Congratulations on owning a cat. You’ve just added a new member to the family.

But there comes the feeding time and you are not sure what to feed your cat. Don’t worry we got you.

Here are 4 feeding tips for first-time cat owners like you:

Decide What Food To Feed
There are many types of cat food that you can choose from. There are dry ones, semi-moist and canned foods which are the common types for most feline parents.

Dry food is easier to store but is less tasty than semi-moist and canned ones.

Cats have different food preferences too and since you still have no idea what type of food your cat will love, you can have him try these types of foods to help you decide which ones you should buy and store more. Although you can store some of the other food types too just for variety.

Find A Good Brand
Now, that you have an idea of what type of cat food your pet is into. The next thing you need to do is find a good cat food brand. There are lots of good brands out there so it might be a little challenging to find the one that is perfect for your cat’s preference while also having all the healthy goodies you need for your cat to have.

If you know other feline parents, you can ask for their suggestions too or ask your veterinarian for some recommendations as well.

Follow the Suggested Feeding Guide
Like dogs, cats also have suggested feeding guides according to their breed, size, age, weight, and activity levels.

Make sure you know exactly what you’re cat’s breed, age, and get their size, weight and understand their activity levels, so you have an idea on what is the suggested feeding guide that you should follow.

Feed Them Right
The excitement of having a new house member and trying to make friends can often lead feline parents to overfeed their cats. Remember to only follow the suggested feeding guide for your cat to avoid overfeeding as overfeeding can lead to obesity and further serious illness.

Keep Them Hydrated
Make sure that your cats are well-hydrated and that they have fresh water to drink whenever they want to.

Keeping your cat hydrated and providing them with fresh water is very important, especially when their food is dry.

As first-time cat parents, you have to take extra efforts to make sure you are feeding your cat well and right. Do your research and most importantly, seek your veterinarian’s advice and recommendations.
