Katzenfutter Cats are commonly referred to as Mäkeler eater that only the best of the best to take. Unlike dogs, they would never be wrong to refuse or even the excrement of other animals eat. This has Zimperlichkeit purely physiological reasons. Unlike dogs cats have much higher demands on the proteins, they shoot - they need higher Highly digestible and, above all, more than a dog. And these high-quality proteins are found mainly in just lean meat and offal such as heart and liver. Feeds the cat of inferior food, it will sooner or later show deficiency symptoms and become ill (from the ground can be cats in no case with dog food to feed).

Now you can certainly every cat owner of the soup Kasper behavior of Samtpfoten sing a song. Yesterday tasted the dried yet and the next day it will no longer be touched. Or the tin, which is still thrilled hergefallen was disgusted is now ignored. What's happened? And how to get pussy again, with zuzulangen appetite?

First of all it is a general health check out. There are numerous disorders, the sly cat appetite, ranging from a harmless stomach upset to severe infectious diseases. Particular attention should be on teeth, tartar and gum inflammation, inflammation of the mouth and throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, injuries and possible foreign objects in your mouth, a v erschnupfte or stuffy nose, as well as vomiting and diarrhea set. Is everything in order and keep the appetite longer anyway, is a necessary input to the vet. Cats begin relatively quickly, not only fat but also muscle proteins and therefore reduce long without food from (hence not a zero diet for cats). The veterinarian can also use X-ray foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract notice may make an endoscopy and on the basis of a blood picture to determine whether the cat might have kidney insufficiency or suffering from diabetes - all possible causes for loss of appetite.

Another reason may be that the cat is no longer tolerate food. Perhaps it is "hard in the stomach, causing bloating or other complaints which we are not immediately noticeable. Similarly, when it can move to a new food places to such complaints, particularly when it is a food with other protein quality. Even something you should consider when changing and feed on other locations considered. I could about the digestion of my cats bad experience, as I do on a holistic premium feed had converted to contain probiotic cultures. The gentry ate it with enthusiasm, developed for a few days but to little stink bombs. Fortunately, they then used to feed and now have an excellent Veraduung.

Even if physically pussy everything is in order, something they may incriminate that their appetite verschlägt. Just to changes in the environment and the daily routine can be confused cats react. After a parade or even a change of owner, it may happen that pussy first few days are not so good eats. In that case you should first ensure that the cat is back safe and comfortable. Then comes the appetite back again alone.

But what if pussy definitely not sick, but is actually just rummäkelt?

This is basically just to say that cats are high demands on the quality of their food, but a hungry cat the first taste does not matter. While cats react unfavorably on Acid, sharp and bitter and sometimes even go so far as to when a mouse auszusortieren the bitter gall bladder, but everything is sold as cat food, clean taste is not likely to encounter rejection. A hungry cat in the wild will never spurn a mouse, just because you do not like the taste.

Unfortunately, it is the modern feed industry thanks to our animals with the help of flavor enhancers and fragrances on the lining of a certain brand will be shaped. Changing the recipe or you change the feed, the cat will ever be confused if the intense smell or taste, to which she was accustomed to date, has changed and the Narhungsaufnahme refuse. In nature it is also a perfectly sensible behavior, because if a well-to forage in a different smells or tastes can always out, an indication that, if it is spoiled. Did you feed the locations changed and I would also like the new variety will do in the course of a few days the cat step to the new feeding habit. If the manufacturer has, however, the recipe changed, remains an often nothing else than just wait. In no case should you into the trap and his cat to educate, that they end only with tidbits fed. The cats can in fact excellent!

Rather, the cat you should first put on a diet. There is no longer treats Chen outside normal meal. Nor, if they have so much begging! Served only to the usual meals. If the feed even after half an hour largely intact, it will be cleared away again. The diet should then be disposed of, however. At the next meal will repeat the game. Under certain circumstances you can to these meals - and only then! - Chen treats some add. It has also proved in cats, mainly dried get something Naßfutter under the boulder to dry mix. But after half an hour will be cleared.
