Now your little kitten has already turned into a big, adult cat. And, of course, baby food with cereals with milk will only harm her. On them, an adult cat will not only gain weight, but also earn some illnesses. Therefore, it is worth changing her diet. But take your time, and slowly change her taste preferences for good habits. A lot of human food is contraindicated for cats, because they do not have enzymes that break down certain foods.
Instructions
Step 1
It is known that cats are more picky about food than dogs. This is because they have more gustatory nerves. Therefore, pleasing an adult cat is not as easy as it seems. Cats are conservative by nature, and very rarely change their habits. It is necessary to teach them to eat healthy vegetables and herbs from infancy by adding them to cereals.
Step 2
Cats need more meat than dogs. And her diet should mostly consist of protein foods. The cat needs meat every day, several times a week it can be replaced with lean fish (cod, hake, pollock, carp). Sea fish must be scalded with boiling water, and river fish must be boiled for a couple of minutes to get rid of the risk of infection with helminths. Because of the fish, the cat's urine smell may change - it becomes sharper; and cats may develop urolithiasis. It is better to give the fish together with bones, entrails and scales, previously chopped in a meat grinder. It contains iodine, phosphorus, calcium, which keep cats in shape.
Step 3
The cat needs raw meat. Cut a piece of beef, veal, lean chicken, lamb, or horse meat into small pieces. Then scald them with boiling water if you are not sure about their quality (in the absence of helminths) and mix with the main meal. Pork meat should not be given to the cat, it is too fat for the animal's body. But offal can sometimes be offered, they contain vitamins of group B, vitamin A and H. Meat with tendons for a cat will be more useful than the muscular part. It contains collagen, glutin, gelatin - they help the stomach to digest food, stimulating the secretion of juice. A little animal fat will do the trick for your cat, too.
Step 4
Protein is also found in legumes (peas, beans, beans), but your cat needs animal protein. And even if your pet enjoys eating beans, you shouldn't get carried away with it. Vegetable protein is poorly digested by predatory animals, their intestines are adapted to digest only animal protein.
Some butcher shops sell trachea, lungs, or scars for animals. They are also considered tasty treats for cats. They contain tons of digestive enzymes and are well absorbed. But do not get carried away with them, the animal can quickly gain weight from them.
Step 5
Vegetables and herbs must be present in the diet of your pet. They are a source of many vitamins and minerals. But many cats do not like to use them. In this case, it is worthwhile to contrive and add finely chopped vegetables to your favorite food.
there are cats who happily eat cucumbers and can chew them fresh. Some cats do not miss the moment to feast on raw potatoes. Remember that beets relax the intestines, they will be useful for constipation. Fresh cabbage puffs up the stomach, and the cat will feel discomfort. It can be added a little when cooking cereals. Zucchini is also worth boiling. Carrots can be finely grated, seasoned with sour cream or butter and given to the cat in this form. If she doesn't eat it fresh, add it to the porridge. You can also add spinach, dill or parsley to the porridge. They have antioxidant properties.
Fresh green grass is also good for the cat's stomach. It contains some essential vitamins and is also a natural “stomach cleaner” from wool. The coarse grass causes vomiting in the stomach, thereby clearing it.
Step 6
Water should always be within reach. It is better to change it every day for a fresh one, even if it has not been drunk. If your cat prefers to drink from a puddle, then the tap water is too chlorinated. In this case, just pour boiled water over it. Do not let her drink in the garden, as there may be parasites or fertilizers. If the cat does not drink at all, then add more liquid to the food, this will prevent dehydration.
Don't forget about vitamins and minerals. They are necessary in a natural diet because not all vitamins can be absorbed from foods. It is useful to give your cat fish oil, it is sold in pet stores. Add it to fish porridge.
Step 7
If you do not want to prepare food for your cat separately, then there is an option to switch it to dry industrial food. Today the range of food is so wide that you can easily choose the one that suits your cat. In dry food, the composition is already balanced, and you do not need to add vitamins and other foods to it. But there should always be water next to the industrial food bowl.
