How to cultivate good eating habits for cats? How to make cats eat regularly?
We always emphasize that to enable pet cats to develop good eating habits, we need to start training and training from the time the cat is young. So how to cultivate good eating habits for cats? What useful methods do you need to learn to master during this cultivation process?
1. Develop the habit of eating regularly and at regular intervals
If you want cats to develop the good habit of focusing on eating, you must give the cat a regular meal at a certain time and quantity from an early age. Don’t let the cat’s rice bowl always have food. If the cat’s food has been stored for a long time, the taste and smell of cat food will be bad, which will cause waste. Let the cat develop the habit of focusing on eating. It is limited to pack the cat food without finishing it within 30 minutes and wait until the next time it is served. Don’t let the cat develop the bad habit of eating whenever they want to eat, and not want to eat later. Once this habit is formed, cats will become more picky in food. Just imagine, in the summer, there is still leftover rice in the cat food bowl, which is prone to rot. Cats may cause gastroenteritis when they go to eat.
2. Develop the habit of eating in a fixed place
When some cats eat their favorite food, they like to bring the food into a hidden, self-safe corner to prevent it from being snatched away by other cats or animals. Some cats will also take the food out of food to facilitate the meal when they eat their favorite food. This is a very bad problem: hidden corners are usually dead corners of home hygiene, which are dirty. If the cat takes food over and eats it, it will get dirty. Even if the house is not dirty, the cat takes food out and eats it will make the place dirty. Therefore, when you find that cats want to hide their food and eat it, you must stop the cat's behavior in time, put the food in the food utensil, or put a clean sheet of paper (or plastic cloth) near the food utensil, so that the cat can eat on the paper (or plastic cloth) so that the cat can understand that the place you are looking for is clean, safe and convenient for eating, so that the cat will not pick up the food everywhere.
3. In summer, you should develop the habit of eating less and eating midnight snacks. The weather is hot in summer, and people's appetite will become worse, not to mention cats wearing big leather jackets. The hot weather makes cats less willing to eat, so in summer, you should adjust the time for cats to eat and eat less and eat more. Give more breakfast, less lunch and dinner, and give the owner a little extra supper before going to bed. That is, when it doesn’t get hot at around 7 o’clock, give a little more, at around 12 o’clock, at about 6 o’clock, and at about 11 o’clock, and at about 11 o’clock, so that the cat can eat full.
4. Don’t give canned snacks casually. Snacks and canned snacks are of no benefit to the cat’s body. They will contain additives and preservatives. Just like children need to eat less snacks, it doesn’t matter if they eat once or twice, but regular snacks and cans for cats will make cats picky about food. Snacks and cans are only rewarded for cats when they perform well.
5. Eating cat food one to twice a week can not fully meet the nutritional needs of cats. You should improve the food for cats once or twice a week and cook some meat. It is best to give the cat a fixed time to cook meat, and the cat also knows that it will taste delicious ones on one day and is particularly looking forward to it.
