Three tips for caring for your cat
A treat, whether industrial or cooked by you, remains a treat: giving it to your cat must remain exceptional and constitute a special moment in its diet.
Don’t give in to your cat’s demands when she asks for extra food outside of her daily meals.
Do not give your cat your table scraps as is. Pieces of meat or fish are fatty, dairy products are difficult to digest and sweets are too sweet: they risk unbalancing their diet, or even making them sick.
