Obesity can lead to mobility issues and put your cat at risk of diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers. Thus it is important to keep your cat at a normal weight. Your cat is most likely fat from a combination of too much food and not enough exercise. Determine the proper amount of calories for your cat and stay within that amount. Include calories from treats in the daily count. Consider feeding your cat a weight control formula food while she is losing weight. Increase your cat’s daily exercise with a planned half hour of active play every day. Use toys to stimulate your cat’s hunting instinct and get her moving. A ball, laser pointer or a fishing rod toy with a feather lure will entice your cat to chase, pounce and jump. Give your cat stuffed squeaky animals or crinkly noise toys to encourage play.
