Cats are something everyone is probably familiar with. So, what do cats eat? Do you really know? Actually, kittens about one month old, like humans, are suitable for drinking milk. Drinking cat mother's milk is very nutritious and also benefits the kitten's growth and development. Cats over two months old are more suitable for eating soft foods, such as rice paste, porridge mixed together. It's even more nutritious and tastier if mixed with cat milk powder. If the kitten is over three months old, then feed specially formulated cat food. At this time, you should not feed very dry and simple cat food directly. First, you may need to soak dry cat food to soften it before feeding because this makes it easier for the cat to swallow and reduces friction with the esophagus. When the cat grows bigger, gradually switch to dry cat food. Around five months, they can fully eat dry cat food.

At the same time, older cats can also eat vegetables, such as spinach, which is very good. They can also have some fruits and fish. Fish contains high protein, which is very good for the kitten's growth. Also, cats love to eat fish. Because cats are carnivores, they tend to prefer meat and fish. But these meats contain very high phosphorus. Although rich in animal protein, feeding only these foods can cause calcium deficiency in cats. Additionally, to prevent kitten constipation, you can give cats some vegetables and fruits, which are rich in fiber.

Also, it is worth noting that you should not casually feed cats human food. Because the oil, salt, and sugar content in human food are too high for cats. If a cat accidentally eats human food, it can easily cause vomiting and other issues.

The ideal cat food should contain multiple nutrients such as vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and protein, and when cooking, it should be mild. Cats’ eating habits are completely different from humans. We must never use our own preferences as cat food.
