Feeding your cat is a very important aspect of his health and well-being. Even insignificant details play a very important role in this process. What should you pay attention to first?
Location
To feed your pet you need to choose a quiet place. It is better if the bowl of food is placed on higher level. Cats do not like different smells, especially when they are eating. Therefore, it is not recommended to place the bowl near the toilet.
It is not necessary to place water near food, since cats usually do not drink when they are eating.
Cleanness
It is important for cats what kind of dishes they eat from. The dishes must be clean and free of smells.
According to the shape, choose round flat bowls. It is important that the animal’s whiskers do not hit the edges and splashes do not fly to the sides.
Meal schedule
Share your cat's food into several small meals throughout the day. Usually 2-3 meals are recommended. This approach helps prevent overeating and maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.
Calculation of portions
Follow the food manufacturer's recommendations for serving sizes based on your cat's weight and age. Each cat has individual needs, so it may take some time to adjust the correct portions. If you are not sure how much food to give your cat, it is best to consult your veterinarian.
Avoid food from the table
Try not to feed your cat scraps of food from your table. Some products, such as chocolate, onions and fatty foods, can be dangerous for these animals. Give your cat his own dry or canned food that contains all the necessary ingredients.
