1, high protein. Cats are carnivores and need a lot of animal protein. Compared with fats and carbohydrates, cats are better at converting protein into energy. Because the diet of slimming cats has fewer calories than the regular diet, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough protein in the diet to prevent cats from reducing body fat rate and muscle mass. In addition, among the three nutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrate), protein keeps full for the longest time. This helps to limit calorie intake. Based on the above reasons, the protein content of slimming cat rice should be at least 35%.

2. High fiber and moisture content. The fiber and water content of slimming cat rice is higher, because these two ingredients help cats keep full and prevent hunger for a short time after meals. So wet food is more suitable for slimming cat rice than dry food.

3. L-carnitine. Several studies have confirmed the role of amino acid carnitine in weight loss. This amino acid is ubiquitous in muscle, which can accelerate the process of transforming fat into energy and can be effectively metabolized by the body. Therefore, adding a proper amount of L-carnitine to cat rice has a positive effect on promoting cat metabolism.

4. Low carbon water and fat content. The diet of wild cats in nature only contains about 4% carbohydrates, so cats don't need carbohydrates. The carbohydrate content in diet cat rice should not be higher than the cat's natural diet. Although experiments have proved that a high-fat diet will not have a negative impact on the health of cats, high fat will still make cats fat. Therefore, the fat content of slimming cat rice should be as low as possible.

5. Can cats who lose weight still eat snacks? Most veterinarians and animal nutritionists suggest that snacks account for less than 10% of total daily calories. If cats need to lose weight, please give priority to natural high-protein foods, such as cooked chicken breast. Remember, if a cat coquettes you, it doesn't have to be a snack, just to get your attention. You can provide cats with catnip, toys or scratching their chins, which will make them feel very comfortable.
