With the rapid development of society, people's way of getting along with pets is also constantly upgrading. As a pet, cats have gradually entered thousands of households. Cats are relatively independent animals, and cats generally have strong self-protection ability.

Since cats have intimate relationships with humans, we must also take responsibility and do our best to make the cat live a healthy and happy life. What should I do if my cats are getting thinner if they don’t eat cat food? The first step is to check the food. Is the cat food eaten by cats expired? Has it deteriorated? The food has poor quality and poor taste, which is one of the reasons why cats do not eat cat food. If the cat food expires or deteriorates, it will cause damage to the cat's gastrointestinal system, which may cause digestive problems and even cause excessive toxin content in the cat. In severe cases, it may also cause poisoning symptoms. Therefore, first of all, we need to check the freshness and quality of cat food. The second step is to try changing the taste. The cat's taste is very picky. If the owner provides the same flavor in the cat's food bowl, then even if the cat likes the taste, it will get tired of it. Just like a human being, isn’t it a bit tired of eating braised pork for a month? Therefore, the owner can try changing the taste. For foods, there are usually multiple formulas and flavors. As long as the brand has good reputation, strictly implements quality inspections, and has a moderate taste, the owner can try to guide the cat to try cat food of different flavors. The third step is whether there is any mistake in feeding. Cats have limited eating habits and will not learn to eat various forms of food like humans. Therefore, the cat's diet should be fixed, and the owner should pay special attention to the quantity of each meal. Always feeding the cat and let it catch it. This feeding method is inappropriate. This method prevents cats from eating enough food, and even dumps the food, causing the cat to go hungry and halal. Therefore, the owner should try to make a fixed feeding time, regularly and regularly dosage every day, so that the cat can eat healthy easily. Step 4: Find other reasons. If none of the above situations are problematic, then you need to consider other reasons. For example, cats may feel lonely or uneasy, or have potential health problems, and may be affected by the environment. If these reasons are caused, it is very necessary for the owner to accompany the cat, correctly guide the cat's appetite, and give the cat spiritual satisfaction and comfort.

In short, cats are getting thinner and thinner without eating cat food, and if they are not careful for a long time, it will affect the health of cats. Therefore, the owner needs to find the source of the problem in a timely manner and take corresponding countermeasures. If there is a problem, you need to go to the pet hospital for help as soon as possible to get better diagnosis and treatment and high-quality medical services. Let cats become good partners of human beings in a healthy environment and start a better life together.
