Daily diet

Persian cat daily food

As against dogs, cats concern to true predators and it means, that in a basis of their diet necessarily should lay meat and a fish consisting mainly from fibers and fats. The vegetarian diet categorically does not approach cats. Feeding should be regular, not less than two times day. Carefully balanced high-grade forages that relieves them of necessity to prepare prefer to buy the majority of owners to the pupils. Do not overlook, that on a label of a qualitative forage should be precisely specified, of what it (he) will consist and for what age group is designed.


Recommendations concerning a diet

  • The daily diet of a cat should include necessarily: 50-60 % of crude meat, 20 % of fresh greens, 10 % of fats, and also on 10-15 % of vegetables and the groats past (last) culinary processing.
  • Irreplaceable amino acids are vital for health of a cat. For example, contained in meat of game taurine influences an acuteness (a witticism) of its (her) sight. Absence of this irreplaceable amino acid can lead to blindness.
  • Cats should receive and the irreplaceable fat acids contained in vegetable oils. Without them the wool of a cat will lose shine, and there can be the problems connected to reproductive system.
  • At a diet of your pupil necessarily there should be a corresponding quantity (amount) of vitamins and mineral additives. It, first of all, concerns some vitamin A as cats in the pure state practically do not consume the products containing carotene of which this vitamin is formed in an organism.

Some words about feeding

  • During each feeding suggest cats only I skin I peep and leave no more than for 20-30 minutes. After feeding necessarily wash the cat's bowl and wipe its (her) napkin before filling again.
  • Proceeding from appetite of the pupil, try to calculate quantity(amount) peep, which cat imbibe for once as even the dry forage which has stayed in a bowl, involves flies who carry an infection.
  • Do not give cat chicken ossa. They easily break and can get stuck in a throat or a gullet.
  • Do not give a cat too many dishes for once, including different grades of meat. It is better to offer it (her) the balanced ready forage.

Kinds of forages

Forages for cats can be divided (shared) into four basic categories:

  • The tinned forage contains the plenty of water, on the average about 75 %. Healthy this kind of forage is less preferable to preservation of teeth.
  • A dry forage. This forage is fine preventive means from adjournment of a dental stone. The dry forage usually contains about 10 % of water, therefore it is important, that the cat always had bowl with pure (clean) potable water.
  • A moist forage. It is usually sold in the pressed kind in packing a sachet. Such forages contain about 30 % of water so to develop (unwrap) a sachet does not cost, that the forage has not dried up.
  • Fresh meat. The majority of cats prefer this I peep, but its (her) preparation borrows (occupies) a lot of time, besides in that case it is difficult to make a diet of a cat high-grade and balanced. Even the cutting will not provide to a cat of a high-grade feed (meal), in it (her) there are no many obligatory substances for a cat, including some calcium. However from time to time it is necessary to indulge a cat, having offered (suggested) it (her) fresh meat, including a crude liver.

  • Overfeeding which leads to adiposity.
  • A monotonous feed (meal).
  • Milk which can cause in an adult cat diarrhea.
  • Chocolate (can provoke epileptic an attack).
  • The dog forages (they are unsuitable for cats).
