Tips for Feeding Your Cat

It can be challenging to determine the proper amount to feed your cat. Some cats are picky eaters who need encouragement to put on weight, whereas other felines are prone to obesity. If your cat is refusing all food, call your animal hospital immediately. If you have non-urgent questions regarding your cat’s eating habits, book an appointment at your animal clinic in Campbell to get your veterinarian’s advice. Doctors at your animal hospital can also answer questions concerning your cat’s daily nutritional needs.

Cats eat many small meals each day because they are instinctive hunters. If your cat were out in the wild, he or she would spend most of the day chasing down mice or other small prey and eating up to twenty meals daily. Because of their natural eating habits, it is healthiest to allow your housecat to eat small amounts throughout the day.
