1. When the eyes look down at the cat, the body lines of the standard cat should be smooth. If your cat's abdomen bulges to both sides, it is fat. ?
2, touch judgment, the owner can gently press the sides of the cat's body with his fingers. If you need to press down hard to touch the cat's ribs during the touch process, it may be that the cat is too fat. Under normal circumstances, the ribs of a standard cat are easy to touch!
When the cat is not fat, it can usually close its front legs when sitting down. But if the cat's front legs are not close, it may be too fat.
4. Another obvious feature of the fat cat is that its walking reaction will be slow, which can be clearly seen by comparing before and after or with other cats, and the fat cat will be unwilling to move.
Second, the diagnosis of cat obesity
1, when the weight of a cat exceeds 15%-30% of the ideal weight of the breed, and the weight of an average animal exceeds 15%-30% of the ideal weight of the breed, it is judged as overweight. When the cat is not pregnant or breastfeeding, the average weight of an adult cat is 2.5-5.5 kg, so the owner can measure it and make a judgment.
Third, how to treat cat obesity
1. If cats are simply obese, they need to reduce the calorie maintenance standard to 60% and reduce their diet. If it does not exceed this standard, you should feed low-calorie and high-protein food every day for 8- 10 weeks, but be careful not to supplement minerals and vitamins during this period. In addition, it is best for the slimming cat to stay indoors during the slimming treatment, and don't let it eat extra food by going to other places. Then the cat should follow the principle of eating less and eating more meals, and feed it several times a day. Usually, after 8- 10 weeks, the cat's weight can be reduced to a satisfactory level.
3. Because there are many reasons that lead to cat obesity, we need to find out the reasons in order to get a specific treatment plan. If necessary, it can also be used with diet reduction therapy.
What should I do:
1. First of all, the owner should strengthen the diet management of fat cats, appropriately reduce the feeding amount of cats, and quantitatively feed a few times. Do the "shut up" step in the weight control method first. High-fat foods must be carefully fed. For obese cats, you can choose low-fat and high-protein food to feed.
Another thing to note is that when using the method of regular quantitative feeding, you can't give it any other snacks except the planned food, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain. Don't be moved by their poor, pleading eyes. For their health, you have to eat hard snacks.
2, increase the exercise of fat cats, do a good job of keeping your mouth shut, then the next step is to take your legs. The master can't be lazy. Please take as much time as possible to take your cat out for exercise, play with it more and make it move more. You can't let it lie down all the time. Go out and burn more calories to make fat burn, otherwise how can you lose weight?
3. Add some bile acids to cat food in daily life. Bile acid is a digestive juice, which can promote the digestion and absorption of its fat. It can help it convert excess fat in the body into intramuscular fat and subcutaneous fat, thus preventing fatty liver and effectively improving the health of cats.
