Obesity in cats is an increasingly common problem. If your furry is gaining weight and you want the situation to change, it's time to do some exercise. Yes, yes, your pussy should start to move.
But we are not only going to talk about exercise in this article. There are many things we can do to help you regain your ideal weight. Read on to know how to make a cat lose weight.
First of all, it is important to know if you are really obese. This is something that will be easy for us to see, since obese cats the ribs are not visible nor the waist is marked. In addition, they spend the day resting, and hardly do anything else. Even so, if you have doubts, the best thing to do is take him to the vet so that he can tell you if he is obese or not, and how many kilos he should lose.
If you are finally plump, then it will be time to make some changes.
Give your cat the amount of daily food he needs
This means that you have to look in the feed bag how many grams correspond to your age and weight (be careful, not the one you have now, but the one you should have), and go giving it throughout the day in 4-5 doses soaked in water. It may seem cruel, but we must think that, if we continue to give him all the food he wants, we can put his health and his life in danger.
Likewise, It is also not recommended to give cat treats or scraps of our food.
Extends gaming sessions
The cat must play daily to keep fit, therefore, it is important to make him run, jump, in short, force him to move. Thus, take advantage of the moments that he is awake to spend very fun moments with him. In the market you will find many toys with which your friend will have a great time, but you can also make your own with a cardboard box, or with a stick and string.
Thus, little by little, your cat will return to its weight, and its health will no longer be in danger 🙂.
