Learn some dos and don'ts for kitten diets.
1. Eat small meals often
Kittens need to take in a lot of nutrients during their growth, so they should be fed 4-5 times a day, but the portion size of one meal should not be too much, otherwise they will not be digested.
It is recommended that kitten owners regularly and quantitatively feed their cats, so that cats can eat less and more meals, which is better for the stomach.
2. Buy special food
Adult cat food is not easy to digest.
Cat owners can buy special kitten food to feed.
This cat food will be more nutritious and easier to digest.
If the cat is too young to eat cat food, the cat owner can use goat milk instead of breastfeeding.
3. Do not feed snacks
Try not to feed your kitty treats.
Most of the nutrients in cat food are not as rich as staple foods, and feeding too much can lead to picky eaters.
When you grow up, you can feed some cat strips, freeze-dried snacks and the like.
4. Supervise the kitten to drink water
When the cat is still young, the kitten owner should urge it to drink more water and let it develop a good habit of drinking water.
If it really does not like to drink water, you can add some water to the staple food and stir to feed, which can also add water and help prevent urinary problems such as urolithiasis.
