WHY DOES MY CAT REFUSE TO FEED?

My cat does not accept kibble, what if my cat does not eat anymore?

My cat does not eat anymore: The cat food market is booming. Difficult to navigate all the brands and types that flood the shelves. In addition to this, there are standard croquettes, premiums, croquettes for kittens, for seniors or even for neutered cats. However, choosing the right kibble is important for the well - being and development of the cat. It should be known that the nutritional need of cats varies according to different parameters such as their age, their physiognomy or their state of health. All these criteria are to be taken into account during your purchases. In case you want to go from one brand of kibble to another, it also requires a well-developed transitional phase.

All brands of supermarkets belong to the category of so-called standard croquettes. These products are accessible to the general public because they are cheaper, available in many stores, and often appreciated by animals with their perfumes, often synthetic. However, their industrial composition is not necessarily favorable for all cats including those with poor health or those suffering from obesity. The level of lipids in these kibbles is important while the proteins are too weak. This leads to rapid weight gain of the feline, because his body does not have the energy to exercise a lot to remove excess fat. It is at veterinarians or specialty stores that one can find the premium croquettes. They are more expensive, but their composition is often more balanced, with less fat, and more digestible. We must also take into account the age before buying the croquettes. For the proper development of a kitten, he will need a lot of protein, unlikesenior cats who will need more fiber-rich products to help them digest.

"The weight of your cat is also an important criterion when shopping"

If your pet is suffering from obesity, it is essential to adapt your diet. Standard kibble will not be recommended. Check the composition on the package and opt for those whose fat content does not exceed 10%. If your cat is recovering, there are "therapeutic" kibbles using specific formulas to improve their health. There is, among other things, special food for felines with urinary problems or those suffering from digestive disorders.

"As three out of four cats are sterilized, it is essential to provide a specific diet"

The cat is experiencing changes in its metabolism including a decrease in hormonal secretions. This change will disrupt his diet and will tend to have a greater appetite while on the contrary, his caloric expenditure will be lower generally. Giving importance to your diet will avoid health problems such as high weight gain or the formation of urinary stones. Choosing quality products, reduced in fat, more rich in fiber will regulate its metabolism and maintain its urinary system.

Choosing a good diet for your cat can be complicated by the wide range of products offered. As a healthy cat is a cat that feeds well it is necessary to ensure the quality of the products used according to different criteria. It is particularly essential to adapt the feeding of a cat that has just been sterilized to avoid significant weight gain. In parallel, a good hydration is essential by ensuring that your animal can have access to fresh and oxygenated water. It should be noted that a cat also needs to purge his digestive system from time to time by eating grass.
