Cat food at home - a serious topic. The nutrition depends on the health of the pet, respectively, and the peace of the master.

Feed ready-made food

Feed the cat ready-made feeds, though canned, at least dry, more convenient, easier.

Natural food for a cat.

With a natural type of feeding in the diet should be two dishes - fermented and meat.

Meat dish is quite simple. Lenten chilled beef, without veins and bones, cut into small pieces the size of a nail. Add to the meat half a spoonful of olive oil, a little mashed boiled cauliflower, ordinary white cabbage, mashed boiled beets, spinach, lettuce, chopped cat, or buckwheat or rice, in a ratio of 4 parts of meat to 1 part of the filler products. Add vitamins and mineral supplements here on the recommendation of a veterinarian and offer the cat.

At its discretion, cat food can be varied with other types of meat, once a week you can give the cat a beef heart, cut with pieces, with all the additives. A cat can not feed a cat, since it contains many vitamins and as many parasites. It is undesirable to consider the main meat component of a chicken. Fish can only be given occasionally.

It is acceptable to use a variety of sour-milk products as a food for a cat. The basis is one-percent kefir, standing in the open on the table for 1 day, and in the refrigerator - 3 days. Sometimes you can give yogurt unsweetened and without fruit, also 10% sour cream, previously diluted with boiling water, as a treat - fermented.

Constantly within the reach of the animal should be grass. Wheat or oats can be grown at home in a box of the type of "green conveyor."

Castrated cats

They require special care, another approach requires nutrition of castrated cats. The cat after the operation to remove the testes is at increased risk of getting urolithiasis, which is expressed in the formation of kidney stones. In animals, stones formed in the bladder are very difficult to remove. In castrated cats, the urethra is narrowed, so it is almost impossible to remove the stones.

From the diet of the animal, the fish is removed, since it contains special substances that contribute to the formation of the most common stones in cats and cats.

The development of urolithiasis of castrated cats is also facilitated by the fact that they rarely urinate. Therefore, fresh water should be constantly present, especially when feeding the cat with dry food.

In the case of a castrated cat drinking a little water, it is necessary to change the diet completely, to transfer the animal to a natural diet with the use of offal, poultry, beef, vegetables and cereal, sour-milk products.

Consultations with a veterinarian are advisable.
