Scientific Feeding
Cats are very cute pets and proper scientific feeding can ensure their health and well-being. The following is an introduction to the scientific feeding of cats:

Cats have low resistance during the early years (0-2 months), try not to let young cats leave their mothers, and should be fed mainly with breast milk + goat milk powder during this period.
Please do not feed cats milk, most cats are lactose intolerant.

There are many specially formulated cat snacks, these snacks will make the cat happy but are not nutritious enough, do not feed too much.
Do not feed cats human food because their intestines cannot digest all human food and this may also lead to obesity, digestive problems, and other health problems.
2. Drink water

If your cat does not like water, consider changing to a different style of water fountain or adding water when consuming canned food.
3. Amount and frequency of food
Food for cats should be divided into multiple feedings and only the right amount of food should be fed each time.
