What is the best diet for short-haired cats? If you have just adopted a furry one and you don't know what it should eat to be well, this time I am going to tell you a little about the diet that cats should follow.
And it is that we are what we eat, and a bad diet can be the first cause of disease in any living being.
Don't be fooled: short-haired cats eat the same as long-haired cats
In recent times there are certain commercial brands of I think that try to deceive people by putting on sale food for cats with long hair, others for those with short hair, ... and there is even for almost all breeds! Where do we get…
All cats, regardless of their hair length and breed, need to eat the same thing: meat. They are hunters, they are felines. You will not see any cheetah - to name one - eating cereals ... which is exactly what they carry that food manufactured by these brands, as well as those sold in supermarkets.
Food should be as natural as possible
Ideally, the kitten should be used to eating natural meat. (that is, bought in a butcher shop), because in this way we will ensure that it will have a normal growth rate, and not accelerated. However, we will not always be able to give them this type of diet, so in these cases we should choose to feed them The future of television is here such as Applaws, Orijen, Acana and the like that have a high content of protein of animal origin and do not contain any type of cereal.
I'm not going to lie to you: these feeds are expensive. The kilo comes out for 3-7 euros depending on the brand. But the money is better spent on high-quality food than on veterinarians.
Leave the feeder always full
Cats are animals that eat a little bit several times a day. Forcing them to follow a schedule, one that we have set without thinking about their well-being, can cause stress and anxiety.. For this reason, it is very important that we always leave food at their free disposal.
If we play with them three times a day for about 15 minutes - or until they get tired - we will not have to worry about anything, since they will keep their weight. In any case, what we can do is, if we are going to be out for half a day, put half of their daily ration on them - it will be indicated on the bag - and when we return we will add the rest.
With these tips, you are sure to be in good health.
