Feeding of persian cats

In my opinion, feeding should be, mainly, natural:

• Meat crude, low-fat: a beef, mutton;
• A bird: chicken meat, turkey;
• A fish low-fat, oceanic (for example, a humpback salmon). Besides it is possible to give cooked shrimps and squids. Take into account, however, that many cats so fall in love in the shrimp that are ready " to sell soul " for a portion of such dish. It can make you the slave: there are shrimps on sale whether or not, is at you on them of money at present whether or not - all this will not interest at all yours child It will show in every possible way to you " give shrimps, and that I with famine shall die ". In general, many veterinaries assert(approve), that cats cannot be fed with a fish as it leads to development of urolithic illness. I do not believe that to cats a fish to give it is impossible (this the CAT!). But on loved(liked, favorite ) to experiment I do not want. I try to adhere to a golden mean and I allow a fish or fish products are not $more often than 2-3 times a month;
• An egg (yolk), cooked or crude, depending on taste of a cat. Veterinaries speak, that it is more preferable to give a cooked yolk. Probably, it is connected to an opportunity to infect cats the specific worms meeting in a chicken yolk. In avoidance of reflections on this theme, I allow crude quail (instead of chicken) an egg. But 2 times a week (to not provoke allergic reactions) are not no more often;
• Dairy and sour-milk products: cottage cheese, not sweet, without berry-fruit additives, fermented baked milk, cheese (not sharp and not salty), it is possible sintered. Cream can be given young, pregnant or feeding cats, but fat content cream should not exceed 10 %. Milk - product very specific to cats. If you can give fresh goat's milk - wonderfully. The cow milk, in most cases, causes in cats diarrhea.
• To the listed natural products we shall add professional forages. What for?

For the several reasons. But we shall name only three of them. First, they contain vitamins and microcells which are necessary for our favorites, and we cannot provide with their such substances, at times from ignorance, at times for the lack of the necessary products.

Second, if you should be absent or transport long a cat in unfamiliar district (for example, on an exhibition) hardly you can provide the pussycat habitual to it (her) with fresh meat. And in the summer, present, you are late for work and have not time to feed yours not wake up child. To not leave fresh meat on all the day in a bowl, on heat. But also to not leave a cat hungry!

And thirdly, cracking a dry forage, the cat cleans off a dental stone, strengthens a teeth. And it, in turn, prolongs its(her) active life.

From professional forages it is possible to name forages of the following firms: Royal Canin, Iams, Purina, Hill's. I try to use last from named.

Tinned forages, in my opinion, are convenient for emergencies when you had not time to defreeze meat or have been compelled to leave the cat for some time for care of relatives or neighbours (you cannot burden with the cares of extraneous people).

We have answered a question: "what for to add in the cat's diet industrial (professional) forages ". It would be desirable to answer an opposite question still: " what for to resort to natural forages if it is possible to feed only professional? "

In opinion all of the same doctor: "Dry forages should not make a basis of a feed(meal) of a cat, they can be given as additives to the basic diet or as a delicacy. Tinned forages should make no more than 25 % from the basic diet ". Probably, this opinion completely scientifically is proved, though I have not found the substantiation. However, I simply did not have necessity for search of a substantiation as internally I quite agree with such statement. Besides I can add that we live in England: whether there is at us a guarantee what deliveries of this or that professional forage will not be stopped? Also what in that case to do (make)?

So, accustom the cat to eat both meat, and a fish, both cottage cheese, and cheese, both an egg, and an offal, and a dry professional forage, and the cat's canned food (it is possible to mix with porridges), both soups, and vegetables, and everything, that to it (her) loved (liked), will not damage (injure). Do not overlook about fresh water to which the cat always should have easy approach.

For the sake of justice we shall result opinion of the official distributor of an industrial forage " Royal Canin " (it is quoted from an official site Royal-Canin.Ru:

Whether " It is possible to combine feeding by natural products and industrial forages? " - is NOT PRESENT!

Such overlapping is inadmissible. It is one of the most widespread mistakes of feeding of dogs and cats. Some owners try to add a small amount of an industrial forage as the vitamin additive to a domestic diet. Or experience, that it is impossible to eat all life only "dry breakfasts ". In fact in the nature the animal does not consume dry forages. It is not necessary to forget, that dry breakfasts for people are not the unique power supply, therefore above development of the next similar product the huge research centers many years do not work, and equation of such breakfast does not happen ideal for the person.

Dry industrial forages for animals completely other product. It is the high-grade balanced diet. At the long use only a dry forage at an animal the organism is naturally arranged to development (manufacture) of the certain quantity (amount) of the digestive juices, the certain quality and structure. Such constancy helps an organism to support a metabolism and water balance at a necessary level. Therefore fresh potable water should be always accessible. If the animal does not love a dry forage, it (he) can be soaked water of room temperature or to feed the pupil with canned food.

A feed(meal) of animals in the nature has no anything the general (common) with a feed (meal) by domestic forages as the food consumed by wild colleagues is absolutely balanced on all nutrients. We cannot provide a cat with the same set nutrients which contains in a mousy, by means of a domestic diet. Besides in the nature the animal has an opportunity independently to adapt balance for the current needs (requirements). In domestic conditions it is necessary pupils, there is that owners suggest them.

To achieve equation of a diet at mixed feeding it becomes even more complex (difficult), than at feeding an animal by forages of domestic preparation.

If at your cat the excellent (different) mood, an excellent(a different) wool and-or a condition of a leather (skin), is excellent (different) shining eyes ... If at your cat of an excellent (a different) consistence and the regular chair ... Means, you correctly feed her (it)! Read and study all materials about feeding and draw own conclusions. Trust the experience and intuition. Nobody knows your cat better you. And anybody, except for you, is not responsible (crucial) for your member of family: neither authors of clauses (articles), nor researchers, neither employees of the "fodder" companies, nor members of club. Anybody - except for you! And to make the considered and weighed decision - to you!
