When it comes to feeding your Cat you may think that those products you can get in the supermarket are the best ones you can get. However, there are a lot of things you should take into account to keep your Cat healthy and fit.
What many people do not know is that feeding Cats on dry products only can be quite dangerous for liver, kidney or dental issues. Those Food products are meant to complement a diet not to be the only ingredient of it. Now, if you believed in that, it is not too late to change your Cat's nutritional habits.
Cats are animals of custom, so this means that whatever you feed them, they may be reluctant at first. But do not despair, keep on trying, you will eventually win the battle. At first they may decide not to eat the product your present them, but after some time they will get used to it and they will eat it, you can be completely sure of that.
So, for that reason, it is important to get your Cat accustomed to eating a lot of different things. From an early stage it is vital to feed your kitten with different types of products, such as meat, fish or chicken, of course making sure you do not leave small pieces that can hurt him or her, because these are essential for later development.
With the passing of time you can introduce dry products, which are not recommended when your kitten is too young. There are many different types of dry products, there are some that are designed for particular breeds, for example the Siamese breed.
You can even find dry products for special diseases or problems such as overweight, dental weakness or kidney problems. These products help prevent future problems, that is true, but do not forget that they need to be balanced with other types of Food in order not to cause your Cat any more problems.
Dry products can also be the cause of overweight, specially in the case of lazy Cats that love to eat and then they go to sleep. In those cases, balanced diets are a must, since they do not do any type of activity, they need to be given a lot of nutrients or vitamins to keep fit and healthy, and not to gain weight indefinitely.
In the case of kittens it is important to give them dairy products only after the first 6 weeks. This is because they may have digestive problems at first, but then they will need it to strengthen bones and muscles.
As it is generally recommended, consult with your vet if you see your Cat acting strange. If you do not understand what is happening to him, do not try to give him anything that may cause a greater problem, just consult your vet and do as he says.
