If the cat is too fat, there may be various problems, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, joint diseases, diabetes and so on. In order to make fat cats live healthier, many owners will let them join the ranks of losing weight. However, many cats finally failed to lose weight, but some new problems appeared. If you want a fat cat to lose weight successfully, the owner must take a multi-pronged approach and stick to it.

First, reduce the intake of high-calorie foods.

When cats consume more calories than themselves, the accumulated calories in the body will be converted into fat and stored in the body, which will lead to obesity. Therefore, the first step for cats to lose weight is to replace food with low-calorie and low-fat food, so that cats can't get more calories from food and can only consume excess fat in their bodies to meet their own needs. If you are worried that cats will be hungry, you might as well buy them some high-fiber cat food, which is easy to make cats feel full.

Second, losing weight lies in exercise.

It is not enough to reduce calories in food. Exercise is the best way to consume calories and fat in the body. At present, many foreign institutions have set up swimming pools specifically for pets to lose weight. Swimming fat cats can not only achieve the effect of losing weight, but also reduce the damage to joints during exercise. We all know that the joints of fat cats are under great pressure during exercise, so if conditions permit, the owner had better let the cats lose weight by swimming.

In fact, in the daily maintenance process, the owner can make some cats exercise more by changing their living habits, such as putting the food basin in a slightly higher place, so that cats need to jump every time they eat (cats with joint problems are not recommended to do this); When playing games with cats, deliberately throw your favorite toys farther away, and so on.

Third, eat less and eat more.

Many girls may be using this method to lose weight, which is equally effective for cats. Although the amount of food per meal has decreased, the interval between meals has also become shorter, and cats will soon not feel hungry.

Fourth, record the weight

Recording the weight can not only help the owner to see the results of one stage of weight loss, but also let the owner know what adjustments need to be made in the next stage of weight loss. In addition, when the owner finds that the cat's weight changes too much, he should find out the reason as soon as possible. If the cat is sick, the owner should take the cat to the pet hospital for treatment at the first time.
