5 reasons why a kitten needs pasta

What are cat pastes?

Malt paste is really prescribed for cats to remove hair. But this is only one of several types of pastes. In addition to it, there are pastes for the prevention and treatment of KSD, pastes for sensitive digestion, pastes for dealing with stress, special lines for older animals and kittens, as well as universal vitamin pastes for every day.

Depending on the purpose, pastes help solve health problems, saturate the body with useful elements, make up for the lack of fluid in the cat’s diet, and are simply used as a treat. For example, they help out a lot when a cat eats dry food and drinks little water. Pasta is like a liquid treat. You treat your pet with something especially tasty and at the same time restore its water balance.

Pastes are delicious and cats love to eat them themselves. Pasta can even be used as a “seasoning”. If the cat is bored with his usual food, you can add paste to it. It’s kind of like spaghetti sauce. 

Why does your kitten need paste? 5 reasons

For kittens up to 5-8 months, the issue of molting is irrelevant. Instead of wool, they have soft baby fluff, which practically does not fall out. However, your veterinarian, groomer, or pet store consultant may recommend a special kitten paste. What is it for?

Good paste for kittens:

• Supports the musculoskeletal system

In the first six months of life, kittens grow incredibly fast. Just yesterday, the baby was placed in your palm, and after a few months – he is almost an adult cat! Its skeleton is growing rapidly and needs an optimal balance of calcium and phosphorus to form properly. Pasta helps support it.

• Strengthens immunity

By one and a half to two months, passive immunity (acquired from the mother) ceases to work in kittens and their own is developed. The baby daily encounters a huge number of dangerous infections, and his immune system resists them like armor. The paste contains a complex of vitamins, trace elements and minerals that help strengthen the body’s defenses.

• Makes coat healthy and shiny

The composition of the paste may include flaxseed oil and fish oil – rich sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They are responsible for the condition of the skin and coat of your ward.

• Prevents heart problems

Cardiovascular disease is often associated with a lack of taurine in the body. Foods and treats with taurine help support cardiovascular health.

• Prevents lack of arachidonic acid

Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid essential for cats. The human body can independently synthesize it from linoleic acid, but the cat receives it only from food.

Arachidonic acid is responsible for the development of muscle tissue during the period of active growth of the kitten and for many other processes occurring in the body. Pastes, which include sources of arachidonic acid (for example, egg yolk), can prevent its shortage.

And pasta is just a bright and easily digestible treat for a kitten. Which will once again demonstrate to him your care and love. It can’t be much.

Try, experiment and do not forget that good treats should combine both taste and benefit!
