Why are cats so picky about their food?

Cats are inherently habitual animals which appreciate a certain routine and stability in various areas of life, including their diet. Unlike humans, who often prefer culinary diversity, cats can be satisfied with constant feeding – provided that it covers all the required nutrients.

So when a cat is picky and doesn't pay any attention to a new food, it's often not so much because of the taste itself, as because of the food impression it experienced as a kitten. As kittens, they learn what is acceptable as food from their mother. Consequently, anything that was not offered as feed by the mother is not perceived as such in later life. For example, if the cat is used to dry food and suddenly gets wet food, it may react in an irritated manner and not know how to handle it.

It is therefore appropriate to offer kittens different types of feed from the outset in order to promote a wider acceptance of different types of food.

For adult cats, it is usually advisable to remain with the usual feed type as long as it is a complete feed. However, should a change be necessary or desired, a lot of patience is required to overcome the existing food imprint. Despite all efforts, however, there are cases in which a feed conversion is not feasible.

Terra Felis Omega 3 - salmon oil

Omega-3 – The natural power of salmon oil for an optimal supply of omega-3 fatty acids. This special oil from the sea is rich in the vital essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, which fulfil many important functions in the organism, support the immune system and can be anti-inflammatory. This property plays a role especially with chronic inflammatory diseases, which is why omega-3 fatty acids are used to help with skin problems, kidney diseases as well as chronic inflammatory bowel diseases such as IBD, but also with joint complaints, heart diseases and tumour diseases. The fine oil can also boast another bonus: thanks to its particularly fine aroma, it can offer dogs with a poor appetite a special incentive to eat and significantly improve food acceptance.
