An obese cat is a cat that's suffering. This is not a laughing matter but rather serious. An overweight cat can be prone to all kinds of health problems, including fatall conditions related to the liver, heart, and kidneys. In addition to the health issues too many pounds inhibts the cat from being a cat, because she won't be able to move smoothly.
Remember, no cat choses to be fat!
Can your cat lose weight? Of course!
1. Measure the daily food intake and do not feed your cat more. Having food available at all times is not an option anymore!
2. Feed a very low carbohydrate diet (5-10, read the label!)
4. Stick to low calories treats, if you have to continue to give your cat treats.
5. Exercise - encourage your cat to play.
Do not put your cat on any drastic diet that makes her lose weight fast. This can be extremely dangerous and could cause liver failure! Allow your cat to lose weight slowly. If your cat is pregnant or nursing, postpone the diet until the kittens are weaned.
