Obesity in Cats
Obesity is the most common nutritional disease in domestic cats. It predisposes them to diabetes (Type 2), arthritis, and reduced lifespan.
Dry vs Wet Food
Many veterinarians recommend wet food for weight loss because:
- Higher Water Content: Helps cats feel full.
- Lower Carbohydrates: Cats are obligate carnivores and handle protein/fat better than carbs.
- Less Calorie Dense: Harder to overeat compared to kibble.
Warning
Never starve an obese cat. If they stop eating for even a few days, they can develop fatty liver disease (hepatic lipidosis), which is fatal if untreated.
Treats
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your cat's daily calorie intake.
