If you want to enhance your cat's resistance, you can first feed your cat some nutritious foods, such as cooked chicken, beef, fish and other foods. If dietary supplementation has little effect, you can consider feeding the cat health products to increase resistance, such as fish oil, trace element tablets, vitamin tablets, etc. Secondly, owners should also pay attention to the hygiene of the environment, clean the litter box in time, and increase the cat’s amount of exercise to improve the cat’s physical fitness. Finally, you should do a good job in health care, such as immunization, deworming, etc., and try to avoid contact with other cats.

1. Feed nutritious food

The cat’s resistance is closely related to the nutrients it usually consumes. If the cat’s daily diet is simple and nutritionally unbalanced, the body’s resistance will be reduced. It will naturally get worse. Therefore, the owner must ensure that the cat’s nutritional intake is balanced. Feed the cat food with higher protein. You can also properly feed the cat nutritional paste and cooked chicken, beef, fish and other meat foods, with appropriate amounts of vegetables and Fruit helps cats digest and can supplement vitamins.

2. Feed health products that increase immunity

If the cat’s physical condition is poor and dietary supplementation is not effective, the owner can consider feeding the cat to increase immunity. There are powerful health care products, such as fish oil, trace element tablets, vitamin tablets, etc. However, it is best to give trace element tablets and vitamin tablets to the cat when the cat shows a lack of them to avoid excessive amounts of vitamin poisoning in the cat.

3. Pay attention to hygiene and increase exercise

In addition to dietary supplements, owners should also pay attention to the hygiene of the environment, keep it clean and ventilated, and clean the cat litter box in time. Secondly, owners can also spend more time playing with their cats every day, and take their cats out to bask in the sun more often, so as to enhance the cat’s resistance through increased exercise. But you should also avoid letting your cat exercise too much. You need to control the time and intensity of your cat's exercise. Otherwise, too much exercise may consume too much energy and be detrimental to your cat's health.

4. Vaccination on time and regular deworming

Vaccination and deworming are processes that every cat must go through. Therefore, in the feeding and management of cats, owners need to provide them with them on time. Cats should be vaccinated and dewormed regularly to reduce the possibility of infectious diseases. Usually cats start deworming when they are 6 weeks old.The first shot of the vaccine can be given two months later. Internal deworming needs to be done once a month before 6 months of age, once every 3 months after 6 months of age, and external deworming is generally done once a month.
