The 7 rules of the cat's diet
1. Few but often
Many small meals are well indicated, that the cat will take especially during the nocturnal hours, rather than in one hungry meal, typical of situations of stress (even in the nature) and causing obesity and other dysfunctions. It is necessary to accustom the cat from a very young age to take his meals autonomously.
2. Balanced rations
Adjust the amount based on the weight of your cat: for every kilo of its weight, it needs to take 40 to 50 grams of ration. The ideal is to prepare it at home, with 50% of slightly boiled animal meat (beef, horse, poultry, fish, etc.), 20% of highly cooked cereals, 20% of cooked green vegetables and the rest in vitamin and oil supplements.
3. Watch out for sudden changes
Gradually get your cat new to novelty and do not try to experiment with new dishes or unusual tastes.
4. Water is important
The cat is not a big drinker: it absorbs most of the liquids with food and without the need to drink. For this reason, opt for a diet that provides for at least one wet meal a day. Soups prepared with meat or vegetable broth and enriched with cereals, meat or cheese can do the trick.
5. No "leftovers"
The cat is not a human being and should not be fed like us, or worse, with our remains. This habit is also a source of significant stress in the animal, which also has repercussions in his relationship with his master and the family life, causing conflicts and unnecessary disputes at mealtimes. Remember that certain liberties dictated by the affection are dangerous for the health of the cat (for example give him cakes and other "treats").
6. Check the temperature of the mash
Food should not come out of the fridge when presented to the cat, nor be too hot. The ideal is an average temperature similar to body temperature. Once the meal is served, except for dry kibble, it should not be left more than three or four hours for the cat.
7. No to sweets
The elimination of sweets and sugar from the cat's diet must be an absolute rule. Chocolate, in addition to feeding too much, can lead to theobromine poisoning. However, you can totally offer her a treat for cat from time to time.
