The growth period of cats is not just like we simply believe that only young, adult and elderly people are only young. If you want your cat to be healthy, nutritional care during the growth period is essential.

01

"Cat growth phase"

Cat growth phase should be considered in two stages, 4 months after birth and 4 months of growth slowing down;

Kits born within 4 months of birth require 2-4 times the energy per unit weight of cats after 4 months;

The digestive ability of kittens is different at different stages, and the digestive ability of starch within 4 months of birth is lower than that of fat.

02

"Kitten Immunity"

The disease immune antibodies carried by pregnant female cats are basically not transferred to the fetus in the womb, so newborn kittens have very weak resistance to disease.

Dietary status within 4 months of birth:

During this period, starch cannot be completely digested, so foods with low starch content must be used and foods with high fat content must be fed to ensure energy. In addition, L-carnitine is also required (animal products, especially red meat, such as chicken, fish and dairy products, and some vegetables are also contained) to promote the smooth metabolism of fat for energy.

Diet after 4 months of birth:

Growth slows down during this period, and the energy required per unit weight is reduced. Compared with the previous one, it is appropriate to use foods with less energy and fat, while fully ingesting protein to promote muscle growth.

·As carnivorous animals, cats should not simply feed cat dry food. The shoveler should consider making homemade cat rice and nutritional combinations.

If you don’t have time to make your own cat rice, you can consider dry food + wet food + fresh food.

"Cat Nutritional Diet Suggestions"

If you have time to make your own cat rice, it is recommended to make your own.

In fact, homemade cat rice is a relatively simple thing. When combined with dry food feeding, use chicken breast + carrot puree + broccoli puree and so on to cook. The operation steps are simpler and easier to operate.

If you don’t have time to make your own, it is recommended to feed dry food + wet food (canned staple food) + fresh food mixed with feeding

Appropriately feed some "freeze-dried staple foods" for proper feeding.
