![]() Most cats can get away with sharing a scrap or two on occasion, but bear in mind that human food is once again, often salted or flavoured, or will otherwise be unsuitable for your cat.īe careful too that you do not inadvertently feed your cat something that is toxic or otherwise unsuitable for them. ![]() While dogs will usually happily drink from most water sources, cats are much more particular! Feeding too many treatsĬats usually go mad for treats such as Dreamies and Whisker’s Temptations, and giving them treats can be a nice way to reward them and make them happy! But treats are usually artificially coloured, salted and flavoured, and not very good for your cat-as well as putting them off eating their proper, nutritionally complete meals! Giving your cat too many scrapsĬats will often make quite a fuss about sharing whatever it is that you are eating, particularly if it is something like fish or meat. It is important to wash the water bowl and replace the water in it at least once a day, and never let the bowl become totally empty, stagnant or stale. This means that keeping your cat’s water bowl right next to their food might put your cat off either eating or drinking, and prefer to have their needs met by other means! Not refreshing the water every day In the wild, cats will eat well away from their nearest source of water, in order to avoid polluting it with decaying waste from their finished meals. If you don’t clean your cat’s food bowls often enough, they might find this offends their sensibilities, and leads to a dislike of eating from them! Having food too close to the water Not cleaning the bowls enoughĭry food bowls may not get particularly dirty, but they should still be washed, dried and replenished regularly-and wet food bowls should be taken up, washed and replaced every day. ![]() This is the most natural way of feeding cats in a domestic environment, as cats like to eat little and often-so unless there is a good reason for having to allocate set mealtimes to your cat, try to allow them to eat as and when they want to. Read on to learn about ten common feeding mistakes made by cat owners, and how to avoid them! Restricting access to foodįirst of all, cats are generally happiest when they can free-feed, which means leaving food down and available to your cat all the time so that they can graze throughout the day when they want to. But if your cat is nervous, very finicky or highly strung, you might find that their mealtimes can be a challenge, for reasons that are not always obvious-and that we will look at in more detail within this article. If your cat does not act out or refuse food, your feeding times may be as simple as putting the food in their bowl and leaving them to get on with it. While cats are not as food-obsessed as dogs and can generally be trusted not to overeat, cats can also be finicky about their diet, what they like to eat, and how they like it to be presented-and if something is not to their liking, your cat may well go off their food entirely. ![]() Most popular puppies for sale All puppies for sale Akita for sale American Bulldog for sale American Bully for sale Beagle for sale Belgian Shepherd Dog for sale Bichon Frise for sale Border Collie for sale Border Terrier for sale Boxer for sale Cane Corso for sale Cavachon for sale Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for sale Cavapoo for sale Chihuahua for sale Chow Chow for sale Cockapoo for sale Cocker Spaniel for sale Dachshund for sale Dobermann for sale Dogue De Bordeaux for sale English Bull Terrier for sale English Bulldog for sale English Springer Spaniel for sale French Bulldog for sale German Shepherd for sale Golden Retriever for sale Goldendoodle for sale Hungarian Vizsla for sale Jack Russell for sale Jackapoo for sale Labradoodle for sale Labrador Retriever for sale Lurcher for sale Maltese for sale Maltipoo for sale Miniature Dachshund for sale Miniature Schnauzer for sale Old Tyme Bulldog for sale Patterdale Terrier for sale Pomeranian for sale Pug for sale Rottweiler for sale Shar Pei for sale Shih Tzu for sale Siberian Husky for sale Sprocker for sale Staffordshire Bull Terrier for sale Toy Poodle for sale Whippet for sale Yorkshire Terrier for sale
