(A) the characteristics of cat food

1. Cat food is economical, comprehensive and convenient. Cat food can be roughly divided into three types: dry, canned and semi-cooked. Dry food is a comprehensive food with essential nutrition. There are many kinds of prices, and natural grains are relatively better and easier to preserve. So, if possible, try to give priority to this kind of food.

2. Canned food made of high-grade raw materials such as shrimp and fish has a wide variety, easy selection and delicious taste, so it is more popular with cats than dry food. Some canned foods can be used as staple foods, and some canned foods, such as most daily canned foods, belong to the category of canned snacks, which may cause nutritional imbalance as staple foods. Canned food should not be mixed with dry food, which is harmful to teeth and should be eaten separately.

Semi-cooked food is between food and canned food, which is suitable for old cats.

4. Taurine will be added to some high-quality cat food. Taurine is an amino acid, which cannot be synthesized in cats and can only be obtained by catching mice. A cat as a companion pet is not qualified to catch mice. Cat's lack of this amino acid will affect night vision, so use good quality cat food.
