Cats have a strong curiosity and are completely unresistent to many novel foods, so some foods are often delicious but have an impact on the cat's body. So how should we learn healthy and beneficial foods for cats?

1. Dry cat food

Daily eating habits also have an impact on teeth. Generally speaking, dry cat food is better than wet cat food (canned food). Wet cat food can easily accumulate tartar on teeth, while dry food is hard and crunchy. Cats can scrape the surface of their teeth clean when biting dry food. Some owners are used to putting cat food there all day long. Cats can eat it any time they want. In fact, this is not good, because the bacteria in their mouths will be more active every time they eat. If they feed it twice a day, the bacteria will be relatively active.
Cats need to be tempered frequently. Many cat parents see cats chewing hard on their cats, and feel distressed that they only give them soft meat or soaked cat food. In fact, this actually hurts them. Give cats some hard snacks to eat, which can not only exercise their teeth, but also find some idle things for the cat to do, saving it from biting things that are too energy-efficient is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
2. Vegetables and fruits
Remember to feed fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and high fiber frequently. When chewing, you can rub the surface of your teeth and help clean your mouth.
Pet food experts recommend eating special cat food and not eating human food. In addition to being crispy and moderate and cleaning teeth, special cat food also has healthy formulas provided by experts, which can effectively ensure the nutritional needs of cats in all aspects.
In short, owners should feed pet cats more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and high fiber. They are also OK. Add some rough and crispy cat cakes and other special cat foods and gums to the cat food. They can rub the surface of the teeth when chewing. Such food is not only beneficial to the cat's body, but also very helpful for oral cleaning.
Cats are carnivorous animals. Meat and fish are both highly phosphorus foods and are rich in animal proteins. However, eating these foods alone will cause calcium deficiency. In addition, to prevent cats from becoming constipated, you can give your cat some vegetables and fruits, such as Polygonum. The ideal British shorthair food should contain nutrients such as vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, amino acids and proteins, and be mainly light in cooking. Cats have different diets from humans, and we cannot use them as food for cats. All cats have one common feature, which is that the digestive function of the stomach and intestines is relatively weak. This is mainly reflected in the sudden change of food. If the owner changes the food too suddenly, it will cause diarrhea, but there is no need to worry too much. As long as you reasonably slowly and slowly adapt to the new cat food, don’t change it all at once, it will not be easy to have diarrhea.
Changes in cat exercise will change the digestive and absorption capacity of the intestines, as well as the filtration and detoxification functions of the liver and kidneys. Pay more attention to the hardness of the food suitable for cats, supplement calcium, iron, vitamins and other trace elements in moderation, and replace foods of different flavors. Therefore, pay attention to fasting foods that are difficult to digest to ensure that water is provided to the cat.
