Excess weight can be not only in humans, but also in animals! The diet is completely dependent on the host. If you do not properly feed your pet, but it's no surprise that it has become fat and immense. Let's be honest, the excess weight of an animal, it's very bad. First, because of excess weight, the years of life are shortened, and secondly, the cat may have digestive problems. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the cat. It's a pity that you can not record it for fitness ... But we know how to help!
You can not feed fluffy
The fat little cat looks cute, but the fat girl is not nice at all. Therefore, it is better for seals than for us. Everyone is touched when they look at a koteechka and that is why they are feeding their fluffs even more. After all, we love our fuzzy. But he looks at us with unhappy eyes, hochotereudnuyu yummy. And if he starts to miaow, how can he refuse anything at all? We all love our pets, and it's hard for us to restrain ourselves.
But let's find out. It's all very bad and selfish. You like it and you feed it even more. But this hurts the health. After all, you know how people suffer from being overweight, and how many diseases are affected. Animals are also arranged. Excess fat is bypassed. And not the best "side".
In particular, castrated and sterilized cots are subject to obesity. Their metabolism is broken, and they are much faster gaining weight. Their metabolism has deteriorated, so they should be followed even more.
You ask, what is so dangerous obesity for a cat? They may have liver problems, and the cardiovascular system may also be disrupted. Cats have shortness of breath. They suffer from all the diseases that a man. Do not you want such a fate for your pet?
Normal weight
If you have a normal thoroughbred or not thoroughbred cat, then it can weigh up to 5 kilograms, but not more. This is the norm only for "standard" seals. If you have an animal from a large breed, such as a Maine or a Briton, then they can gain weight up to 8 kilograms. Males usually weigh more than the bag. If you are the owner of an elegant kitty sphinx, then for her 5 kilograms a lot. They usually weigh up to 3.5 kilograms. They are small stroynyashki.
To check your cat for overweight, veterinarians are advised to do the following. Put your cat on its side and look at the line of the beaks. His stomach should not bulge. If it "hangs", then your cat needs a diet! It's time to do something.
It's worth to follow your coteyka. Full cats can be given the following symptoms: the cat began to move rarely, he had a shortness of breath, he was too lazy to play, he began to eat and drink more. If your cat has all these symptoms, then it's time for it to lose weight. And since the cat itself does not sit on a diet, everything is in your hands. And to motivate you should be that much fatty cats maldozhut because of health problems.
Kitten diet
What can I say here. The cat can not open the fridge himself and eat whatever he wants. Therefore, his diet is completely in your hands. So you are in favor of all. Kitty can not break off the diet and will not raid the refrigerator, as a person could do. The option is simple: you give less food to a cat. Reduce the proportion of food.
But on the other hand - a hungry cat can tickle your nerves nervously. If you spend a lot of time at home, then the cat will be running after you and meowing at the same time. Very soon he will pity you, and you will all be fed equal. So you most likely yourself and break in the fervor. Therefore, simply reducing portions of food is not an option at all. It is necessary to change the entire diet of your pet.
If your cat only eats feed, then it is worth going to the veterinarian. He will consult and advise a special medical feed for obesity. It is mixed with ordinary food, and the cat does not even feel hunger. His metabolism is improving, and very soon you will notice the results.
Cats that prefer natural food are less likely to be fattened. But if this happened, the vet should examine it and find out the cause. Perhaps this is not a simple overeating. Obesity can be caused by hormonal changes in the body. And it should be treated.
So those who feed the cat with natural products, should add to its diet more fiber (cereals and cooked vegetables). Avoid fatty meat from the diet. Replace it with a lean chicken or fish. And in no case do not feed the cat from the table. Do not give the cat sausage, sprats, etc. It's bad for him. A cat on a diet, you yourself know what it is.
Fitness for a coteyka
Do not forget that losing weight without physical exertion is impossible. Cats are no exception. If you live in a private house, then the cat will walk and have fun on the street. Therefore, the physical load can be worried, he will find a job.
But if it's a city cat, which is always in the apartment, then you'll have to make an effort. The worn out cat, most likely, the whole day eats and rolls on an armchair or a sofa, cute snuffling. I'll have to stir a thin cat.
If you have children, they will play with him and "drive" around the apartment. They will throw bows on a string, etc. But if there are no children yet, then you will have to do fitness. Become a personal trainer. One hour of "games" cat is enough.
After changing the power mode and active games, you will see the result. In a month your cat will begin to acquire its former form. He will become more active and will be less lying on the couch. If your efforts fail, then you should reduce your cat to a veterinarian for an examination. Maybe he will help and make a personal diet for your pet. Today, many people turn around with similar problems to the vet.
