Cats are quite demanding creatures, especially in terms of food. It happens that it becomes difficult for the owner to control the weight of the pet, which demands and demands food.
It may be a mistaken impression that the cat is not getting enough food. Let's find out if there are any signs that indicate that the animal is starving.
Experts warn against the desire to follow your pet's lead and increase the norm over and over again.
This is the path to obesity, which leads to problems with digestion and the cardiovascular system.
General recommendations
On average, a normal cat or male cat weighs 2.5-5 kilograms. Fluctuations are associated with the characteristics of the breed and the animal's lifestyle.
For an ordinary domestic cat, any deviation from the norm can be considered a violation of the feeding regime.
To determine this, take the animal in your arms and feel for signs of thinness in the rib area.
If you can feel a layer of fat on the ribs, but the bones are not visible, then the animal’s condition is normal.
In other cases, it makes sense to contact a veterinarian who will prescribe the norm and help you choose the right food for a hungry or overweight cat.
In addition, it is important to remember that cats, in addition to food, need access to clean water.
