Summer cat food recommendations:
1. Raw meat and bone meal: Anyone can make this, even if you never cook. It includes: raw meat, organs, bones, fat, egg yolks, water, and various supplements. It contains no carbohydrates. Cats do not need to eat any vegetarian food. Homemade allows you to control the source of ingredients. It's cheaper than canned food; ground meat is the most basic option.
2. Whole chicken: Purchase a whole chicken and remove the neck and spine. Use a large meat grinder to grind the remaining parts into a paste.
3. Chicken breast: This needs to be steamed, shredded into strips, and fed to the cat. It's good for cats as it helps supplement protein.
Precautions for feeding cats scientifically in summer:
1. Prevent heatstroke: Cats suffering from heatstroke will exhibit symptoms such as loss of appetite, elevated body temperature, heavy panting, and unsteady gait. To prevent heatstroke, allow them to rest in a cool, well-ventilated place and ensure they receive adequate hydration.
2. When using air conditioning, whether it's for people or cats, it's important not to set the temperature too low, as this can easily lead to a cold.
3. Never shave a cat's fur. Many people think that shaving their cat's fur will keep them cool in the summer, but it's important to know that shaving a cat's fur will expose their skin to direct sunlight, causing sunburn and making them feel depressed and insecure. Cats cool themselves through their paw pads, so trimming or thinning their fur or paw pads will be more effective.
4. Prevent skin diseases. Skin diseases are more common in summer. While we take good care of our cats' fur, we also need to pay attention to their skin health.
5. Do not use mosquito coils in rooms with cats. One of the ingredients in mosquito coils is pyrethroids. Pyrethroids may not cause much harm to us, but prolonged inhalation can lead to poisoning in cats. Therefore, they should not be used in places where cats are present.
