When I learnt about whisker fatigue I realised that's why my kitten had stopped eating her usual amount. As soon as i changed it, she ate all her food. I felt so guilty but luckily i caught it early because im always searching for more cat info which is why im here lol
I put out 1/2 cup of dry food and 1/2 small can of wet food every night before I go to bed at night. During the day I put out 1/3 small can of wet food for 9am,12 pm,3pm,and 6 pm. I’ve got a big rag doll who weighed 11 pounds at her last vet visit. She never gets human food or fish because she won’t eat it at all. I’ve had other cats that liked cheese or French fries occasionally but they were all rescues off the street so I limited those treats to about once a month.
I had 2 cats adult and one of them was gavebirth for 5 kittens and I feed that momi cat with a boiled chicken liver and chicken breast, morning and night, then dried food alternative,, it is that ok?
My 3 oranges (siblings) have different preference when it comes to food.Maggie prefers boiled fish or chicken with boiled mashed squash, Cham prefers meat with a little soup on it, while Chi is the most unusual cat, he prefers boiled squash, mung beans and string beans, he eats too little of meat, fish or chicken. I miss them.
Cats are extremely picky about their food and have very clear preferences. My Indi eats tofu, chickpeas, chestnuts, asparagus… he is a big fan of almond milk 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for the very nice comment. I put a lot of work in each video - and a lorn of live for cats. I am always happy when all of this is conveyed in my videos. Stay tuned, a lot more to come! Thanks again from me - Elena, and the furry friend Indi - he is my love and inspiration ♥️
Cats in the wild get a lot of their liquids in their diet from the animals they kill. Lately I've been adding a little water to their wet food and a sprinkle of dry food that my cat seems to enjoy.
All the kibbles and wet food i feed my cats contains chicken. Could one of them be allergic to chicken as she quite often vomits after she's eaten. She is 14 years old otherwise healthy and loves her food especially the wet food. I've been trying to work out why she vomits after her wet food especially. Perhaps she eats too fast butbi only give her a spoon or two of the wet food 🤔
If she only vomits after the chicken it might be something about the chicken. This said, it’s really best to check in with the vet. After you’ve ruled out actual health issues, you can focus on very small portions frequently during the day. This said, the first thing is a vet visit.
Oh, my neighbour's strays eat 'natural': they decimate my garden-rat colonies and afterwards come for a taurine-stick, and leave to hunt again. They only leave the intestines for me to clean up. (And if I don't dig those in, quickly, the rats come and cannibalize on the remains of the members of the neighbouring colony. - Animals are so... so... ugh.)
@cclars6411 A mix of dry and wet food is really the way to go. We don't all have enough time to cook cat meals, so high quality store bought. talk to your vet for portion size! I hope this helps
@@wiseanimalschannel The problem with most dry food is that it is full of grains and carbohydrates that cats don't need. Most wet foods are high in calcium and phosphorus. A 2022 survey by APOP, shows 61% of cats are overweight or obese. This is because 81% of cat owners state they feed dry kibble all or most of the time. And they make dry food available all the time. An affordable, grain free, low in calcium and phosphorus dry food is difficult to find. If you cook for yourself, you can make homemade for your cat. When I make hamburger or meat sauce, my cats get raw ground beef. Chicken thighs or salmon. My cats and I eat the same thing. I just can't season the meat, for me, until after it is cooked. Happy Sardine Sunday!
@@cclars6411 The #1 cat food sold is Purina Cat Chow. It has 411 calories per cup. A healthy adult house cat needs about 250 calories a day. That means you should only feed about half a cup of food per day. And it is mostly corn, wheat, rice and soy. Cats are obligate carnivores. They need meat protein for their nutritional needs. Especially the essential amino acid, taurine.
My cat eats sliced ham and "Greenies." Years ago, when I was a poor E-4 in the Army, my cat ate leftover rice flavored with fish sauce, and she was healthy.
I fed all my cats in the past dry cat food and they all lived to an old age without any health problems. Just not quite the 20 years my daughters cat did eating dry food.
How easy it is to put our faith and trust in money but this is just an illusion. Through the cross our great debt has been paid and through the resurrection our future wealth is assured. Let us rest daily in this. Amen 🙏 🙏
My rescue girl would eat nothing but her Purina dry food. She would ignore salmon, tuna, chicken that I was eating. One day I gave her a taste of Churu, a higher quality paste/gravy from a tube in which I was told was "cat crack." Although she seemed to warm up to me, she began to "beg" until I squeezed more Churu on top of her dry. She was never the same predictable eater. She did not drink nearly as much water as before especially when I adopted another cat. She will dip into his bowl of medicated wet food but will hardly touch her original dry. Most of these pet foods, wet and dry are not regulated by the USDA and are basically waste scraps and grain fillers. So I now have one Churu addicted cat that is happy as long as I feed her a tube or 2 a day.
What I mean is that cats cannot thrive on a vegan diet, unlike other animals. This said if the food does contain some veggies - like carrots or pinoli or peas or zucchini those veggies are ok. As long as they are very little portions as part of a meal consisting primarily of animal protein. I hope this helps?
They are carnivores, and most of the prey they consume are herbivores, it will mimic more naturally how they would eat in the wild, and it’s more balanced. They get the vegetable nutrients directly from their prey. Indoor cats don’t have the same luxury, so you should still try to include them.
Quick question... Is your cat a scardy cat? You know what i mean? Or is the cat stressed? I have a Ragamuffin who i have had since he was a kitten. He made friends with a girl feral we call Jr. We have been feeding Jr's papa for many years now. 10 months ago we homed jr so they could grow inside together. Well jr has yet to be comfortable. She is ok but hides and wont let us pet her, yet. Jr will eat fast. Galaxy calls it "scarf and barf." He suggests making the environment more comfortable, perhaps turn off the tv, feed just you and your kitty without distractions and split 1 meal up. Say 1 container, split into 2 servings over 15 minutes... Idk if this helps you. It is a process, ya know. I want jr to be comfortable but she hides, her brother is still feral but we pet and even hold him.
Indi always gets scared about everything. he was like that when he adopted me 8 years ago and never changed from that point of view. My behavior expert told me that the experiences they have in the first 3 months of their lives leave marks forever. Indi found me when he was three months old and had been living outdoors in a colony. Many people in the area were fine with the cat colony. As usual though, you always have rotten apples ... some people did things to harm the cats... I guess Indi was kind of scarred by those experiences. I work from home so he doesn't stay alone, I dedicate plenty of time to play, attention, cuddles. I am extremely careful with noises because I know they freak him out. I have regular visits with the behavior vet and he keeps telling me there is nothing I do that can cause him stress. Plus which, the causes of feline hyperesthesia are not well known. The one thing I know is that he had a genetic predisposition because his dad was Siamese breed (this breed is unfortunately more likely to develop hyperesthesia). Thanks for your comment
Why say I am feeding my cat wrong? You make me feel guilty. That is bad. Why say I am feeding my cat wrong? I don't even have a cat!! 🐈 😂😂 (Video titles like these are confrontational and offensive.)
THE TITLE WAS NOT ACCUSATORY. IT WAS INFORMATIONAL. POP YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR *SS. AND- If you don't have a cat --- and you just dived in here to be a TROLL, STFU & MYODB.
3 stays just walked into my life, I love em' . im going to the vet as soon as I can to help make sure they get all they need.
The cat distribution system was very generous. You must be a kind person.

