How to Choose Cat Food

My Cat, Min
Fortunately, fewer people feed their animals with leftovers, since balanced food for cats has become a practical and economical option. A good cat food will ensure the right amount of nutrients, while reducing common problems that cats suffer, as parasites, dull coat, bad teeth and bone problems due to lack of calcium.

There is, therefore, both a good idea to skimp money on food for our cats. The cat has a very sensitive digestive system, and any change could be reflected in digestive disorders such as diarrhea, intestinal inflammation and long-term kidney problems. Accordingly, a food quality that will guarantee always necessary nutrients are present in the diet.

It should be noted that dry food increases water demand, therefore, it must never lack fresh water and clean the animals. Surely, from time to time, your cat surprisingly goes hunting small prey-small garden animals, birds or insects. But that does not mean they are hungry. The cat is a hunter by instinct born, and implements only what is encoded in their genes. We take these behaviors as a game, something they are doing something because they love simply: hunt.

Collate some wet food-preparations of classic hermetic come in - is highly desirable, because in this way we will be increasing the level of liquid swallowed the cat, and diversifying your diet. But, if we change our brand, or for any reason we cannot give them their favorite food, you may not prove bite. If you are offered a food that is not to your liking, probably smell it, taste a bit and leave. Actually, when we make a change in your diet is recommended to do so gradually, to ensure your digestive balance as sudden changes can cause diarrhea and other disorders.

Moreover, we must never give them dry food that is not specifically for cats, as the dog food. The dog food is far less protein than cat food, and long-term conditions could cause the lack of nutrients essential for their survival.

Feeding cats is very important and delicate whereby we must be clear that the health of a cat is essential to know to choose the most appropriate food for your fitness, age and condition. So there foods designed for neutered animals to do a lot of animals coming out or for overweight animals, and will be important to consider our cats to ensure optimal health.

Golden
Behavior problems of cats are a common cause of concern for many owners of these pets. Many owners can identify abnormal behaviors in cats, but specifically define what a "normal behavior" may be helpful.

Usually, the "misconduct" is the leading cause of abandoned cats in shelters or on the street. The most common conflicts in living with a cat have to do with the aggressiveness and using the litter box or litter, in which for many homeowners there comes a point where you believe you have tried everything and can not tolerate the problem, and are led by this frustration and discomfort to abandon your pet.

It is important to understand and learn to differentiate between normal behavior of our cat and atypical or unusual attitude, which can be caused, for example, in a disease, or other underlying problem that should help solve.

Cats usually take several small meals a day. Normally, the size of each of its intake between 10 and 20 grams, equivalent to the intake of different parts of hunting during the day, so this habit can understand this, and understand that your digestion is facilitated to eat several times a day, in small quantities.

We must also consider that cats love to take naps during the day and night, although they tend to be very active during the hours of darkness. Some inexperienced owners often worry when your cat sleeps all the time. Although sometimes there may be a problem of a medical nature, in most cases it is just a normal cat behavior.

Cats tend to cover their feces in the litter box. Many cat owners worry (if yours does not) is that most cats learn to do this from their mothers, so if the cat has been raised only very young, you may not have acquired the habit.
