Cats are carnivores, so meat is very important to them! They usually eat a mix of wet and dry food, but regardless, they need plenty of water to drink. Adult cats typically need two to three small portions per day, while kittens may need more frequent smaller portions.

Cats like to eat small, frequent meals, but they are very happy as long as they know there will always be food. Older cats need to pay attention to well-digested fats and proteins.
The most important thing is to ensure that your cat eats balanced nutrition, whether it is wet food or dry food.

change eating habits
If you want to change your cat's diet, you should do so gradually, mixing the new food with the old food and making a gradual transition. There are many different types of cat food you can try, and it’s important to choose the best quality food for your cat.
New cats can be stressful when they first arrive in the home. If they have mild stomach discomfort for the first few days, don't worry, but if it lasts three to four days, it's best to consult your veterinarian. Remember to watch your cat's stool for blood, which may be a warning that your cat is in poor health.

Cat obesity
Obesity is a big problem for cats, and we as owners are often the source of the problem. So pay attention to your cat’s diet and weight management, and don’t let them become overweight. Treats should only be given occasionally and used as a reward, but not too often. If your cat suddenly gains or loses weight, it's a good idea to consult your veterinarian, who may need to adjust his or her diet or treat other health problems.
All in all, your cat’s diet is important, making sure they get balanced nutrition, stay away from harmful foods, and pay attention to weight management.
