ocicat rearing
Liver: Some cats love liver and refuse to eat other foods. Animal livers contain large amounts of vitamin A, but taking too much vitamin A can lead to muscle stiffness, neck pain, deformed bones and joints, and liver disease.
High-fat foods: If a cat’s diet contains a lot of fatty fish or stale fatty meat, it can lead to insufficient vitamin E intake, which in turn can cause the cat’s body fat to become inflamed and extremely painful.
Raw fish: Some raw fish contain enzymes that can destroy vitamin B1, and the lack of vitamin B1 can lead to neurological diseases in cats, which can be fatal in severe cases. This enzyme can be destroyed by heating, so be sure to cook the fish after cooking. Feed the cat again.
Meat: Although a cat’s diet should be dominated by meat, feeding cats only meat can lead to uneven intake of minerals and vitamins, which can lead to severe bone metabolic disorders.
Dog food: The nutrients in dog food and cat food are not the same, and the nutrients in dog food cannot meet the needs of cats. Although cats and dogs are carnivores, dogs have less nutritional needs than cats.
Cod liver oil: Special care should be taken when supplementing cats with additional vitamins and minerals, as excessive consumption of cod liver oil can lead to excessive intake of vitamin A and vitamin D, which can lead to bone disease.
