Cat obesity is on the rise and could lead to severe costs since a weight that’s unhealthy could influence a fat cat to different serious medical issues and, eventually, even a life-span that’s short.
First of all, let us take a look at several reasons. Here are some reasons why cats become fat:
We have to be responsible as a cat owner. However, there’s no question that we give the blame to cats themselves since cats manipulates great and know how to bring a guilt trip with their persistent meowing and head butting, making us a hostage over the food plate and when it comes to treat dispensing.
The next reason why cats are fat is because we are giving them a lot of treats.
According to professionals, a treat is just a treat. It is a method to encourage wanted behaviors when training, or most frequently to demonstrate affection and love physically. However, these treats contain a lot of calories that aren’t counted in the daily nutritional needs. Treats for cats could be a good addition to nutrient intake if it is managed like our afternoon snack.
Cats require a unique supplemented diet as they grow up. But, feeding this specialized food after the growing stage of a kitten could set it up for obesity. Usually, almost every cat is completely grown around 6 months of age. However, particular huge breeds could keep growing up to 1 year.
