As the cat's body continues to gain weight, its sensitivity to insulin decreases because it cannot properly utilize blood sugar, thereby increasing the risk of diabetes.

Obese cats are prone to diabetes, and most of them may be accompanied by abnormal fat metabolism, "triglyceride" and "high cholesterol", which can cause chronic pancreatitis.

How to make cats lose weight:

It's very simple, just like humans, "shut your mouth and stretch your legs" to get rid of obesity? The starch contained in cat food will easily make cats fat. High starch + low meat content reduces the cat's metabolism and makes it easier to gain weight. Try to feed wet food, canned food, freeze-dried food, raw meat and the like.

Cat weight loss plan:

  1. Meal plan

It is important to have a meal plan for your cat. Some parents choose to lose weight by reducing the original food intake, but it requires a gradual process. Start by reducing the amount of feeding, check the cat's physical condition at regular intervals, and then further reduce the amount of food according to the effect.

Reducing the amount of feeding can achieve the effect of losing weight, but this may lead to the lack of some nutrients in the cat's body, and will make the cat often starve. These problems can be solved with low-energy cat food, which are specially formulated to address your cat's hunger while limiting calorie content and ensuring adequate intake of other essential nutrients.

Once the cat has reached the target weight, the doctor will tell the parent how to maintain the ideal weight and should continue to monitor the cat's weight.

The "killer" that causes the owner's obesity to reduce or not feed.

Many shit shoveling officers choose to let their cat owners eat freely because of their busy work, which will lead to overeating and obesity.

Although it is difficult to get the fat man to move, start with a few minutes of interaction every day and then slowly increase the play time. It is a good choice to change sports such as playing with the cat with a laser pointer.

Cats must not use fasting and fasting to lose weight! This will only bring about a stress response.
