Many people think that the chubby blue cat has a docile personality and is extremely cute, so they can’t wait to become the new shit collector. However, British Shorthair blue cats have many unique physical and mental characteristics and are prone to encounter some problems unique to blue cats. They cannot be raised casually and fed casually.

1. Blue cats are mostly “fat homes”

When talking about blue cats, most people can think of a round head and a plump body, lying leisurely on the sofa waiting for the man to lick it. However, this "cute" image also hides concerns: blue cats are very prone to obesity.

Everyone knows that blue cats "eat a lot". As long as there are no digestive issues, they can pretty much keep eating. Moreover, in order to make their blue cats "gills" as soon as possible, some cat owners are even more deliberate. They not only feed high-fat food as a matter of course, but also artificially induce the blue cats to eat more and more.

On the other hand, blue cats have a gentle personality and are less active than other breeds. Rather than running back and forth, what they prefer to do is to climb to a higher place as much as possible, stare down at you quietly with their big round eyes. Some blue cats are not even willing to make noises and lose their temper, let alone the "delusion" of "walking the cat".

Precisely because these blue cats consume a large amount of energy but do not consume enough exercise, it is inevitable to "get fat".

2. Excessive obesity is dangerous

Just like people, cats will also face the threat of many diseases if they are too obese.

The most serious complication of obesity is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Just like people, obesity can cause "three highs" in cats, leading to abnormal hypertrophy of the cat's left ventricle and insufficient blood supply. This disease can cause congestion in the lungs and make it difficult for the cat to breathe; in severe cases, it can cause blood clots in the heart and blood vessels, leading to the cat's sudden death.

[AW2] In addition to fatal diseases, an overly heavy body will directly put a huge burden on bones and joints. Since it takes three to five years for a blue cat to fully mature, a blue cat that becomes fat early has to use its immature bones to bear the excessive weight. Over time, their bones and joints are very prone to lesions. This will cause the cat to be in unbearable pain and unable to move, seriously affecting the cat's quality of life.

Therefore, for owners, the problem of cat obesity must not be ignored.

3. Special cat food to help

So how do we get from &How to deal with the problems caused by the physical and mental characteristics of blue cats from the perspective of "eating"? Obviously, according to the characteristics of blue cats, prescribing the right medicine is the key. For example, Royal British Shorthair adult cat food attracts our attention, and my family The masters have been having a good time eating until now.

In view of the tendency of blue cats to gain weight easily, this cat food is specially added with a substance that can promote the conversion of fat into energy - L-carnitine. This substance can transport the excess fat stored by the cat to the mitochondria of the cells for burning. After all the fat is consumed, the weight will naturally return to normal.

At the same time, in view of the health risks caused by excessive obesity to cats, Royal British Shorthair adult cat food also adds taurine and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). The former is an essential amino acid abundant in mammals, which can protect heart muscle cells and reduce the chance of heart disease; the latter is a healthy unsaturated fatty acid, which has anti-inflammatory and swelling and pain relief effects, and helps cats’ bones. and joint health.

In addition, this cat food also takes into account the wide mandibles of blue cats, and specially designed "semi-curved" particles to facilitate blue cats to eat and encourage chewing, so that blue cats not only grow healthy, but also eat happily.

In short, if you want to raise a blue cat well, you must first "understand" blue cats. I wonder if you have the answer in your mind, what kind of cat food is good for blue cats?
