Adult cats
After the age of one, they become adult cats. Different cats need different foods due to their size, activity, and physical condition. You can feed them according to their cat's condition.
The elderly cat
After the age of 10, it is an old cat, equivalent to the age of 65 of a human. At this time, it requires an easy-to-digest and low-burden diet, which can appropriately increase the supply of fat and carbohydrates. If your teeth are lost or sick, you can consider providing completely soft food. When a cat is old, the amount of activity will decrease. You should reduce the amount of feeding appropriately to prevent obesity.
Pregnant cats and lactation periods require a lot of protein and calcium to help the fetus grow.
The pregnant cat will start to eat a lot within one week after successful mating. During the last two weeks of pregnancy, it eats twice the usual food.
The cats who have just finished giving birth will lose their physical strength. They can give them some soft foods that are easy to absorb, such as nutritional creams and milk powder.
The female cat needs three times the amount of food before mating during the fifth or sixth week of breastfeeding.
The above are all shared.
