How to Correct the Bad Habit of Cats Being Picky Eaters
Cats being picky eaters is indeed a very troublesome issue. Every time fresh food is served to the cat, it just sniffs and then turns away, causing what was once a strong body to become even thinner. To avoid picky eating, owners should train their cats from a young age to develop good eating habits. Moreover, once picky eating is noticed, owners should promptly correct it.
First of all, cats should still be fed on a regular schedule every day. If the cat does not eat, the food portion can be reduced accordingly. However, feeding at fixed times and places should be guaranteed daily, and the cat’s eating time should be limited to 30 minutes. Once the time is up, whether the cat has eaten or not, the food bowl should be removed until the next feeding time.
If the cat’s picky eating is very severe, owners can appropriately let the cat go hungry for a few meals and then prepare some cat food to feed it. It should be noted that the prepared food should only be professional cat food paired with fresh vegetables, along with sufficient fresh drinking water. When addressing picky eating issues, it’s important to note that besides feeding the main food, no other snacks should be given to the cat.
