How to correct a kitten that only eats meat and refuses cat food
When a kitten only eats meat and refuses cat food, the owner can consider switching to another cat food with a higher meat content to see if the kitten likes it. Secondly, the owner can also consider mixing the cat food and meat together and feeding it to the kitten, then gradually reducing the amount of meat and increasing the cat food until the kitten only eats cat food. However, this correction method is slower, so the owner needs to have enough patience. In addition, the owner can also appropriately increase the kitten's exercise routine during daily life. By increasing the kitten's physical activity, its digestion will be faster, and it will feel hungry, naturally reducing its picky eating habits.
- Switch to cat food with higher meat content
If the owner has been feeding the kitten the same cat food for a long time or the cat food's palatability is poor, the kitten may develop picky eating habits after eating meat. Therefore, the owner can try switching to a cat food with higher meat content. These cat foods usually have a higher protein content and a more delicious taste, which the kitten will prefer.
- Mix cat food and meat for feeding
In addition to switching to new cat food, the owner can also try to improve the palatability of the old cat food. Mix the kitten's favorite meat with the cat food and feed it regularly and quantitatively. Then gradually reduce the amount of meat and increase the amount of cat food. If the kitten doesn't finish eating immediately, the owner can take away the cat dish. Over time, the kitten will learn to eat quickly or else it will have to wait until it's hungry, reducing its picky eating habits.
- Increase exercise routine
In addition to the above measures, the owner can also appropriately increase the kitten's exercise routine during daily life. Play more physically demanding games with it to speed up its digestion.
