Feeding homemade food is called "natural nutrition". Many confuse the concept with human food from the table. This is wrong. The latter can cause health problems.
What should be the diet of a cat
Cats are carnivores by nature, so it is right to feed them meat, eggs and fish. Cereals, pasta and flour products are not suitable as the basis of nutrition. Animal products should make up to 80% of the diet. The remaining 20% are herbal ingredients that contain vitamins and fiber.
Feeding milk, despite the stereotypes, experts do not recommend. The product is difficult to digest. It is dangerous to give uncut fish, as the bones will injure the oral cavity and esophagus. The animal itself knows what suits it, so if the pet refuses to eat some product, do not insist.
Natural nutrition assumes the responsibility of the owner for a balanced diet. Calculating the ratio of the necessary products is not as easy as it seems. In addition, the owner must measure the appropriate portion each time.
In addition, natural nutrition involves an additional intake of vitamins, which is difficult to track. A veterinarian will help determine which nutrients are in short supply.
The optimal and convenient option is a high-quality, ready-made industrial feed with vitamins, fiber and other useful substances.
