Cat's belly is a part of health care system and an important part of its nutrition system. The stomach contains digestive organs, including digestion, decomposition and absorption organs of stomach, intestine and other substances, which, like the human stomach, play the role of producing energy and nutrients. Cats often rest and digest quietly after meals. So even for cats, this part of the stomach is indispensable.

1. Why does a cat's stomach need fermentation?

Cats are complete carnivores and can get a lot of amino acids from meat, so their intestines are shorter than other animals and must be digested and absorbed quickly. Anatomically speaking, meat contains the most abundant protein in the whole species, and it is provided in the proportion of amino acids that are most easily digested and utilized. However, because the digestive process of animals is related to flora, cats also need some good microorganisms to ensure the normal operation of their digestive system.

Unlike other species, cats can't directly digest incompletely digested food, and these residues need to enter their intestines, which requires cats' intestines to contain a large number of decomposing bacteria to decompose the residual food and convert it into nutrients that are more easily absorbed by cats.

2. Does the size and shape of the stomach matter?

The size and shape of cats' bellies are different in different species and breeds, but their bellies play an important role in their respective breeds and individuals. If the cat's stomach is too big, it means that it may be too hungry for food and store too many meals and snacks in its stomach.

If the cat's stomach is too small, it means that your pet's nutritional intake is not enough, which will lead to its lack of energy and other necessary nutrients. The belly is closely related to the overall health of cats, so pay attention to the size and shape of the belly.

3. What is the relationship between diet and cat health?

Whether cats' stomachs are healthy or not is usually reflected in their dietary choices and habits. Reasonable eating habits are also one of the important things to keep cats healthy. Kittens and old cats have different diets, so cat owners should pay attention to providing them with abundant food in protein, which is very important for their gastrointestinal health.

Improper eating habits, unsanitary food and unbalanced diet will all affect the gastrointestinal health of cats. Especially when feeding cats some omnivorous foods, be careful not to feed cats processed foods containing too many artificial ingredients. The metabolism of these foods in cats may affect their digestive health and induce their gastrointestinal problems.
