The right way to feed catsThe correct feeding method for cats is as follows:
* * 1. In terms of feeding quantity **
1. According to age and weight:
- Kittens weighing 0 - 2kg should consume 30 - 85g of cat food per day within the scientific range; kittens weighing 2 - 4kg should consume 85 - 120g of cat food per day; cats weighing 4 - 6kg during puberty should normally consume 100 - 160g of cat food; cats weighing 7 - 9kg are recommended to consume 80 - 90g of cat food per day.
- Pregnant or lactated female cats should be fed three to four times a day. Pay attention to the reasonable nutritional content. Kittens that are 2 - 5 months old should be fed four to five times a day. Kittens that are 6 - 7 months old should be fed three times a day. Kittens over 7 months should be fed about twice a day. The appetite of kittens gradually increased when they were 3 - 4 months old. When they were 8 months old, their appetite basically remained stable.
2. Avoiding overfeeding: Do not feed too much food at a time to prevent the cat from eating too much. Food exposed to the air for a long time will be oxided and contaminated with bacteria. Moreover, cats have a sensitive sense of smell and will be resistant to food that is not fresh. At the same time, it also prevents waste.
* * 2. In terms of feeding frequency **
1. Eat more:
- Cats 'stomachs were relatively small and digested quickly, so eating less and eating more was more in line with their physiological structure. However, there were many problems with completely free feeding (24 hours a day to ensure that there was always food in the cat food bowl). For example, cats might become obese due to excessive intake, some cats in multi-cat families could not eat food, and cat food that was left for a long time would breed bacteria.
- If the cat was fed on time, the cat might be hungry for too long or afraid that the next feeding interval would be too long, causing discomfort and nausea.
2. Regular feeding:
- Form a regular feeding time and let the cat develop a habit. For example, adult cats could be fed at a fixed time every day to avoid random feeding.
* * 3. Other precautions for feeding **

- In a multi-cat household, prepare as many food bowls as possible to avoid the problem of cats sharing a feeding bowl.
2. Food type:
- Kittens up to 2 months old can be fed with cat food (or after soaking in warm water), kittens up to 2 months old (up to 6 months old) can be fed directly with cat food, and kittens up to 6 months old can be fed with cat food. In order to ensure a balanced diet for kittens and adult cats, they can be supplemented with canned food.
- Whether it was kittens or adult cats, it was not recommended to feed them milk because most kittens were lactose-intolerant and prone to diarrhea. It is forbidden to feed cats with human food. The nutritional composition and proportion of human food are not suitable for cats, and some of the ingredients contained in human food are not beneficial to the health of cats. Food containing salt cannot be fed because cats have a special physiological structure. They do not sweat and their kidneys are fragile. Eating salty food can cause hair loss and even illness.

- Cats are advised to drink cold boiled water and change fresh water regularly every day to prevent the growth of bacteria.
What do poor people feed cats?The poor could choose a variety of food when raising cats. Cat food was a more convenient choice, but one had to pay attention to the quality of the cat food. Although cheap cat food might have problems such as identification (it might be inferior quality, contain non-edible substances, low protein content), high content of preserving agents, unknown substances added, causing urine obstruction, allergy, etc., one could choose cat food with high cost-effectiveness and scientific nutrition.

Some fruits and vegetables can also be fed in appropriate amounts. For example, apples are rich in crude fiber and a variety of trace elements, which can help cats clean their intestines and promote digestion. When feeding, they should be chopped up and not fed with apple cores. Watermelon can be fed appropriately in hot weather to supplement water and nutrients, but don't let cats eat watermelon seeds. Papaya contains a lot of nutrients to promote digestion and supplement nutrition for cats. Pumpkin is warm and sweet. It can be fed in small amounts or put in millet porridge. Carrots were rich in beta beta-and vitamin A, which were good for protecting the cat's vision and coat color. Cucumbers were crispy to eat and were cut into thin slices when fed. In addition, sweet potatoes, potatoes, broccoli, etc. were rich in fiber and vitamins, which were beneficial to the cat's digestive system and also had a supportive effect on the cat's hairy ball disease.
Eggs were also a common and cheap food. The egg yolk could supplement the cat's yolk, make the cat's hair beautiful and strengthen its body. The eggshell could also supplement calcium. Sugar-free plain yogurt could also be fed to cats. The corn contained a lot of dietary-fiber, which could promote the cat's stomach and intestines to help with defecation. However, it was necessary to pay attention to the amount of feeding.
