For cats who don't like to play with cat sticks, it is necessary to consider whether this cat stick meets the cat's hobby. After all, there are so many kinds of cat sticks. For example, my colleague's cat likes simple teasing sticks made of headbands and bells, while the company's cats basically play each teasing stick several times.
Cats are also good at playing with cat sticks;
1. Cats have all kinds of toys, as well as hunting elements. They don't always chase, but wait patiently, concentrate on their prey and rush to catch it when they are unprepared. So find out what kind of teasing sticks your cat likes and how to play with them. The key point is to ensure that the cat can catch the Doby stick and let the cat play for a while before taking it away. If you have a sense of accomplishment, you will naturally continue to play.
2. The feather cat-teasing stick is actually imitating birds. Cats really like catching birds. Therefore, when attracting cats, feather-type cat-teasing sticks can imitate birds to hold them up properly, so that cats can run and jump with them to achieve the purpose of sports.
3, the sound of plastic bags is also particularly attractive to cats, so there are also cat-teasing sticks similar to plastic bags or ribbons, which can imitate the movements of mice and attract cats to play. In fact, it is enough to imitate and arouse the interest of cats.
It is also important to let the cat play with the cat stick. Don't choose when the cat just wakes up or at noon, because the cat is too lazy to move at this time. You can choose morning, evening and bedtime, especially before going to bed, otherwise the cat will be parkour if it is too energetic.
As for the cat, if you have tried all the above, but don't play with the cat stick, then you can only think of other ways to lose weight. Here are some suggestions:
1, we must first control the diet, from high-fat and high-carbon water cat food to low-fat and low-carbon water cat food. The factors for cats to gain weight are basically the same as those for people, except that cats are not easy to digest carbohydrates, so it is best not to choose cat food with high carbon content, such as cat food with high starch content.
And high fat means high fat, and cats will definitely eat too much. First, you can look at the crude fat content in the nutrient composition table, and second, you can look at whether the cat food particles contain oil. However, the oil of cat food particles is oil-free, some can directly look at the surface, and some cat food uses vacuum injectors. The oil is in the granules. You need to put the cat food granules on the paper overnight, and you can see that the oil is out the next day.
In addition, high-fiber cat food can increase satiety, but too high can also lead to soft stools. You can choose high-quality fiber cat food, such as plantain seeds and oats.
2, from buffet to regular rations, you can eat less and eat more. About how much diet cat food to eat a day, the standard of each cat food is different, and some cat food bags will have instructions.
My suggestion is that if a fat cat eats three meals a day, it can eat four or five meals. The total amount 100g is divided into five to six parts, one part is reduced and five parts are fed. Don't lose too much at once, which will easily lead to symptoms such as anemia in cats.
3, reduce unnecessary snack feeding, or reduce the amount of feeding. Cats really have a lot of snacks. Such as all kinds of cat strips. You can choose the staple food cat strips, which can replace cat food. Don't feed snacks and cat food.
Other cat snacks can be selectively fed. For example, a snack for grinding teeth is similar to a freeze-dried chicken neck. You can feed one occasionally, but don't feed cookies made of flour.
Cat snacks choose pure meat, or staple foods such as cat strips and canned staple foods. If you feed the canned staple food, you don't need to feed the cat food.
4. Don't feed nutritional products that will gain weight, especially nutritional cream. Nutrition cream can not be fed at any time, with high fat content and easy to eat fat cats. In other words, my dog just got fat after eating nutritional cream, and then he never fed it again.
Generally speaking, young cats, postoperative cats and postpartum cats can eat some nutritional cream, but if they eat good cat food, they don't need to eat nutritional cream, so fat cats can't eat it, and the more they eat, the fatter they get.
5. Exercise is necessary, but you should choose the appropriate sports toys according to the cat's own situation. If you don't play with cat sticks, choose to scratch the cat board. Cat scratch boards really come in many shapes. Basically, every kitten likes to roll on it and sharpen its claws. Scratching everywhere is also a kind of exercise.
There is also a cat climbing frame. You can buy a bigger cat climbing frame, which has enough space for cats to jump around. It's better to bring a ball to play with the cat climbing frame and a sisal rope to sharpen its claws, which is more like it.
There is also the kind of self-hi cat turntable, which has many small balls for cats to play with themselves.
In addition, if the cat is bold, you can raise another kitten or other animals to play with and increase the amount of exercise.
Finally, cats need to lose weight more than just talk. Only by controlling diet and exercising more can we lose weight.
