Obesity in humans can lead to a variety of diseases that affect health, and so do cats. When there is more subcutaneous fat in cats, the resistance will decrease, and it is easy to get some skin diseases or diseases of the heart, liver, kidney and other organs, and it may even lead to organ failure in severe cases. Unhealthy eating habits can cause cats to become overweight. In order to ensure the cat's health, the owner should pay attention to proper weight loss for the cat.

[The correct way to lose weight for cats]

1. Diet

(1) Put the cat Reduce your daily meals by 1/4. Fat cats have enlarged stomachs, so be sure to plan a diet. A normal adult cat's daily ration is 50 grams of cat food. Do not exceed this limit. If you're used to leaving cat food there for them to eat, and you don't usually exercise, it's best to change to two or three meals a day. The amount of meat should also be controlled.

(2) Distribute the cat's daily rations into several cat food bowls and place them in various places in the house, forcing the cat to walk more to get a full stomach.

(3) Put the bowl that the cat eats on the table or on the small cabinet (the kind that is about the same height as the table), forcing the cat to have to jump to eat.

(4) If possible, you can feed diet cat food. Diet cat food contains more fiber and less fat, which means that the cat eats fewer calories. When changing cat food for cats, first remove 1/3 of the old cat food, replace it with new cat food, and mix the new cat food into the old cat food. After a week, add 1/3 new cat food, reduce 1/3 old cat food, and gradually replace all cat food with new cat food.

(5) High-quality canned food is higher in calories than ordinary canned food. Therefore, if you are going to switch from ordinary canned food to high-quality canned food, you need to reduce the feeding amount of canned food appropriately.

2. Exercise

.Let the cat do physical exercise. Chase it every day to run non-stop, and ask it to climb the window sill. In order to encourage cats to keep exercising, you can put some food on a high stool and let it climb up to eat.

3. Weighing regularly

Insist on weighing the cat every week, and formulate a suitable weight loss plan for the next step. You should also pay attention to ensuring the health of your cat's diet and sleep. You can't ignore your cat's health and growth just to lose weight.
