Cats, those majestic, independent strong, spoiled and overweight? Our cats are all those things.

Most of them are what we love best about our cat. Except is he/she overweight.

If so, what natural weightloss method is best for your cat?

You love your cats. You keep them indoors naturally. You feed them the best food you can. You give them a loving and wonderful home.

Do you give them a tad to much of the best food?

If your cat seems to be more docile and not playing as much that could be a sign, a change of diet may be in order.

For cats weight and too much of it, can be the cause of many diseases. Cats have a higher risk of getting diseases such as kidney stones, or crystals and a very high risk of diabetes.

Also their quality of life changes. They cannot jump up to look out the window, which we all know as cat owners they love to be able to sit on a windowsill.

The worst side effect of being overweight is their life expectancy becomes much shorter.

Here are some tips to help you with your cat’s weight problem.

Tip #1. The first step in helping your cat lose weight is their diet. Is the current food they are eating high in fat and calories?

Try slowly changing over their food to a healthy weight loss food. You can select from a variety of very good quality foods that are available.

Tip #2. If your cat is eating people food that has to be cut out. Also if you are giving him/her snacks of any kind, that also should be stopped.

Many times, it is better to feed your cat small meals during the day instead of one large meal twice a day.

Most important with cats you must do any change gradually. Cats should never lose weight quickly.

It is recommended that you allow no more then a couple of pounds a year.

Tip #3. Finally, with a healthier diet your cat should want to be more active. We know our cats can be stubborn, but if possible try to get them to play a couple of times a day.

My cat likes to run after rolled up napkins. Roll them in a ball and through it. They are soft so your cat can pick them up.



None of this will be simple but it will be worth it. When your cat starts to lose just a little of their weight they will feel so much better.

Especially older cats. It is so much harder for them to carry extra pounds.

Always remember with cats slow is always better. Never try to speed up weight loss for your cat it is very dangerous.

Use natural and safe remedies for your cat.
