1, manual feeding. Picking up food or putting your finger in the cat's mouth is very useful to encourage the cat to eat.
2. Lift the food plate. It doesn't take much trouble to put food bowls and plates higher, but it can often work miracles. Because of excessive gastric acid secretion, some cats tend to reflux gastric juice to the feeding channel when they bow their heads to eat. Next, if you don't eat, there will be gastric reflux and vomiting. At this time, as long as the eating plane is roughly equal to the cat's stomach, or not so low, such incidents can be well prevented.
? 3. Change the feeding place. The feeding place will also have a great influence on the cat's appetite. Some cats like hidden corners, while others like high platforms. What's more strange is that I don't eat a bite in room A, and I immediately gobble it up in room B. If there is nothing I can do and the cat can't afford to delay her illness, try to put small plates full of cat food in every corner of the house and see where the cat likes to eat. There is also a situation that people ignore, that is, many cats eating in the same environment will cause some stress. To deal with an anorexic cat, try to separate the feeding time and location from other cats, or in the worst case, keep a long distance from them.
? ? 4. Keep the food warm. Cats prefer food around 38 degrees Celsius, which is similar to the temperature of prey. Heating food can also stimulate a strong aroma, which is more likely to arouse the appetite of cats. You can try putting the canned cat in a microwave dish. When the microwave oven is on fire for about 5 seconds, the aroma of food will be emitted. Remember to take out the heated canned cat and stir it roughly to avoid uneven heating. If there is no microwave oven, you can also mix hot water into the pot, not too much and not too hot.
5. Eat after sleep. Cats seem to have an instinct to eat when they wake up. When you wake up after a deep sleep, present food to the cat immediately, and you will have a higher chance of success.
6. Change the texture of food. Cats with poor appetite prefer mushy food. They can choose to mash canned food with water or process meat pieces into paste. It is also a good idea to add water to freeze-dried food to make paste.
? ? 7. Add some ingredients to the food. Try other brands of cat food, canned cat, canned tuna and meat baby food. You can feed a small amount of aged food alone or mixed with it. In short, you should take good care of it, and don't rush to feed things just because cats like to eat.

Common sense of adult cat feeding
Cats enter adulthood at the age of 12 months. Adult cats are basically mature in body and digestive system, and can digest and absorb nutrients well. Adult cats need comprehensive and balanced nutrition to maintain the best health and prevent aging.
When cats are over 7 years old, they will have many health problems, especially in metabolism, such as kidneys and eyes. To solve these problems, it is important to feed them low-fat and low-energy foods to help them maintain their normal weight. In addition, we should ensure the content of cellulose in food to ensure the health of the stomach and intestines, and reduce the content of magnesium and phosphorus to maintain the health of the urinary system and kidneys. In addition, try to make them digestible food.
