Feeding of Persian old cat

Age barrier of 6 years after which experts count cats elderly. I am deeply convinced, as at cats the age is defined(determined) by a condition of soul, as well as at the person. If your 7-years cat is absolutely healthy, you play with it(her) as with a kitten, she(it) has not grown fat, her(it) interest flying by a birds or the fly hardly she(it) can be ranked to elderly. Certainly, discounts for age to do(make) it is necessary. However, from any age you all the same should count the pussycat elderly. And then, gradually, it is necessary to translate its(her) feed(meal) on more sparing mode. Is smaller some meat, any fish (or, as a last resort, occasionally cooked), the yolk is not necessary for it(her) already and are not necessary at all neither sour cream, nor cream and anything, that by virtue of the fat content, gives loading on a liver.

To feed elderly cats it is possible once a day. Or, if you feel, that at the pussycat of a problem with a gastroenteric path it is possible to feed gradually, but more often.

It is important, that at a cat a teeth that she(it) as it is possible longer could chew were kept itself peep. From these reasons try to leave in its(her) diet vegetables - fruit, meat and a dry forage.

If you gave a cat a dry forage during all its(her) previous life do not refuse and now. Only pick up a forage of the same firm, but other age category. And gradually transfer(translate) to him(it) the animal.

If your pupil had problems with a teeth translate it(him) on canned food or on the soaked dry forage.

Watch(Keep up) weight of less active favourite as adiposity, first of all, causes other diseases of a growing old cat.

All other problems connected to health, the veterinary should solve. The competent doctor should prompt and a corresponding diet.

The basic conclusions:

A) To avoid problems with a teeth and gum in advanced age - a problem(task) which is necessary for solving during all previous life of cats. During ageing this problem should only to continue be solved with the help of hygiene and maintenance probably is longer than firm food in a diet.

B) It is necessary to watch (keep up) weight of a growing old cat, as adiposity - a source of many other diseases (a diabetes, illnesses of a liver and kidneys, adiposity of a cardiac musle, insults, a heart attack, etc.). Thus the cat becomes all less active. To solve problems with adiposity it is necessary as with the help of less high-calorie feed (meal) (but vitaminized and tasty for a cat), and by means of the games having not smaller value for the growing old cat, than for kitten.

C) Vitamin A - are especially significant for elderly cats, as these vitamins most becoming for preventive maintenance of tumours to that are subject, unfortunately, our favourites in an old age.
