What food do stray cats eat besides cat food?

Food eaten by stray cats:

1. Staple food: Cats’ staple food is best based on cat food. Do not feed too many staple foods containing carbohydrates.

2. Fish: Fish contains a large amount of protein, as well as a variety of fatty acids and amino acids, which are very good for cat hair, and the taurine in fish promotes the photoreceptor cells in the cat's retina.

3. Beef: Beef is rich in protein, trace elements, amino acids, and low in fat, which helps cats grow meat.

4. Chicken breast: Chicken breast is the part of the chicken that has a relatively low fat content and is easy to handle. Chicken breast is a typical high-protein, low-fat food and rich in vitamins.

5. Cooked egg yolk: Cooked egg yolk is rich in lecithin. Lecithin has the effect of beautifying and skin-beautifying the cat's hair. It is very good for the health of the cat's hair and is rich in nutrients.

6. Fruits: You can feed cats a small amount of fruits, such as apples, watermelons, cantaloupes, pineapples, papayas, strawberries, bananas, cantaloupe, etc.

7. Unsalted cheese and yogurt: Cheese and yogurt are rich in protein, calcium and various vitamins, which can promote the development of cats. Yogurt can also improve cats’ digestive system problems.

8. Rice and noodles: Rice and noodles are the most common staple foods for humans. It is not easy for cats to digest rice and noodles, but eating some occasionally can speed up gastrointestinal motility.
