Cat Slave Promotion Manual - Detailed analysis of the disadvantages of each wrong way of feeding cats, please follow and add to favorites!

1. A variety of cat food mixed feeding

Unless it is during the feeding period, the two cat foods have to be mixed and fed. Do not mix feed at other times.

1. Because each cat food has its own formula after the ratio of nutrients; the crude protein content of cat food ranges from more than 20 to more than 40; the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is 1:1 to 2:1 Not waiting... If two cat foods are mixed in a 1:1 ratio, it does not mean that all nutrients are also mixed in a 1:1 ratio. And cat food is not simply mixing all the formulas together. If you must add other things to cat food, my suggestion is freeze-drying (don’t buy the Sanwu products on Moubao and Pinxixi).

2. In case the cat has a problem with eating cat food, it is impossible to tell which food is the problem.

Conclusion: Do not mix cat food

2. Mixed feeding of dry food and wet food, mixed feeding of raw food and cooked food

3. The mixed feeding of dry food and wet food should ensure that the cat can finish eating in a short time. Bacteria on the surface of dry food can easily multiply when exposed to water. Long-term retention is a good medium;

4. Cats have different digestibility and absorption rates for meat and cat food;

5. Cat food belongs to the puffing process, and it will continue to expand in the stomach; if the cat thinks the wet food is delicious, eat more, the stomach will be filled with wet food and dry food, and the dry food will expand after ten minutes, which will easily cause the cat to vomit;

6. When cats digest cooked products, the pH value of stomach acid is around 4; when they digest raw meat alone, the pH value of stomach acid is around 2. When digesting raw meat, the PH value of stomach acid is lower than when digesting cooked food, so feeding raw food and cooked food together can easily lead to incomplete digestion of raw meat, which will cause cats to have soft stools and loose stools.

Conclusion: The mixed dry and wet food should be eaten within a short time; raw food and cooked food cannot be fed together, and the interval should be at least 6-8 hours.

3. Canned snacks can be used as canned staple food

1. Canned staple food requires high calorie, balanced and complete nutrition (that is, complete composition of minerals and trace elements, such as trace elements, minerals and amino acids, etc.), does not contain grains, starch, and has a moisture content of about 80%, which can satisfy cats for long-term feeding requirements. Canned staple foods must meet the standards, namely: more than 10% crude protein and more than 5% crude fat. Canned staple food does not add flavors and preservatives.

2. Canned snacks are the opposite, with more flavoring agents and thickeners; low crude protein and crude fat content.

Feed canned snacks as canned staple food, cats are prone to picky eaters and malnutrition. Canned staple food can be fed as a snack.

Conclusion: Canned staple food and canned snacks should be distinguished, and canned staple food must be used for long-term feeding.

4. Feeding too much tuna (and food)

5. Tuna is rich in high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids, but the high content of unsaturated fatty acids requires a large amount of vitamin E to prevent fat from rancidity. If the intake of vitamin E in cats is insufficient, it will lead to fat accumulation, oxidation and rancidity, and then form xanthophysis;

2. Most deep-sea fish such as tuna are the hardest hit areas of heavy metals, which can easily cause heavy metals to accumulate in cats and cause heavy metal poisoning.

Conclusion: Feed tuna as little as possible. A cat can supplement enough omega-3, iodine and other trace elements with 100 grams a week, and does not need to eat more; eat tuna and supplement vitamin E.

5. Feeding raw fish

6. Raw fish may have various parasites, which is unhygienic;

7. Most fish contain thiamine enzyme, which is an enzyme that breaks down and destroys thiamine (that is, vitamin B1) in food. As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin B group is easy to be deficient. If cats eat raw fish for a long time, it is easy to cause thiamine deficiency. Thiamine deficiency in cats may lead to loss of appetite, vomiting, dehydration, severe neurological abnormalities (often manifested as epilepsy), and even death.

Conclusion: Do not feed raw fish.

6. Feed cooked fish with spines

Cats can really get stuck with fishbone, and it's very difficult to treat.

Conclusion: When feeding fish, try to pick out the fishbone as clean as possible before feeding the cat.

7. Single food or frequent food changes

8. Repeated intake of the same food will cause bad ingredients in the food to accumulate in the body, which will cause metabolic problems in the long run;

9. The food that comes into contact with is too single, which makes the cat mistakenly think that only a certain food is safe and becomes a picky eater. It will be very difficult to change cat food or add supplementary food;

10. Frequent food changes will give the cat too many choices. It will choose the food with the most flavors and additives, which will easily cause picky eaters.

Conclusion: The cat's food or taste can be changed every 6 months or so. This is more conducive to the cat to develop good eating habits.

8. Don’t care about cats drinking water

9. The water content of cat food is about 6%-10%. Cats need extra water intake if they eat cat food for a long time. Chronic dehydration can result from chronically inadequate water intake;

10. Insufficient drinking water for cats will lead to concentrated urine, and crystals in the urine are easy to accumulate, causing urinary tract stones, bladder stones, kidney stones and even urinary system infections in cats.

Conclusion: There are many ways to make cats drink as much water as possible, such as placing water basins and food bowls at a distance; adding more water bowls; giving cats canned staple food; increasing the diameter of water bowls, etc.

9. Wrong place to eat

Cats like to eat in a relatively closed and quiet place. Putting the water bowl and food bowl in a relatively closed and quiet corner will help relieve the cat’s tension and embarrassment.

Conclusion: Put the water bowl and grain bowl in a relatively quiet and relatively airtight place.

10. Give cats vegetarian food

11. The cat's teeth and gastrointestinal tract determine that the cat is a pure carnivore. Their tolerance to carbohydrates is very low due to their low enzymes for digesting carbohydrates and their inability to upregulate activity, up to 5 g starch/kg;

12. Cats have a high tolerance to fat;

13. Cats have a high demand for high protein, which mainly comes from meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

Conclusion: Do not feed cats vegetarian cat food, it is no different from cat abuse.
