It’s no secret that cats are quirky creatures. They always keep us guessing, from their obsession with boxes to their strange sleeping habits. And when it comes to feeding them, many of us are still doing it wrong. In this blog post, we’ll teach you how to ditch the cat food bowls and change your cat’s feeding schedule for the better!
Like most cat owners, you probably have a couple of food bowls sitting out for your feline friend. But did you know that this could be causing them stress? Cats are natural hunters; their instinct is to stalk and chase their prey. Seeing a bowl of food just sitting there can trigger this instinct and make them feel anxious.
Instead of bowls, try using puzzle feeders or food toys that dispense treats as your cat plays. This will allow them to use their natural hunting skills and help reduce their stress levels. And when it comes to scheduling meals, don’t just leave food out all day long. Cats are creatures of habit and do best when they have a regular feeding schedule. So, try to feed them at the same time each day and see how much happier and healthier they become!
Cats need small, frequent portion-controlled meals each day, and they need to interact with their prey. It is normal cat behavior to take one to three bites, equaling about 30 calories, and walk away. It is a misconception that this is being finicky. Some cats can overindulge when we fill a bowl with highly palatable food.
We hope this blog post has helped you learn how to feed your cat correctly. Remember, ditch the bowls and change the schedule for a happier, healthier cat!
