    Cats with potassium deficiency may experience physical impairment or collapse to the ground.

    The physiological function of potassium ions is first and foremost to regulate the osmotic pressure of the body and cells. This actually maintains the role of metabolism in the cat's body. When cats are severely deficient in potassium, this balance will be broken, and their osmotic pressure will change, so the cells will not be able to adapt to changes in the environment, resulting in cell dehydration, and if the cat loses too much water, it can even lead to death.

    You can choose some pet-specific potassium supplements for cats, but the amount must be appropriate. For some trace elements, too much or too little will not work.
