A continuous on-line computerized monitoring system was used to measure food and water intake patterns of mature cats during consecutive low-fat (3 week) or high-fat (3 week) feeding. Cats consumed less of the high-fat than the low-fat diet such that their mean daily gross energy intake was the same for both diets. It was concluded that cats regulate their daily food intake on the basis of energy density. High-fat substitution caused a reduction in the quantity of food consumed in the dark cycle. There was no apparent change in either the light- or dark-cycle meal frequency, both the light- and dark-cycle average meal size were curtailed. Water intake did not vary significantly between low- and high-fat diets. There was no significant difference in number of drinking bouts or average bout volume for the low- and high-fat diets in both the light and dark cycles. Two diet-choice trials produced no clear preference for the low- or high-fat diet. It appears that the fat content, independent of flavor components or physical consistency, has little effect on dietary preference of the cat.
一个连续在线计算机化监测系统用于测量成年猫在连续低脂（3周）或高脂（3周）喂养期间的食物和水摄入模式。与低脂饮食相比，猫摄入的高脂食物较少，以至于两种饮食的平均每日总能量摄入量相同。得出的结论是，猫根据能量密度调节其每日食物摄入量。高脂替代导致黑暗周期中食物摄入量减少。明周期或暗周期的进餐频率没有明显变化，明周期和暗周期的平均餐量都减少了。低脂和高脂饮食之间的水摄入量没有显著差异。在明周期和暗周期，低脂和高脂饮食的饮水次数或平均每次饮用量均无显著差异。两项饮食选择试验没有产生对低脂或高脂饮食的明确偏好。似乎脂肪含量独立于风味成分或物理稠度，对猫的饮食偏好影响很小。
