2. During each feeding give to a cat a fresh forage. The rests of a former forage do not mix with the new.
3. The food should be a room temperature.
4. Serially give a ready forage and a forage prepared independently.
5. Do not give in to begging of a cat in the periods between feedings even if it will persistently mew.
6. In no event it is impossible to put grown plump cat on a rigid diet.
7. If you give to a cat the rests of own food, they should not be sharp, salty or sweet.
8. Before each feeding wash out a bowl for a forage hot water, not using washing-up liquids.
9. The forage for dogs is contained by much less squirrel, than it is required to a cat, therefore the forage for dogs does not approach cats.
10. Cats have got used to animal protein consumption, therefore the vegetarian food causes in them an avitaminosis.
Ready forage
The ready forage contains all substances necessary for a cat for a healthy food, namely: fibers, fats, vitamins and the microcells, which structure corresponds to a set of the nutrients containing in meat of its extraction. The most expensive forage - not always the best, therefore at a choice of a grade pay attention to the maintenance of nutrients and preservatives.
Crude food is кормявляется a high-grade food also is available on sale in the form of canned food with various flavouring qualities. Its structure represents a mix from muscular meat, an offal and various grades of fish to which are added vegetative fiber, grain, mineral substances and vitamins, and also water.
The dry feed represents high concetration high-grade food almost completely deprived of water. One part of the given forage corresponds to two-three parts of a damp forage. Cats willingly gnaw this forage, but here it is very important, that thus they drank a lot of water.
Independent preparation of a forage
If you make the menu for your kitties and to prepare for them a forage is for certain the pleasure will give to you. Thus, however it is necessary to think of the balanced maintenance in it of nutrients, what not so it is simple. Feeding only one meat can lead to an avitaminosis, and one liver - even to a poisoning with vitamin A. A various food is necessary for cats: meat, an offal, fish with addition of cheese, fiber, wheat flakes, vitamins and mineral substances.
In a set of the natural products recommended for cats, enter:
* low-fat mutton, beef, veal, a rabbit, a nutria, a hen, a turkey
* an offal - a liver, heart, chicken stomachs, an udder, a hem
* sea fish
* egg crude
* low-fat cottage cheese, kefir
* porridges - buckwheat, rice, wheat, etc.
* grated vegetables
Some veterinary surgeons do not recommend to feed cats with crude beef and veal as one of fibers of the beef meat can cause allergic reaction.
Some recommendations are more low resulted:
1. Crude meat is necessary to cut small before offering a cat. It is desirable to douse boiled water. It is possible to give meat of feathery game only in a boiled kind (danger of disease by a salmonellosis).
2. Fish should be boiled and cleared of bones (it is necessary to give it not more often an once in a week). If you assume, that your cat can have a hereditary predisposition to urolithic illness its fish to feed it is impossible.
3. A grated carrot and apples, the boiled rice, the evaporated spinach, wheat flakes give only in small amounts.
4. Two times a week it is possible to give a crude yolk, but not fiber as it destroys vitamin B.
5. In intervals between feedings can give cats cottage cheese, kefir or grated cheese.
What cats drink
Water is that drink which is necessary for our kitties; however together with a forage of a cat consume enough significant amount of a liquid. Nevertheless the bowl with fresh water should to be a number constantly nevertheless.
Milk contains many fiber and calcium and is especially valuable product for feeding cats and their cubs. Milk should be fat enough, and it is not necessary to dilute it, contrary to opinion of many fans of cats. That cats can suffer a diarrhoeia from the cow milk, depends on the maintenance in it of the sugar (lactose) which concentration at milk turning sour decreases, therefore kittens can easy drink up kefir, yoghurt, curdled milk.
