Recommendations on feeding cats
Feeding should be
mainly natural products:
- Crude meat, beef,
young pork (up to 6 months), the turkey, chicken meat;
- Fish products – a fish of low-fat
grades only in a boiled kind. The preference should be given oceanic kinds of
fishes. It is possible squids and fish semifinished
items in a boiled kind. The fish cannot be the basic food stuffs and should be
given not more often 2-3 times a week;
- The egg (yolk), boiled or
crude, depending on taste of a cat, but is better boiled, once a week
- From an offal the greatest
nutritional value the stomach of ruminants possesses, besides it contains
vitamins, and on its fibers there are the valuable microorganisms necessary for
work of a gastroenteric path. It should be given
crude, but to buy only in the checked up places, to not get on a poor-quality
product. Smaller nutritional value the liver possesses, it cannot be given in a
crude kind, necessary to boil it within 5 minutes or even to scald.
Cats in the
majority do not love meat of the rabbit and mutton.
From the special
forages produced by various firms, forages of following firms are recommended: Royal Canin, Iams, Purina, Hill's. The best forages are forages
of firm Iams. Dry forages should not make a basis of
a feed of a cat, they can be given in the form of
additives to the basic diet or as a delicacy. The tinned forages should make no
more than 25 % from the basic diet.
It is desirable to
accustom gradually a cat to soup or a broth with
the removed fat. It is possible to add with meat in a forage
various porridges from following groats: buckwheat,
wheaten (but not millet!), rice, but necessarily welded on milk as the rice
welded on water or a broth, can provoke a lock at cats to which they are
predisposed.
It is necessary in
every possible way to try to diversify a diet of cats as they are conservative
and get used to one forage, and then anything, except for it do not eat.
Sometimes cats eat vegetables, fruit or greens, it is necessary to encourage their these desires, and also to land a grass in house
conditions that cats could receive with it vitamins and clean the stomach.
Periodically, 1-2
times a month or less often, tear a cat clots of a wool
which it licks from herself. If it does not occur also a wool
does not leave, it is necessary to buy special paste for dissolution of a wool
and to give it how is written in the instruction applied on a tube with paste.
It is not necessary
to be afraid of frustration of a gastroenteric path
at cats in the form of a diarrhea or vomiting. This pathology at cats if it is
caused by errors in feeding, easily gives in to treatment. Has much more
difficultly put is with locks at cats, therefore the forages provoking a lock
should be excluded from a diet. Cats without any problems can eat the fine
chicken bones which have been especially boiled thoroughly but after that at
them the lock develops, down to surgical illness of intestines.
When passes age of
dairy feeding after it it is better to avoid to give dairy products, at the majority of cats they are not
acquired and cause frustration of activity of a gastroenteric
path which is easy for curing, but after treatment the lock that is undesirable
can begin. Certainly, if the cat is inclined to locks it can be given
sometimes milk or low-fat sour cream, at a persistent
lock it is possible to give the condensed milk.
ATTENTION! In a sound body of a cat
always excellent appetite. Even if your pupil is
capricious and does not eat the forage offered to it, it should continue to beg
for meal or to be curious, that you eat. Cats like to attempt, support the
pupil in « the sports form », do not overfeed. Thick cats are ill also such
illness as decrease in working capacity of a liver, has received recently a
wide circulation is more often.
Refusal of a
forage, especially from the most favourite, a
signal for alarm, an attribute of that with your pupil not everything is all
right.
Do not try to treat a cat
independently!
Cats have not a
proper response on habitual for people preparations. At reception of aspirin or
paracetamol at cats the condition of a sharp
intoxication which can cause a lethal outcome develops.
