The first feeding misconception is to feed snacks often: if the snacks are fed too much, it is easy for cats to develop the Xi habit of picky eating, and it may also lead to malnutrition in cats for a long time. A good staple food should meet the daily nutritional needs of cats, and there is no need to feed additional snacks.
The second feeding misunderstanding is to change the cat food directly: you must know that the cat's stomach is different from that of people, and it needs a process of adapting to the new food, which is about a week. If you don't change the new food directly, the cat may cause diarrhea due to gastrointestinal discomfort, and in severe cases, it may also cause the cat to have gastroenteritis and other diseases.
The third feeding misunderstanding is mixed feeding of dry and wet food: if different cat foods are mixed feeding, it is easy to cause symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort in cats. Dry food and wet food mixed feeding is also easy to breed bacteria, cats to meat and cat food digestion and absorption rate is completely different, dry food and wet food mixed feeding to ensure that cats can eat in a short period of time, note, raw food and cooked food can not be fed together, at least 6 to 8 hours between them.
The fourth feeding misconception is not to pay attention to the storage of cat food: we all know that food is easy to deteriorate when it is damp, and aflatoxin will also be produced, which will cause serious damage to the stomach and intestines after cats are eaten, especially the damage to the liver and kidneys is very serious. So, how should it be solved?Shovelers can put desiccant in cat food to absorb moisture inside, and use sealed buckets or sealed bags to store cat food.
The fifth feeding myth is to give cats vegetarianism: cats are pure carnivorous animals, vegetarian food is not able to meet the nutritional needs of cats, although cats will occasionally eat some grass to help digestion and hairballs, but it is not good to eat too much.
The sixth feeding myth is to let the cat eat too much liver: the liver can only be eaten occasionally, and the cat will be deficient in calcium if it is overeaten!And the liver must be cooked before feeding to the cat to avoid causing cat diarrhea and parasite infection.
The seventh feeding myth is the 24-hour buffet: if the shovelers see that the cat food is finished and immediately poured it full, the cat will eat uncontrollably, which may lead to excessive obesity of the cat. The best solution is to feed regularly and quantitatively, and eating small and frequent meals is the most suitable dietary Xi for cats.
