Anyone who has ever had the experience of asking their parents to help take care of a cat would agree with this saying: it is a tragic legend for elderly people to keep cats!
//Elderly cat ownership confusion behavior award
A few days ago, netizen @ Quick Bean Bu Fei discovered grandma’s aggressive way of feeding cats:
The whole bag of cat food poured down like cat litter, covering the dustpan
Cat:? Is this my last meal???
I left my cat at my parents’ house for foster care, and after three months, I picked it up and witnessed the transformation from a supermodel to a chubby one
Pre adoption vs post adoption
Mom, let me feed you the cat. I didn’t let you feed it like this
A netizen is on a business trip and asked his mother to exchange cat food for his cat.
I don’t want my mom to send me a message saying that the cat just won’t eat the cat food she changed.
The poop shoveling officer was very worried and immediately asked his mother to take a photo.
At the moment I received the photo, the poop shoveler’s face turned green and he said, “Mom, this TM is cat litter!! ”
Cat: I don’t understand why I have to poop in my own bowl?!
Elderly people who keep cats need to be fed spoonful by spoonful of water.

No wonder these spoiled cats have a special name – ‘Grandma’s Cat’.
In this title, half of it is indulgence and half is helplessness, which also shows that many people misunderstand the four words “scientific cat care” when it comes to pet cats

Food for Cat People
Braised fish, braised shrimp, chicken bones, rice… When a cat meows at you at the dining table, be sure to stop feeding its hands!
High fat content in table food can cause nutritional imbalance and picky eating habits in cats over a long period of time, and can also harm their dental health.
Especially when cats are hungry, they can easily get stuck in their throat by small bones such as fish bones and chicken bones, and even cause serious problems such as intestinal obstruction.

Not controlling the cat’s food intake
Indulging cats in cat food or snacks can lead to continuous weight gain!
Obese cats will be more likely to suffer from heart disease, joint disease, diabetes, urinary stones and other diseases, and the risk of anesthesia will also increase.
The feeding amount of cats is related to their age and physical condition, and pet owners can adjust their daily feeding amount based on the recommended feeding amount of the selected cat food.
Obese cats can choose specialized weight loss prescription foods, or gradually reduce to 80% of the standard feeding amount on a weekly and monthly basis for feeding~

Mixed feeding of multiple grains, dry and wet grains
Many cat food scavengers mix different cat foods in an attempt to achieve better results, which is wrong!
Mixing food can easily cause cats to not digest it, and if cats experience adverse reactions, it is difficult to quickly determine which type of food is the problem.
In addition, mixing dry and wet grains, including adding water to dry grains, can increase the chances of bacterial growth. It is best to feed separately and clean the cat bowl in a timely manner.
TIPS: Wet grains should not be stored at room temperature for more than 12 hours, and it is best not to exceed 6-8 hours in summer. After opening, wet grains should also be refrigerated for no more than 48 hours.

Treat snacks as staple food
Not all canned foods can be fed as staple food!
The commonly seen canned fish, canned chicken, and minced meat cat strips on the market are mostly wet snacks. If cats only eat wet snacks like this, they may experience symptoms of malnutrition. They absolutely cannot replace regular meals!

Direct Grain Exchange
There must be a transition period when changing food for cats!
Cats are naturally sensitive and need time to adjust to different staple foods. Directly changing food for cats may cause rejection, leading to digestive symptoms such as not eating, poor appetite, and even vomiting and diarrhea.
Before changing the food, you can mix the new cat food into the old cat food and gradually increase it, gradually completing it within 7 days.

Give cats vegetarian food and dog food
Cats are pure! Meat! Food! Move it! Things!
When cats consume meat (including meat, bones, internal organs, etc.), the absorption rate of animal protein is high, and it can provide essential nutrients such as amino acids, taurine, fats, vitamins, etc. Eating vegan food can cause severe malnutrition in cats.
Differently, dogs can eat vegetarian food to maintain a balanced nutrition, so the protein content in dog food is lower than that in cat food. Long term feeding of dogs with dog food can cause cats to lack taurine, which can lead to many serious diseases such as dilated cardiomyopathy.
