Of course a cat will be hungry after fasting for 12 hours, because the cat’s gastric emptying time is about 4 hours. After fasting for 12 hours, the cat’s stomach has been emptied and he will feel very hungry. If the cat's gastrointestinal disease is not very serious, parents do not need to fast. We can feed some probiotics to regulate it.

Cats are relatively small, so it is best not to fast for too long. If you find that fasting has no effect on the cat, it is best for parents to send the cat to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible.

Precautions for cats after fasting

1. Do not feed the cat nutritious canned cat food, freeze-dried cat food, etc. immediately after the cat has fasted for a day. Cat strips and other foods should be fed light and easy-to-digest foods first, such as white porridge.

2. If oral glucose is available, cats can also be fed glucose, because glucose is a monosaccharide and can be directly absorbed by the epithelial cells of the small intestine, which puts less burden on the gastrointestinal tract and can supplement energy.

3. Do not feed meat to cats immediately to avoid diarrhea and diarrhea due to gastrointestinal discomfort.
