General rules of feeding
Cats constantly go with hungry eyes and ask again and again to feed them not only owing to the character. The fact is that in the nature these animals throughout the day hunt small production: mice, birds, small fishes. Here and genetically our cats got used to eat in the small portions, but it is frequent. Because of these constant requests and assurances of a cat of the brutal hunger can become puzzled and the owner – how many is necessary in day and whether for a pet enough? Veterinarians in this respect make the simple recommendation: day need of a cat for a natural forage makes 5-10% of her weight. For example, if your cat weighs five kilogrammjd, his portion for day will make 250-500 grfvvjd.The difference is twice caused by the fact that all animals different and at everyone the requirements. So, for example, kittens always eat more as they for growth and development need more nutrients and vitamins. At kittens the serving size will always be 10% of body weight. The adult cat can be content with smaller portions. Most less the castrated individuals (they gain weight quicker) and elderly cats eat.
To everyone on requirementsNow we will consider the special cases which are not included in the general scheme. At the pregnant woman and the feeding female, certainly, it will be perfect other diet and other requirements. The cat mom needs more nutrients, and it is necessary to increase both the size of portions, and frequency rate of their giving that is even more important. You should not weigh it, certainly, it is only enough to calculate approximately quantity of a forage which is required to it. The pregnant female is one and a half times more than the usual norm. After the okot the feeding cat will eat twice more than the habitual norm – she needs to feed the kids! It is required to the castrated cats of food less therefore the size of their portions should be reduced. Besides, it is not necessary to pass to one-time feeding. Even if your cat all the same will not eat for several receptions of the portion intended to it for day divide it into two or three parts better. And here you should not overfeed eunuchs – they very quickly gain weight that can lead to obesity in a severe form. It is required also to an elderly cat a little. She, as well as the person, loses appetite and requirements at the growing old organism not those with age any more. Elderly cats eat, as a rule, up to 5% of the mass of the body a day.
