The amount of food eaten in a day is determined by the age (month age) and weight of the cat. We should take the specified amount marked on the cat food packaging bag as the standard.
However, despite the prescribed food intake, if the cat licks the plate immediately after eating, it means that the food intake is insufficient. Kittens at the peak of growth have strong metabolic ability, so they should be fed. In this case, the amount of110 can be increased at the next feeding to observe the situation of the cat. If you feed too much, it will also cause indigestion and diarrhea in cats, so you should pay attention to increasing or decreasing food intake every time you feed.
Cats gain weight very quickly until about 3 months after birth. After 4-5 months, their weight tends to be stable, so their food intake should be reduced accordingly. By 10- 1 1 month, the body is basically shaped. If the cat gains weight at this time, it will only lead to obesity, so pay attention to adjusting the diet and don't let your cat become a fat cat. In fact, fat cats are cute, too. My family just has a little orange cat, waiting for it to gain weight.
Examples of reference standards for feeding amount
Young cats (reasonable weight control)
Adult cats (scientific weight loss)
Preparation method of weaning food
From about 3 weeks after birth, you can gradually feed the cat some foods other than breast milk and cat milk. Cat food can also be soaked in warm water and softened as weaning food for cats. Give the cat soft food at first, then gradually reduce the water in the food and give the cat some solid food. Formal weaning starts from about 6 weeks, and solid dry cat food can be used as cat food.
Prevent cats from getting fat
Obesity refers to the state of exceeding ideal weight 15%. Too much food, insufficient exercise, sterilization and contraception, and the aging of cats can all lead to obesity. If obesity occurs, it is likely to lead to various diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, joint diseases and so on. So don't check whether the cat is obese regularly. Once obesity is found, it is necessary to help cats lose weight as soon as possible and strive to restore healthy physique.
Check whether the cat is obese.
If more than half of the following items are met, then the cat is likely to be obese. If you are worried, please take your cat to the pet hospital for consultation.
It's heavier than when I was 1 years old. I often eat human food. I don't know the correct weight of a cat. I'm not sure about the amount of food I eat every day. Cats don't like walking, sterilization or contraception. It is often said that cats are too cute to go up and down stairs. Their bellies are not sunken and their waists are not curved.
Key points of losing weight
In order to maintain the health of cats, the following points need to be implemented on the basis of consulting veterinarians, so as to effectively ensure the reduction of food intake and maintain normal weight.
Strictly follow a fixed diet. Diet should not be based on the current (obese) weight, but on the original (normal) weight. Give cats high-fiber and low-calorie foods and try not to give them snacks. If you want to give the cat snacks, you must reduce the amount, adjust the environment, let the cat exercise properly, and record the cat's weight regularly. In the process of reducing the privacy of cats, we can feed cats three or four times a day. Reduce the amount once and increase the feeding times, so that the cat will not feel hungry.
