We usually keep pets, but due to work, we may have no time to feed them properly, which can lead to pet malnutrition. Today we are talking about pet cats, which are generally quite fat, but there are also undernourished cats. Unlike humans gaining weight easily, many owners neglect their cats’ lives, causing them to become increasingly thin. So, what can cats eat to gain weight?

Cats are not as food-loving as dogs, and sometimes they cannot eat the food we eat. So generally, their food is only cat food, which comes in many varieties. Cheap cat food may look like it has a lot of quantity but has no nutritional value; it is of no benefit to cats, and even if they eat too much, they will not gain weight. Moderately priced cat food is more nutritious, containing more vitamins and other nutrients. If cats often eat this kind of cat food, there will be no problem with cats not gaining weight.

If some cats do not gain weight despite eating cat food, nutritional paste can be added into their food. This is only for relatively thin cats, but the frequency of use should not be too high. Eating too much can cause nutrient overload in the cat’s body. Like pet dogs, cats also need to eat some nutritional combos. Cats can eat some animal organs, but owners should not feed raw meat. Mixing eggs, organs, and cat food together is also very nutritious for cats.

If food supplements cannot help cats gain weight, there may be some health problems. If a cat has parasites inside, no matter how much nutritious food it takes in, it will be useless because the parasites absorb all nutrients inside the cat. If the owner finds this problem, they should take the cat to the pet hospital for a checkup. Another reason could be that the cat’s digestive absorption capacity is not as strong as other cats, causing nutritious food to be not easily absorbed.
