Guarantee of health and cheerfulness of a cat – healthy nutrition. Of course, it is possible most to prepare for the favourite, but hardly such food will contain necessary amount of vitamins. Improper feeding of a cat is reflected in a condition of her skin, wool and can lead to some diseases.
Instead of usual homemade food the cat needs to give a qualitative forage. Only before purchase of such forage it is necessary to study carefully its structure, otherwise the forage can do to a cat harm.
What has to contain in a stern for a cat? Meat surely has to be its part. As cats are predators, this product for them is irreplaceable. But it is necessary to consider that in information on structure of a forage there should not be words "meat and offal". Such phrase means the content of waste from carcass of a cattle. The stern has to contain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A, D, C, E, K and also groups B and taurine are necessary for the normal state of an organism of an animal. Also the following minerals are important for a cat: magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, iron. On packing there has to be their full list. It is necessary that the forage contained a liver, heart, easy chickens or a cattle. If the forage includes such products, then they have to be designated accurately, but not just appear under the general word "offal". The forage needs to be selected, considering age of an animal and his breed. Kitten food contains the increased percent of vitamins and minerals as the growing organism needs it. At the Persian cats the structure of a skull differs from other breeds, for them release a special forage with a form, convenient for eating, croquets. Upon purchase of a forage it is not recommended to mix several types, especially if a forage from different producers. It can lead to allergic reaction of an organism. The forage may contain small percent of vegetables and cereals (up to 50%, but it is no more).
Components which should not be in a stern.
Corn or soy protein (it is used by producers as meat substitute). Dyes and flavoring additives. You avoid forages with bright color as it testifies only to dangerous additives. And here brown color characteristic of natural forages. Fillers. If they are as a part of a forage, then your favourite will not be able long to be sated with it that can lead to fast eating and subsequently to vomiting. Chemical components. Cornmeal which is not digested in a stomach of animals. Fish and fish meal. Such components are processed by dangerous preservative. Sucrose. The high content of carbohydrates in a stern will cause a loose stool in an animal, and eventually can lead to diabetes. When choosing a forage it is necessary to read attentively its structure on packing as producers often go on cunning. Trying to hide dangerous ingredients, they write them with small letters.
