What do I do to slim down my overweight cat?

​

Here are some of the basics in limiting calories and slimming down your cat:

• Measure out food. Divide the cat’s targeted calorie intake into four to six small meals.

• Keep his water bowl full.

• Leave out cat food for a limited amount of time.

• Set a weight loss goal with your veterinarian.

• Avoid giving treats, or if you must, use a few pieces of her dry food as a substitute.

• Don’t share human food with your cat; it’s fattening and can cause diarrhea.

• Don’t allow your cat access to dog food
