How often should you eat?

The kitten is in full growth stage, in addition to being one month old it already begins to walk around the house (well, rather try to walk 🙂) and play. For all that, you are going to need to eat fairly regularly.

By experience, the ideal is to give 4 to 6 daily intakes and let him eat until he is satisfied. Some say that they should also feed at night, but I did not do it for the simple reason that my cat Sasha, who was the one I raised since she was a baby, slept at night that it was nice to see her. Sleep is also important for the furry to grow up healthy, we must not forget it. Of course, it is very, very important that if he asks us for food and / or if he is sick, we give it to him.

Side effects of oats

Oatmeal is not always good. Oatmeal can contain chocolate or unwanted streaks. These two ingredients are very poisonous to cats and can lead to death. The daily calorie intake for cats is up to 300 calories. A single oatmeal dessert contains about 100 calories. 

This means that you have to be very careful and limit the amount of calories you eat. If you occasionally give your cat treats and raw foods, reduce the amount even more, as it is likely to cause weight gain, resulting in health problems. Raw organic cat food could be harmful to your cat. If in doubt, talk to your vet.
