Chinchilla cats are one of the most common and very popular and beloved pet cat breeds. When people see a Chinchilla cat for the first time, they are attracted by its charming appearance and noble, elegant temperament and hope to have such a lovely pet cat at home. The following is a brief introduction to the proper methods of raising Chinchilla cats for everyone to reference and share experiences.

　　The amount of food fed to a Chinchilla cat at each meal should be determined according to the cat’s age, activity level, and temperament. During the kitten stage, owners can prepare some puppy food; soak it in warm water before feeding it to the Chinchilla cat. After the Chinchilla cat reaches adulthood, to add more variety and nutrition to its diet and to protect the pet cat’s dental health, owners may consider feeding a combination of canned food and dry kibble, either mixed or alternated.

　　About ninety percent of Chinchilla cats know how to regulate their food intake to maintain a balanced and slim body. Even so, owners should not let cats eat excessively. Obese Chinchilla cats are indeed more prone to health problems. If owners want their pets to have a healthy body and ideal weight, besides controlling food portions, they should also provide toys for play and exercise.

　　In fact, water is as important to Chinchilla cats as it is to humans. It is not only a necessary element of diet but also a basic nutrient that is often overlooked by most owners. Although cat food contains water, owners should always keep fresh drinking water in their cat’s bowl, especially in hot weather. This helps prevent the cat from drinking from the toilet or searching for water in the kitchen or bathroom.

　　Owners should strengthen training and management starting from the kitten stage so that Chinchilla cats learn good living habits. Owners should feed kittens multiple small meals a day, usually at least four times daily. After adulthood, feeding twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, is sufficient.
