Cat Food For Sensitive Stomach

When it comes to feeding cats, we need to be very careful in choosing food for these feline friends. Because their digestive systems are very selective in digesting foods. Therefore, they can’t survive on random diets. We must consult with our VET to choose the right food for our cat. Some cats have very sensitive stomachs and may face serious health issues if they are not fed healthy foods.

How to know if my cat has a sensitive stomach?

Following are the signs and symptoms of sensitive stomachs in cats. If your cat expresses any of these, do call your VET.

• Flatulence

• Loose stools

• Lethargic body movements

• Loss of appetite

• Vomiting

• Skin and respiratory allergies

If the food has an excess of fat or is deficient in fibers, it may aggravate stomach problems.

For a period, feeding your cat a single-protein meal can help you figure out which proteins your cat can (and cannot) tolerate.

During this period, be sure to communicate properly with your veterinarian.

Why do cats develop the sensitivity of the stomach?

Foods that have an excess of fats and are deficient in fiber ultimately lead to digestive problems. The fiber portion promotes gut motility. Therefore, it is important to add fibers to the cat diet. cats are not very good at digesting extra fats. Partial digestion of fatty acids in fats causes gastric problems.

Cats even on the appropriate meals may develop sensitivity in the stomach. Letting them fill their tummies by giving them a big bowl of food at once may disturb their digestive system.

The best way to feed cats is to give them food in many small portions instead of a whole meal in bulk. It helps them digest smoothly and decreases the likelihood of vomiting and nausea.

It is important to note that every stomach sensitivity is not related to food. There might be many problems other than eating habits contributing to the sensitivity of the stomach. Like a parasitic infection, genetically absent enzymes of digestion, cold or heat stress also contribute much to tummy problems.
