CAT FEEDING

  Cat feeding should follow the dosage recommended by the veterinarian; non-compliance with these instructions can lead to weight gain in cats and the development of various health problems.

              The growth phase of cats requires special attention in nutritional care, as cats have a smaller digestive capacity, smaller teeth, and consume smaller amounts of food. Depending on their development, kittens consume approximately twice as much energy as adult cats. Protein demand is also higher, meaning they need complete and balanced nutrition.

              After 12 months, a cat is already considered an adult, and its nutritional needs change. The feline must transition to a new, nutritious, balanced diet capable of meeting daily needs. For neutered cats, there is a decrease in hormonal production, and the neutered cat has different nutritional requirements. Therefore, the food source must be changed. After neutering, some cats tend to become less active and can therefore gain weight. It is essential that the food ration for this phase is rich in specific nutrients and adjusted caloric levels. It is also important to know the ideal quantity of food when transitioning from one product to another. Changing the diet can cause temporary diarrhea or softening of the stool; to prevent this, a gradual change in the ration is recommended, as follows: for the first two days, mix 25% of the new food product and 75% of the old food; on the third and fourth day, mix 50% of each type of food product; on the fifth and sixth day, offer 75% of the new food product and 25% of the old food, and starting from the seventh day, 100% of the new food. Choose super premium food for your cat.