Very well done! Hope my channel helps you with your kitty!

Sounds like you are doing a very good job with feeding! As you say, treats are OK but occasionally

My cats it's strays cat❤
My brother's family have 8 cats and they keep their bowls full day and night. These cats are very active indoors and outdoors.
My 3 oranges (siblings) have different preference when it comes to food.Maggie prefers boiled fish or chicken with boiled mashed squash, Cham prefers meat with a little soup on it, while Chi is the most unusual cat, he prefers boiled squash, mung beans and string beans, he eats too little of meat, fish or chicken.

I raise her food up higher
and use a water fountain
Too late. I needed you earlier. I messed up and lost my paw-friend.
Cats in the wild get a lot of their liquids in their diet from the animals they kill. Lately I've been adding a little water to their wet food and a sprinkle of dry food that my cat seems to enjoy.
Kibble is bad for cats. Too little moisture.
My cats won’t eat cat food. I have to make it. They love it so much they won’t eat treats. They bury it.
All the kibbles and wet food i feed my cats contains chicken. Could one of them be allergic to chicken as she quite often vomits after she's eaten. She is 14 years old otherwise healthy and loves her food especially the wet food. I've been trying to work out why she vomits after her wet food especially.

Might be time for a trip to the vet? Especially at her age . . .

yay I do not do any of these things
what do you do ?

Don't do any of these . I feed my cats mostly homemade with a supplement or premix, served on Corelle salad plates. Happy Purrsday!

First you say, no veggies for cats, then you comment that their food should contain some? Can you clarify?
