After receiving the food for your four-legged companion, it is time to slowly transition your cat’s diet.

Cats are creatures of habit and are known for their finicky behavior when it comes to their food. They can be quite picky about this matter, so the food transition should be approached very carefully.

What should you consider during the feeding transition?”

• New smell! At the beginning of your cat’s feeding transition, introduce the scent of the new food. For cats, it is important to sniff everything before they eat it. Allow your cat to sniff the new food first; she will surely be curious.
• During a change of food, a slow transition is important! Your cat should gradually get used to the new food. It takes between 7 and 10 days for her to fully adapt to the new diet.
• Associate the new food with something positive! Give your cat a small portion after playing each time.
• Step by step! Initially, mix only a small portion of the new food with the current food. Be patient, even if your cat doesn’t accept the food on the first or second day.
• Gradually increase the amount of the new food and reduce the proportion of the old food until your cat accepts and tolerates the new food.

With these few simple steps, a feeding transition should be carried out smoothly and gently so that your cat can comfortably adjust to the smell, taste, and consistency of the new food. The most important thing is to have a lot of patience and perseverance.

Don’t give up right away if your feline friend doesn’t like the taste of the chosen food. Cats are very independent when it comes to their food and often have very specific preferences.
