\"Cats<\/p>\n

Cats are carnivores, i.e. they feed almost exclusively on meat, fish and poultry. The type of cat food and frequency of feeding depends to a large extent on the age of the cat, as cats have different needs depending on their age group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kittens
Just like a human baby, a kitten is still developing and needs special food to grow. During the first month of a cat's life, it feeds exclusively on its mother's milk. At the age of 6 weeks, cats need both milk and their first solid food. Between two and three months, cats are completely weaned off their mother's milk. It is recommended that a young cat is fed kitten food, both dry and tinned, up to the age of one year.<\/p>\n

Adult cats
After one year, a cat needs two meals a day. An adult cat's digestive system can tolerate breadcrumbs, cheese and fresh meat as well as cat food. The cat's diet should contain dry food and fresh food. The amount of each meal depends on the cat's activity level. Cats need a lot of vitamin E, which is found in fish oil. Vitamin E deficiency can lead to steatitis, a cat disease.<\/p>\n

Senior citizens
In older cats, the main problems are obesity or severe weight loss. Obesity occurs when the cat's metabolism slows down. Cancer, kidney failure and tooth loss cause severe weight loss. Overweight cats should be given smaller meals a day. Thin cats should be given smaller amounts of food several times a day instead of one large portion twice a day. For senior cats, it makes sense to switch to senior food, which contains a quantity of protein adapted to the altered metabolism. If there is an extreme change in weight, you should consult a vet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Canned food and dry food
For young cats, dry food helps with the transition from milk to solid food. After a year, cats should be fed both dry and tinned food. Canned food contains more water and fills the cat's stomach more quickly. Depending on the cat's activity level, access to dry food should be regulated so that the cat does not overeat. However, very active cats can be given a full bowl from which they can eat whenever they want because, unlike dogs, cats are less inclined to eat more than necessary, provided they have enough variety.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
