We all know that feeding cats is a very important part of the process of raising cats. Correct feeding habits not only help cats’ health and happiness, but also deepen the emotional bond with us. However, during the feeding process, many poop shovelers may fall into some common misunderstandings, which may hurt the cat's stomach and intestines and affect their health. Therefore, today Xiao Ai will take a look at the four major feeding misunderstandings that are easy to make for raising cats. All shovelers should pay attention!
Don't wash cat dishes
Many shovelers often add cat food directly without cleaning the cat dishes after they find that the cat bowl is empty. But in fact, cat bowls need to be cleaned every day to keep them clean. In addition, if the unfinished food is no longer fresh, it should be poured out. This is because the remaining food in the cat's bowl is prone to breed bacteria. If the cat eats it directly, it may cause soft stools, diarrhea and other problems.
Change the grain directly
Some cat shovelers will directly exchange the grain for cats to eat because they like to try different flavors of cat food for cats, which is also extremely wrong! You should know that cats have a more sensitive stomach and frequent and direct changes to food may lead to indigestion symptoms such as soft stools and diarrhea. Especially for kittens who have just arrived home, Xiao Ai suggests that you should gradually transition to new cat food and avoid changing it directly.
Not controlling the feeding amount
In addition to the above misunderstandings, some shovelers may also choose to provide cat food for cats 24 hours a day to allow cats to eat freely because of busy work or lazy work. But it should be noted that this practice may cause cats to overeat and cause obesity problems. Cat food is easily damp and deteriorated when exposed to the air for a long time!
Not paying attention to storing cat food
The last and most easily overlooked point is that many shovelers do not store cat food properly, which may cause harmful bacteria to grow in cat food. Cats will also experience discomfort symptoms such as soft stool and diarrhea after eating it. Therefore, for the sake of cat health, cat shovelers should pay attention to the storage of cat food.
