Although many cats like milk very much, some cats are lactose intolerant, which can also lead to diarrhea after drinking milk. However, yogurt is a fermented dairy product in which lactose has been broken down into galactose. Cats can digest and replenish calcium by eating yogurt.

Daily feeding guide for adult cats

(1) Adult cats like warm and cooked food.

Cold and cold food not only affects the appetite of adult cats, but also easily causes digestive disorders in adult cats, so the food fed to cats should be warm.

In addition, food for adult cats should be cooked and fed. Cooked food can improve palatability, facilitate digestion and absorption, and prevent protozoan parasites, pathogenic bacteria and harmful toxic hazards, such as cats eating raw fish and meat that are susceptible to tapeworm infection.



(2) Adult cats do not require high energy content in grain.

Especially for de-sexed cats, the energy content is too high to be easily fattened. However, a high protein content is required, especially animal protein, which is important for adult cats to be physically strong and have a shiny coat.



(3) Cats should not be fed all-meat baits for a long time.

Excessive meat consumption is prone to calcium deficiency, resulting in rickets, osteoporosis, tooth loss and other diseases. Animal liver is rich in vitamin A and vitamin D. Vitamin A is very important for the health of cats, but in moderation, too much intake can cause joint stiffness or paralysis, and generally feed animal liver once or twice a week.

(4) The feeding place and food utensils should be fixed, the environment should be quiet and the food utensils should be kept clean and hygienic.

Adult cats do not like to eat in noisy and brightly lit places and are sensitive to changes in food utensils and the environment, sometimes refusing to eat due to a change of place and food utensils. In addition, food utensils should be kept clean and hygienic. For cat food utensils, litter boxes, toys, catteries and other living utensils, they should be regularly cleaned, disinfected and kept clean.



(5) The water supply must be scientific.

First, ensure that the drinking water is clean and hygienic. To avoid infection with intestinal pathogens; secondly, there should be sufficient clear water for the cat to drink freely, to ensure that the amount of water is not replaced by vegetable soup and rice water, and that the water is changed and the water dispenser is washed every day. If the water is not enough, vomiting and dehydration may occur.

(6) Observe the appetite of the cat.

This is an important way to understand the physical condition of the cat. There are many reasons affecting the appetite of cats, but there are three main ones, i.e. food, environmental and disease reasons.

The so-called food reason is that the food fed to the cat is single or not fresh, or the smell, concentration and taste of the food is not to the appetite. The cat's sense of smell and taste is very sensitive, and if the food is slightly moldy or smelly, the cat will refuse to eat. In addition, the taste of the food should not be too light or too salty. Cats like to eat sweet food or food with a fishy smell. Environmental reasons, such as strong light, noise, presence of strangers or disturbance by other animals, etc. will affect the cat's appetite.
