Cats have become one of the most popular pets. Do you have a cat? If so, let's learn how to feed cats scientifically at each stage of growth.
1-2 months old.
Newly born cats are best fed with breast milk, and if conditions are limited, kittens can be given pet-specific milk powder or goat milk.
Please do not feed cow milk. Many cats lack the enzymes in their gut to digest and absorb cow milk and drinking cow milk can lead to indigestion and diarrhea.
It is recommended to feed 30-100 ml for 4-6 times a day, depending on the kitten's condition.
After 1 month, you can start to feed the kitten food. At this time, soak the kitten food in water and give it to the cat, and gradually change the food slowly.
2-4 months old.
At this time, cats can start weaning and feeding hard food. Kittens are still in the adaptation stage of food, so you can cook some chicken and beef in moderation and tear it into small pieces for cats.
Taurine also needs to be supplemented at this time, otherwise, it will affect the cat's vision development.
Cats can be vaccinated after two months, of which the Nobivac Tricat is the most widely used, and the rabies vaccine can only be given after three months.
The chances of cats suffering from feline distemper, feline nasal branch, and other diseases without vaccination are greatly increased, and for the sake of cat health, they must be vaccinated promptly.
During this period, it is also necessary to start paying attention to deworming. It is recommended to deworm the body once every three months and to deworm the body once every month, and to protect the cat from licking the medicine.
Vaccination and deworming cannot be carried out at the same time. Both vaccination and deworming may cause stress reactions such as diarrhea and vomiting in cats, which should be noted, and probiotics should be supplemented in time to relieve intestinal discomfort and reduce the cat's discomfort.
4-6 months old.
At this time, cats are in the stage of changing teeth, hair, and cheeks. Try to choose a cat food with high meat content and rich protein, which will make cats grow healthy and strong.
After 1 year old.
After 1 year old, the cat is an adult and can normally consume adult cat food, while canned food can be used as supplementary food.
Attention.
1. It is recommended to feed at a fixed time every day to develop good eating habits, which will help control the amount of cat food and achieve good control of the cat's weight.
2. The cat's food and water bowls are recommended to be placed in a fixed position in the room and try not to move too much.
3. Do not suddenly scare the cat when it is eating, this may cause anorexia in cats.
