'Buffet-style' feeding cats will only cause harm to the cat's body

Before I talk about this article, let me explain to you what "buffet-style feeding" is.

For cat shoveling officers, this feeding method can be simply understood as: there is food in the bowl where the cat eats 24 hours a day.

Every time the cat has just finished eating the food in the bowl, the shovel officer fills the cat in time.

This way of feeding cats seems to improve the cat's happiness and prevent the cat from starving; but in fact, cats grow up in this buffet-style feeding method for a long time, which can easily cause a series of problems to the cat's body. harm.

First: lead to obesity in cats

I have a friend next to me. His cat is only 10 months old. Do you know how much it weighs? 9 pounds already.

One of my cats is over 3 years old and only weighs 8 pounds; in contrast, a 9-month-old cat weighs 9 pounds.

This weight is already obese.

For cats, obesity may only take a period of time to get up; especially the uncontrolled feeding of cats, such as cat food, canned food, cat treats, etc., provides cats with uninterrupted supply.

Do you think that if the cat eats fat and eats well, the cat's body will get better?

This is not the case. Obesity will only cause a series of diseases in cats, and will not bring any benefits to cats.

Second: cats keep drooling, which can easily cause cat urinary system diseases

I read a pet cat study before. When the cat is constantly filled with food, which brings great temptation to the cat, it will continue to stimulate the cat's brain in the beginning stage.

After the cat's brain receives the smell of food, it will send a signal to the cat, causing the cat to drool.

And cats continue to drool, and the alkalinity in urine will be stronger, which will cause cats to suffer from some urinary system diseases.

The method of feeding cats in a buffet style seems to be a means to improve cats' happiness and prevent them from starving; but in the long run, it is a harmless thing to cats.

Third: lead to anorexia in cats and reduce sensitivity to things

You think, if the cat has a strong sense of satiety every day, there is delicious food in front of it, and it is inexhaustible.

As long as the bowl is empty, you fill the cat, and the cycle goes on and on.

The cat's heart and appetite will become more and more cold with this uninterrupted feeding; no longer like to eat, even picky eaters.

Over time, your cat will become a very greedy and picky cat.

First: control the cat's food intake, eat less frequently

Cats are just like people. People have three meals a day, and occasionally they will add a meal when they are hungry.

The same is true for cats, don't give your cat a non-stop feeding method, but give your cat several small feedings.

If you are an office worker, you can feed the cat once in the morning when you go out, and feed the cat again when you come home from get off work in the afternoon; if the cat is still hungry, give the cat less cat food when sleeping.

By letting cats develop this feeding habit and biological clock, they will not be particularly dependent on food, and their curiosity and demand for food will be maintained at an average level.

Second: Be sure to let the cat add enough water

Cats themselves don't like to drink water, so it is a tricky thing for a shovel officer to let cats drink water.

However, cats cannot drink enough water every day, and they only eat cat food, cat snacks, etc., which will lead to new physical conditions in cats.

Therefore, the shovel officer can put more bowls for cats to drink at home, so that the cat can see the water bowls wherever they go; or, when buying canned cat food for cats, they can choose some wet food, which can also be used in wet food. Give your cat some water.
