Overweight cats are at risk for health problems
and do not generally live as long as cats that are trim. To determine if your
cat is overweight, run your hand along his side.
If you can not feel his ribs, it is time to start a weight
reduction program. If your cat does not have a waist, that is another
indication it is time to start a weight reduction program.
A weight reduction program for cats should with eliminate table
scraps and reduce treats, because table scraps are often high in fats and
sugars, and thus in calories.Feeding your cat before you cook or eat may help decrease his begging. If you cannot resist giving treats, choose a treat that is made for cats and is low in fat.
Examples include :
- Air-popped
popcorn, non-salted and non-buttered
- Broccoli
- Cooked
green beans
- Baked
or frozen canned diet foodCut small slices of canned food and bake them at
350 ºF until crisp. Store in refrigerator. Alternatively, simply freeze
slices of the canned food and feed it frozen to your cat.
- Commercial
low calorie cat treats
Treats should never make up more than 10 % of the daily
intake. New toys are often a good substitute for treats, as is exercise.
For cats who like to be groomed, a good brushing can take the place of food treats. If you ask your cat, she will probably say your attention is the best treat she could have.
