Everyone loves fat cats. You can hug, trample and knead in various ways, but it is unhealthy for cats to be overweight. Why are cats obese? Cat obesity, like human beings, is nothing more than two reasons, one is overnutrition and the other is lack of exercise. Overnutrition is easy to understand, generally because the food level of cats is too good, and the owner does not know how to control it when feeding canned food with good palatability and high calorie, resulting in excessive food intake and calorie intake. Cats, like people, will eat more, get fatter, get lazier and stay still, thus forming a vicious circle and becoming a big fat cat. Insufficient exercise, in addition to eating too much, old cats and sterilized cats will also get fat because they don't move much.

Of course, there are other reasons for cat obesity, such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hypothalamus damage and so on. This article does not discuss obesity caused by diseases. ? Diet and exercise are very important for cats to lose weight. Like people, it is best to make a weight loss plan for cats first and lose weight step by step. Take your time, don't worry. ? First of all, we should gradually reduce the total amount of food for cats. If the cat wants to eat canned food (or meat) mixed with cat food every meal, don't change the cat's eating taste first, and mix the canned food and cat food according to the original ratio, but the total amount should be relatively reduced, for example, by 5~ 10g each time until the total amount of rice is reduced to your ideal state. Gradually reducing food will give the cat's stomach an adaptation process, so that the cat will unconsciously reduce the amount of food.

When the total amount of food has reached a reasonable range, we can gradually reduce the content of canned food, gradually increase the amount of cat food, and gradually replace cat food with healthier diet cat food or cat food with less fat. Reduce the calorie intake of cats.

Changing food for cats will be a long process, but only in this way can we ensure that it will not harm the health of cats and lose weight healthily. While changing the food, you can change the cat's eating habits, eat less and eat more. The cat's food is not limited to open supply, and the freshness of the food cannot be guaranteed, which will greatly increase the cat's appetite.

Snacks should not be given at will, but should be turned into rewards. Give snacks only when the cat behaves well, and don't give snacks more than three times a week.

To lose weight, you must exercise. Parents can think of some ways to force cats to move, such as putting the cat food bowl high and buying toys that cats are interested in. Parents must take time out to play with cats, so that cats will be interested in sports. ? Of course, parents should also ensure that when the cat looks at you piteously and wants to eat, you must hold back! As long as the heart is soft, it will fall short! When the cat loses weight to a certain extent, it must continue to maintain it. Don't lose weight out of control It will bounce back, dear! ? Finally, I wish the cat mothers who love beauty success in losing weight, healthy and beautiful ~
