Now many people have cats at home, so some people ask, how many meals a day do cats eat? Is it the same as we people eat three meals a day, or a little less than we do, in fact, there are data that show that cats and kittens are not the same as we people, nor the same as the dogs we have at home, kittens just need to eat two meals a day is enough to replenish enough nutrients. We want to understand their eating habits, we have to classify them from different age stages, below we can talk about how many meals a day cats need to eat and how to reasonably feed cats of different ages.
How many times a day a kitten needs to be fed, and in what amounts, are different depending on the age of the cat. If you want to be a qualified kitten parent, you should first make a feeding plan from the actual situation of your cat’s growth. According to the needs of kittens to give kittens the most reasonable way to feed, so that kittens better growth.
We all buy cat food, we have to strictly follow and follow the instructions on the top of the cat food, the back of the bag usually has a food amount comparison table, we follow the food amount comparison table to arrange the amount of food for kittens a day.
Different diets are prepared according to the cat’s weight. For example, if an adult cat <4kg, he needs to feed 350~55g of cat food every day, and if an adult cat >4kg, he needs to feed 70~90g of cat food every day.
If you want to know more carefully, you can prepare cat food according to the age of the month, for example: 0.7kg~1.5kg at the age of 3 months, you need to feed about 40g of cat food per day.
However, if the cat is pregnant, the female cat will need more nutrition, so the ratio of cat food preparation will be adjusted accordingly, for example, if the female cat weighs 6kg, she needs to be fed 85g~150g of cat food per day.
One point is easy to overlook but very important, we should not put too much cat food in the food bowl, because if the cat does not eat it all, put it in the bowl, there may be bacteria, so it is best to have the right amount, it is best to eat it all on the same day, it will not cause waste. Do not eat the rest of the cat food the next day anyway, and replace it with fresh cat food. The basin with cat food is washed every day, these two points are very important, especially in the summer, bacteria are easy to breed, and food is easy to deteriorate, the water not replaced is easy to make kittens sick.
