1. Staple food: Cats in protein are pure carnivores. They need to eat 365,438+0% to 45% protein to meet their body function needs, and it takes about one palm to meet their growth and metabolism. Thin cats may have a small appetite or poor stomach absorption, so they can choose a combination of strains, which are rich in taste, balance the stomach and promote absorption. The crude protein content of cat food should be at least greater than 3 1%, and animal protein is better absorbed by cats. The top names in the ingredient list are meat.
Second, meat: chickens and sheep/beef naturally need to add a lot of meat if they want to make cats fat. Chicken, mutton and beef are all good choices. It needs to account for 25% of the daily food weight, which is less than half a palm. They are rich in protein, amino acids and other important nutrients, which can help cats gain weight and provide them with the energy they need. It is said that mutton is more popular with cats than beef. It can be cut into small pieces and combined with rice to form a rich main course. Tip: Cats don't need any seasoning, so these meats don't need extra seasoning.
Vegetables: carrots, pumpkins and tomatoes Although cats are carnivores, they still need some vegetables to stay healthy. We can add vegetables to the cat's diet as a fiber source to promote the peristalsis of the cat's intestine and better absorb it. Carrots, pumpkins and tomatoes are all good choices. It is suggested to add 10%- 15% to homemade cat rice, which is about 1/4 of cat bowl.
4. Others: fish oil, almonds, celery In order to make cats gain weight faster, we can add some extra ingredients, which need to account for 5% of the daily food weight. Just throw it away, fish oil one pill a day, almonds 1~2, celery and the like can be added a little. For example, fish oil can help improve their fur condition; Almonds can provide more fat, vitamins and minerals; Celery is rich in fiber, which can help digestion and promote intestinal health. These ingredients don't have to appear in the recipe, but they can be added according to preferences or gradually, and measured in a controlled amount.
Finally, to sum up: for thin cats that need to gain weight, we should choose high-protein cat food, add enough meat and a certain proportion of vegetables, and then add the rest condiments. However, every cat's physique is different, so we should pay attention to observation and match delicious food.
