The fat cat often causes affection in owners and their guests – it is pleasant to iron, put it on knees and to sleep with him in an embrace. However excess weight at animals, as well as at people, can lead to various diseases. If you worry for health of the pet, help it to get rid of obesity.
Life expectancy of a cat is already small, and extra kilos are capable to reduce also those years that you can carry out with the pet. Excess weight leads to heart troubles, oncological diseases, type 2 diabetes. If you do not want to lose the favourite ahead of time, be engaged in his diet.
Campaign to the veterinarian
Obesity can be result of some diseases. Before putting a cat on a diet, see the veterinarian that that could estimate an animal condition. Also the expert can help to develop to you the optimum program for weight reduction of the pet that the diet brought benefit, but did not do much harm to his health.
Support of members of household
Having made the decision to put a cat into a diet, get support of all members of household. Will not be any I pound if you limit an animal diet, and compassionate relatives will try to put "starving" an excess piece. Explain how the excess weight and to what problems it can lead is harmful to a cat, tell than and in what quantities you are going to feed the fluffy favourite that all understood that you do not intend to starve him. You will achieve the objective, only if all family members act together.
Revision of a diet of a cat
The weight of a dog depends both on food, and on the number of physical activity which she receives. As for cats, their excess fat is for 90% result of the wrong feeding. You have two options: to reduce amount of food which you give to an animal, by 10-20% or to pass to a special dietary diet. You feed an animal two-three times a day. It is not required to Kot that in his bowl the forage constantly lay, it is necessary to watch only that your pet had an unlimited access to water. If you do not want to reduce a portion that many animals endure very painfully, try to pass to a dry dietary feed. It contains the increased amount of fibers and smaller amount of fat in comparison with standard sterns thanks to what the animal feels full longer. Those who feeds the pet with "naturalka" just should reduce amount of fat in a diet of a cat and to increase in it protein content.
Physical activities
It is very difficult to force a cat to carry out regular physical exercises, but it is necessary to move to your pet. If you have a desire, try to accustom an animal to a breast-band and you bring it to the street. For some cats the similar walks become the real adventure, they with pleasure examine vicinities and climb trees. It is better for owners, whose pet is afraid to leave borders of the apartment not to force an animal, and to try to play more with him houses. Give to a cat at least five minutes three times a day, forcing it to run behind a red dot of the laser or to catch a bow on a string. It will bring notable benefit.
