About 1 out of 3 cats is overweight or obese. As mentioned in other articles before, the main problem, just as it is in human, there is a big chance the cat will have high blood pressure and will be diabetic.

Food – If you are concern about your feline weight the first thing you should do is consulting you vet to see if any under-lying health problem are contributing to the weight problem.

Next- you need to check what is in the food you feed your pet with. Cats  are carnivore

that’s why they need to have  protein in their food rather then Carbo. Protein is a very critical part of your cat’s dietat and it should be from animal sources. Protein provides energy for cats and is essential for growth and development.

Some say that canned food is better and helps cat loose weight. It has less carbo and it has more water in it.

In any case, owners need to control the amount of food their cat eat.

Be sure your cat gets water, energy, protein, essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins.  Cats do not have a dietary requirement for carbohydrates.  The metabolic requirement for glucose in the cat is derived from protein (amino acids) and fat (glycerol).  Cats are adapted to a protein- fat-rich, carbohydrate-poor diet.

Active – cats need to be more active. It would help them loos weight. Today you find interactive toys you can play with your cat, you’ll enjoy the play time and your cat won’t be bored quickly. Cats like human have different character and taste, so you’ll have to find out what type of games appeal to its hunter-prey instinct.  Another good idea is the cat gyms, (car tree), where they can climb and jump and you can tie some of his toys so he’ll have to jump or climb to get them.
