bread, and some kittens just will not even look at the bread, but also show a very disgusted look at the bread.

Cats are more excited to see bread than cat food, why do cats like to eat sweet
Most cats like to eat bread is the kind of sweet bread, we know that when people smell something sweet, their mood will change for the better. Just like when faced with a cake of milk tea, you can't help but want to eat it. But cats have the least sense of sweetness, cats have a sense of taste, but the sweetness is at the bottom of the list of cats' sense of taste. So cats should not taste sweet to like to eat sweet bread, cake, and cream.

Then one reason cats like to eat these sweeter tasting foods is that cats are hoarding fat, especially in the fall and winter months. When cats feel the cold in the fall and winter, they will subconsciously eat more food to accumulate fat and energy to grow more hair to fight the cold. This food with a sweet taste in the carbohydrate content is relatively high, eaten to gain weight.

The carbohydrate content in bread is relatively high, and it is okay for cats to eat a little. If too many carbohydrates are consumed, the cat will just be fat and there will be no room in the body for protein and fat. The same goes for cakes and creams. Cats are not greedy for these, they think this sweet stuff can make them gain weight before they always want to eat them.

The second reason is that there is fiber in the bread, fiber can help cats' intestinal peristalsis, and digestion of food in the gut. Old people used to say that cats will find herbs to save their lives, they eat bad things will find herbs that can eat, this is cats eating grass using cellulose to promote intestinal peristalsis, to achieve the purpose of vomiting.

Cats are more excited to see bread than to see cat food, why do cats like to eat sweets so much
When cats feel the body needs will go to the appropriate supplementable food, so cats sometimes have a special interest in bread, and cats especially like the wheatgrass flavor, yeast flavor may also be one of the flavors that cats like because most bread is put in the yeast.

So pooper scoopers can prepare some whole wheat bread at home, with yeast and wheatgrass flavor, but also to meet the cat's need for fiber, and most importantly, to meet the cat's little gluttony inside.

Pooper scoopers know to try not to give cats food eaten by people, meat, and cat food is healthy food for cats. But the theory is never better than the reality, those theoretical others tell you can not give the cat to eat things cats are always a curious face want to taste. Some kittens just like to eat all kinds of snacks, even baked sweet potatoes once became a favorite of cats, bread yogurt is in the pooper scooper to eat when the cat must go up to share a copy.

These foods are fine as long as they are in the case of cats hurting health, give the cat a little bite to eat. The note is a little bit to eat, absolutely not as a staple food, and not eat more. After all, this kind of thing, there is no nutrition for the cat's body, just a little to meet the cat's, little greedy heart.

Only when feeding cats should pay attention to some foods that cats can never touch, such as grapes, onions, garlic, chocolate, and so on, mostly fruits and vegetables. The cat will not eat these foods when it sees them, so the pooper scoopers can rest assured that our kitty is still very smart.

Two, is eating bread harmful to cats?

Theoretically, there is no problem with cats eating bread. However, specific problems should be analyzed, because other ingredients of bread may be harmful to cats


Cats that grab bread with their owners
1, although cats can eat bread, the cat is after all a carnivore, its intestines for this pure carbohydrate composition of food digestive ability is very weak, so cats can not eat more bread.
2, most of the bread ingredient list contains salt, cats ingesting too much salt will lead to dry hair. Therefore, cats cannot eat more bread.

3銆両f the bread recipe list contains.
Milk, chocolate, cocoa ingredients, garlic, onion, leek, onion powder, cream, and other foods that cats cannot eat, then this bread should never be allowed to be eaten, because the above foods are landmines for cats, stepping on them will cause harm.
So those bulk pieces of bread purchased directly from the bakery, it is best not to feed your cat, because you do not know what is in the recipe list

Three: What is the maximum amount of bread a cat can eat per day?

For this question, the most I would like to say from Old King is.
As little as possible!
Although eating a small amount of bread is not harmful to cats, most pieces of bread was eaten by humans is a high-calorie food, and cats will gain weight if they consume too much high-calorie food.

Secondly, bread for cats varies from cat to cat, because some cats will have diarrhea if they eat bread...even if it's whole wheat.
So if your cat owner wants to eat bread, the first time you can let your cat eat bread as big as a thumbnail, or a little more, and then observe your cat's poop that day.
Cats who eat snacks
If the situation is normal, you can feed your cat a little more the next time you eat bread; if the cat has diarrhea, whatever bread you eat next time, do not feed your cat any bit of it, because bread may cause diarrhea in cats, and diarrhea is not a good sign for cats.
