8 Useful tips for feeding your cat

Overview

• Pet Food is essential for the good health and
  long life of pets. Cat owners should be familiar
  with the nutritional requirements of their cats.
  Cats and dogs have different nutritional
  requirements. Cat gets nutrition from vegetable
  and meat sources. Cats need more protein and have
  greater tolerance for fat. Cat foods can be found
  in different flavors and textures. Select the
  best food for the cat and stick to that food.
  When you find the food your cat likes, and if it
  meets the nutritional requirements, stick to it
  and don't change it often because frequent
  changes may make the cat fastidious and may cause
  digestive problems.

What do cat needs?

• Cat owners should choose the food that contains
  all the essential nutrients that the cat needs to
  meet up his body requirement. Select the food
  that promote the good health of the cat. Cat
  foods are made for kittens, adult cats and the
  pregnant cats. There are different foods for
  every breed and every age of the cat but be
  careful that all food should contain essential
  nutrients (water, proteins, fatty acids, minerals
  and vitamins).

Type of cat food

• We can divide cat food into 3 main categories
• Dry Food Dry food contains approximately 6-10
  moisture and can help to keep the teeth and gums
  clean, and keeps them healthy. Dry foods have a
  long shelf life. Food that contains 34-38
  protein and 19-22 fat provides a healthy
  balance.
• Soft - Moist Food It contains about 23-40
  moisture. Cat owners prefer it because it is
  convenient and has a long shelf life. Soft-moist
  foods are more expensive than dry foods.
  Soft-moist foods contain a lot of preservatives,
  so you must be careful.
• Canned Food Canned food contains
  approximately 68-70 moisture and most cats like
  it most of all other foods. However, it is not
  recommended to feed your cat with canned food
  only because it sticks to the cat's teeth and
  this may lead to dental problems.

Tips about feeding your cat

• Following are the tips about feeding your cat.
• TIP 1 Cats that live free in the wild eat
  grass every day. Domestic cats will also eat
  grass if they have the opportunity, so cat owners
  should provide sources of green vegetation for
  their cats.
• TIP 2 Milk is a food, not a drink. The
  only drink that cats use is water. Milk is a good
  source of calcium and phosphorus which make bones
  and teeth stronger. It also provides many
  vitamins and minerals. However, you should keep
  in mind that many cats cannot digest milk as they
  grow older.
• TIP 3 Provide your cat with varied food. You
  can mix some of the new food with the old for 3-5
  days in order to make gradual changes

• Tip 4 Cats should be fed in quiet parts of
  the house where no one will bother them because
  they feel vulnerable while they eat.
• Tip 5 If you have more cats, you should
  provide each of them with a separate food bowl
  and you shouldn't keep them close to each other
  while they are eating, because cats compete for
  their food and feel uncomfortable if they are too
  close to one another

• Tip 6 It is recommended that you don't feed
  your cat from plastic bowl. Provide ceramic or
  stainless steel bowls because plastic dishes may
  give shelter to bacteria. Moreover, some cats may
  develop allergies to plastic and may get pimples
  on their chins.
• Tip 7 Older cats would like you to raise
  their food and water bowl a few inches off the
  floor because this will make it easier on their
  backs and necks.
• Tip 8 You should observe your pet closely
  after you give it new food. Any changes in the
  coat, appetite, weight or mood may indicate a
  problem. If you have any questions about the
  dietary plant of you cat, consult your vet for
  advices.
