Help! Why is my cat so overweight?
Top Replies
It's common for cats to become overweight if they're not getting enough exercise or are eating too much. Have you tried measuring out her food portions to make sure she's not eating too much? You could also try increasing her activity level by adding more toys or playing with her for longer periods of time. It's great that you're already feeding her high-quality food!
Obesity in cats can lead to a number of health issues, such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. That's why it's important to address your cat's weight gain as soon as possible. In addition to measuring her food and increasing her activity level, you might also want to consider talking to your vet about a weight management plan. They can provide you with personalized advice based on your cat's specific needs.
It's important to remember that weight loss should be a gradual process for cats. Rapid weight loss can actually be harmful to their health. Aim for a weight loss of no more than 1-2% of your cat's body weight per week. This will help ensure that she loses weight safely and doesn't develop any new health problems in the process.
