What Do Cats Like to Eat the Most? These You Definitely Didn’t Expect
What we know is that cats like to eat fish. Actually, there are many things cats like to eat, but we shouldn’t feed them just because they like it. We need to consider their health and nutrition, and understand their habits to better feed them.
Dry Food: There are many varieties of dry food, which are economical, affordable, and tasty. You can feed your cat according to the manufacturer's instructions, and provide water properly when feeding. Dry food looks like small biscuits, suitable for cats’ teeth.
Canned Food: Regular feeding of canned food helps balance cats’ diets. Most canned foods contain nutrients beneficial to cats, including the proteins cats need. You can also add dry food and fresh food to canned food. We recommend Jin Shang Golden Tuna Flavor Cat Canned Food. Tuna contains nutrients like deep-sea fish-specific DNA and EPA, which provide cats with high-quality nutrition and good taste.
Fish: Cats are carnivores and need to eat meat daily to supplement their nutrition. Cats get energy from protein and fat. Insufficient protein and fat in food can cause lack of energy and lethargy, and can lead to developmental issues, poor muscle strength, and weak immunity. (Fish must be cooked for cats. Some raw fish contain enzymes that destroy vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 deficiency causes neurological diseases in cats and can be fatal in severe cases. Heating destroys these enzymes.)
Animal Liver: Some cats like to eat animal liver but refuse other foods because liver contains a large amount of vitamin A. However, you shouldn't feed this food too often because excessive vitamin A can cause muscle stiffness and changes in bones and joints. A lack of vitamin E can also cause inflammation of body fat, leading to pain in cats.
Fish Liver Oil: Extra vitamins and minerals should be added to cats with caution. Excessive intake of fish liver oil leads to overdose of vitamin A and vitamin D, which can cause bone diseases.
The last kind is treats, especially chocolate. Many cats love to eat chocolate in many households, but as I said at the beginning, just because cats like it doesn’t mean we should indulge them. We must consider their life and health. Although chocolate tastes good, it has bad effects on cats, such as reducing fatigue. Large amounts can cause cramps, shaking, irregular heartbeat, and severe cases may lead to heart failure and death.
