Life expectancy of a cat, her health and health are in direct dependence on what she eats. With food of adult cats usually there are no particular problems. And how it is correct to feed the Persian kitten?
Instruction
1. As a rule, kittens are transferred to new owners at the age of 9-12 weeks. Getting little "Persian", obtain all information on a diet at the owner and from the first day observe all instructions. Do not allow sharp change of the food mode. Separation from mother, brothers and sisters, from the habitual environment is already a stress for a kitten. The danger of infectious diseases, connected that the organism of the kid ceases to receive necessary antibodies from mother is added to this period. In this situation it is necessary to provide to a kitten especially thorough care.
2. So far your kitten will not be 4 months old, it is necessary to keep the five times mode of feeding. By sixth month – to reduce number of feedings to three, keeping norm of a day diet. The three-months kitten has to consume about 170 g of food a day (5 feedings in 3 hours), four-months – about 200 g of food (4 feedings in 3-4 hours), five-months – 200 g of food (3 feedings in 6 hours). It is possible to switch over to the two times mode of feeding on reaching the pet of one year.
3. The day diet of a kitten has to consist of two thirds of meat and one third of a garnish (milk porridges, cottage cheese and boiled vegetables). It is possible to use fast meat (beef, mutton, rabbit flesh) and also boiled sea fish (is not more often one-two once a week). One-two times a week one portion of meat can be replaced with an offal (liver, kidneys, heart). The portion of milk food can consist of the made wheat or oat flakes. Grain contains the carbohydrates necessary for kittens in small quantities. Instead of cow's milk it is better to use the powdered milk dissolved in water. Ideal option – goat milk. Approximate deal of a day portion of food of a kitten: • the 100-120th meat; • the 20-30th milk food; • 10-20 grain; • 20-30 vegetables. One-two times a week the kitten can offer a half of a yolk of boiled egg which contains vitamin E (biotin) necessary for an animal.
4. It is necessary to give to little "Persian" and additives from the mineral medicines promoting strengthening of a skeleton and growth. The Persian cats surely need taurine. This amino acid contains in animal products, its shortage leads to heart troubles, a blindness and reproductive problems. But, after all, before use of vitamin medicines for kittens it is necessary to consult to the veterinarian. The need for vitamins can partially become covered due to addition in food of vegetable oil and the vegetables (carrots, a cauliflower, parsley) which are well crushed, added to a forage. They can be passed via the meat grinder together with meat or boiled fish.
5. In pet-shops there are many ready balanced kitten food, both dry, and tinned now. Producers of forages do not approve the mixed feeding (canned food with a dry feed). Dry feeds are convenient for kittens on the way, they do not spoil and leave clean a snub-nosed Persian muzzle. Preserved – well are suitable for the little kittens having a weak tooth system. Of course, what forage to allow a kitten – to solve to you, but if your choice after all favors some ready-made feeds for kittens, but not natural food, then try to get forages of the top class for little "Persian". Such forage not costs little, but is the full-fledged specialized forage satisfying all needs of a kitten for vitamins, nutritious and mineral substances. If you give to a kitten of sterns of the top class, then it will need no additional additives. Such forages are very well acquired – not less than 85%, and in them there is no soy protein. Their recipes are developed by specialists in feeding and checked on hundreds of animals. Besides, forages of the top class do not contain artificial flavoring additives and dyes, but at the same time are very tasty and kittens with great pleasure eat them. Recommendations about feeding, as a rule, are specified on packing with a forage.
