A healthy cat

Do you know the best way to feed your cat?  Keeping your cat healthy starts with the right food. Here are some tips to make sure your furry pet stays in tip-top shape:

1. Healthy food

Because cats only have a small stomach, it’s best to feed your cat several times a day. The recommended number of times is the same for cats as for humans, which is 3 times. In the morning, the afternoon and in the evening. If your cat is still a kitten, it is best to give her a very small meal 5 times a day. This will give the cat enough energy at different times without hurting her stomach.

In fact, it is best to give a cat the normal cat food from the store. This food is specially made for cats and also contains the necessary vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fatty acids. This allows the cat to get through the day healthily without suffering from hunger.

2. Extra nutrition

If a cat gets outside then it may also hunt for birds and rodents. This prey often serves as an extra meal in addition to the standard meals during the day. This also provides her with nutrients. She supplements this extra source of food with the tasty grass.

If you want to give your cat an extra treat, you can also give her a tasty cat snack from time to time.  You have to be careful to pick a brand that your cat likes since cats are very picky.

3. Cat poison

Unfortunately, there are now some things that cats had better never consume. These evil foods are chocolate, nuts, currants and raisins. Should your cat swallow any of these things, you’d better get to the doctor quickly.

With a healthy diet and avoiding dangerous products, your cat will stay healthy and happy. In addition to proper nutrition, you should also give your cat plenty of attention. This will allow your cat to stay in top shape for years and she will never forget your care.
