Is It Good to Feed Your Cat Shirmp?

Many cat owners feed the cats shrimp. They think shrimp tastes strong, the meat is delicate, and the nutrition is high., so cats will like to eat it. Pet owners think that as long as no seasoning is put, the boiled shrimp can be eaten for cats.

Is that true?

In reality, the number of cases of acute renal failure caused by eating shrimp ranked third, only second to drug renal failure and urinary failure. In fact, it is not just shrimp. Long term or sudden large consumption of various seafood will lead to acute renal failure in cats. Most seafood contains a lot of phosphorus and high protein. When the intake exceeds the limit of the cat’s body, the kidney will be overwhelmed and damaged.
Many pet owners will ask how much they eat will lead to kidney failure, and how long they eat will cause kidney damage. Because each cat’s constitution and kidney health are different, it is likely that other cats will be fine after a few days of eating, and your cat will need to be sent to the hospital after a meal.

The cat with kidney failure three years ago had the biggest impact. It was sent to the hospital the next day after eating a prawn meal. It was only after several days of dialysis and drip that it saved its life.

To sum up, don’t use people’s eating experience to feed pet, or you may lose more than you gain.
