The balanced cat's forage is very convenient for owners and is useful to pets. However it happens that the cat refuses to eat expensive, carefully chosen granules of prestigious brands. What's the reason? How to convince the pet to eat properly?
Reasons for refusal of a forage can be a little. Most often categorical ignoring of food means that the animal just does not like the brand chosen by the owner. Cats have personal preferences, sometimes very strange. They do not depend on breed – sometimes the titled Persian or a sphinx with pleasure eats everything offered, and Barsik who is picked up on a garbage can refuses expensive professional forages. Try to replace the brand. It is the best of all to get several small packages or to buy granules by weight. Sooner or later you will find a grade which your cat will approve.
Sometimes the refusal of granules means that the animal was bothered by dry feeds. Offer it canned food – their cats eat more willingly. Some pets prefer a pastelike forage, another the structure of pieces in jelly is more to taste. There is no need to excessively diversify a cat's table – if your animal approved shrimp paste, buy it. And here he can reject game or salmon paste. Do not change the pet's diet needlessly. It is the best of all to alternate damp and dry of sterns. Usually cats have willingly breakfast canned food, and here at bedtime prefer "drying". Some owners prefer to leave a bowl with a dry feed in free access that the cat could eat in any time convenient to it. If the pet refused a forage, remove a bowl. Next time offer it the new portion filled from the closed package. The fresh forage has more appetizing savor which, most likely, will interest a cat. You watch purity of a bowl – some animals refuse to eat if their plate is stuck around by the dried-up remains of the previous meal. You watch that dry granules of a forage did not get to water – cats usually reject the soaked "drying". If the animal refused repeatedly offered food, pay attention to its state. Refusal of food – one of indisposition signals. The cat hides, does not drink, does not go to a toilet, accepts unnatural poses? Perhaps, he got sick. In this case do not postpone a visit to the veterinarian. Cat's indispositions often proceed asymptomatically, but it is impossible to ignore them – so easy to pass a serious disease or a trauma.
