What s the matter with cats licking wood and iron all the time? Please, thank you

Generally, this situation is a lack of trace elements, and pet owners should properly supplement their dogs with trace elements.

1: Choose good cat food to feed.

Many pet owners raise cats are fed with cat food as the staple food of cats, since cat food is the staple food of cats, then pet owners naturally want to choose a better quality cat food to feed cats. There are a lot of cat foods on the market now, and many businesses say that the trace elements in cat food are enough when promoting their cat food, but this is not the case. It is recommended that pet owners compare a variety of cat foods and then choose a better quality cat food to feed their cats.

2: Enrich the cat's diet.

When the cat lacks trace elements, if the pet owner just feeds the cat with cat food, it is naturally not enough, so the pet owner should also start with the cat's diet. The owner can usually make some nutritious meals for the cat, such as cooking some fish soup, cooked egg yolk mixed with minced meat, chicken breast mixed with vegetable puree, etc. If the owner does not have time to make a nutritious meal for the cat, he can directly buy some canned cat food, nutritional paste and the like to feed the cat.

3: Feed your pet nutritional supplements.

Although food supplements can also supplement cats with trace elements in the body, the effect of dietary supplements is relatively slow, because some cats do not like to eat the nutritious meals cooked by the owner, or the nutrients in some foods, after high temperature cooking, the nutrients will be slowly lost, and the nutrients that cats can absorb are relatively small. It is recommended that pet owners feed their cats some pet nutritional supplements.

When cats suffer from pica, some cats may eat poop, eat soil, and lick the wall, it is recommended that pet owners should pay more attention to the cat's every move and do not let the cat eat indiscriminately.

Timber may be trying to grind his teeth, Tim Iron may be a cat with a lack of body iron.

It can be seen that the cat's health is problematic, and this behavior is often called pica, which is caused by the cat's lack of trace elements. Pet owners should be fully aware before taking steps to help them.

1. Why do cats lack trace elements?

In the long years when pet owners keep cats, many times they rely on cat food to provide food and clothing for cats, and rarely give cats additional nutrition. Then, the nutrients in cat food are relatively few, especially in terms of trace elements (even if some businesses advertise that their products contain trace elements, in fact, it is not necessarily), which will cause cats to lack trace elements.

2. Symptoms of lack of trace elements.

When the cat is seriously deficient in trace elements, pet owners will not only see it licking the wall, but also may see that the cat has other foreign body problems, such as: eating poop, plastic bags, cat litter, soil, hair, etc., some more serious, it will also cause the cat's nose to be white (a healthy cat nose should be pink or black), serious hair loss.

3. How to reasonably supplement trace elements.

If pet owners find that their cats have pica, they should supplement it with trace elements in time, and they can feed cats special trace elements, such as: mine Weiqu, according to the age and weight of the cat. Here, by the way, pet owners are reminded not to feed cats random human trace elements, or trace elements common to cats and dogs, after all, cats have high requirements for trace elements, and they should also pay attention to whether they are appropriate.

Cats will eat whatever they feel they are lacking.

The cat is a very hygienic animal, licking their hands and feet is to keep clean, the cat will choose a place with sand to urinate, and will use its paws to cover it after going to it, if it does not love hygiene, then it is not a good cat.

Thank you for the trouble to adopt!

Maybe you have a fishy smell on your face.

Is it that the cat will also go up and down when stepping on the quilt, and it will make a whirring sound In fact, it is looking for milk This performance is a good thing It shows that he trusts the owner very much The owner gives him a sense of security Only in this way will the cat return to find milk.

That's grinding your teeth, you can find a stuffed animal for it, give it to it, it's better not to let it bite you all the time, if you accidentally scratch it, it's bacteria.

Cat's teeth are small, and even if he bites hard, it won't hurt.

Cats are like this, nothing is abnormal.

It's okay for cats to eat food that people have chewed, especially kittens, people's saliva has digestive mold that kittens don't have, which can help kittens digest indigestible meat, but ham sausages and other foods with high salt content are not recommended for cats to eat, cats and dogs are animals without sweat glands, their salt can not be excreted through sweat like people, if you eat too much salt, it will cause cats to lose hair, and serious salt poisoning will die! So you must pay attention, plus ham sausages These things are added with preservatives, and it is not good for cats, it is recommended to give cats and cats things that do not add oil and salt.

Not good. Is it OK for you to eat cat chew food?

I think it's an instinct to hide something, or to cover up something, and that's the same with dogs.
