45 Percent of cats in the US are over weight or obese, and that the incidence of feline diabetes has increased fivefold in the last 30 years. Like their tubby human counterparts, cats gain weight because of lack of exercise and poor diet. and those extra pounds can lead to diabetes, liver disease, heart and renal failure, and arthritis. Help your flabby feline lose weight and keep it off.
1. Before putting your kitty on a diet have your vet test his-her kidney, liver, and thyroid functions.
2. Ditch the dry food, which is too high in carbs for cats, and think the "CATKINS" diet 40 percent to 45 percent protein 40 percent to 45 percent fat, and only 3 percent to 5 percent carbs.A high quality canned or raw food is best, but make the change slowly because if Garfield goes on a hunger strike, he can quickly develop feline fatty liver syndrome, which can be deadly.
3.Feed him about 2 percent of his body weight in three to four small daily meals. and provide plenty of fresh water.
Get him off his rump as much as possible.plenty of play time
