Some cats may have periods where they do not eat as much so it's important to keep a keen eye on the level of food in their bowl. Your cat may be acting normal, even though its appetite isn't quite right. This could be due to them growing bored of their food (picky eaters), dental issues, or stress.

Dry food is generally less expensive than wet food and has a longer shelf life. It's also lower in calories and fat, which can benefit overweight cats or those with diabetes. However, dry food is often lacking in protein and moisture compared to wet food, which can make it less satisfying for some cats.幼貓糧推薦
To soften the food for kittens, start with the right amount of dry food in a bowl. Add enough water to fill 1/4th of the bowl, but make sure that all of the food gets wet. Let it sit for a few minutes to soak it in. If needed add more water and stir.
You can choose your own dry-to-wet food ratio, but we recommend a minimum of 1/3 wet food and 2/3 dry food. Wet and dry food have different calories per gram, so you can't just interchange them.
First: dry food contains only between five to ten percent moisture, whereas a cat's natural prey would contain 75 percent moisture. Eating a dry food-only diet could lead to dehydration and potentially urinary tract diseases, including fatal urethral obstructions.
Yes, cats can eat eggs. Fully cooked eggs are a great nutritional treat for cats. Eggs are packed with nutrients, like amino acids, which are the building blocks to protein, and they're also highly digestible. Scrambled, boiled, however you choose to prepare them is fine.幼犬狗糧推薦
