diet program for fat cats

obesity is a permanent program in Germany - unfortunately this is now not only for us people (we are even to blame! ), but for our pets. Whether rat, dog, cat or is there no difference. Depending on how you "too fat" interpretation, are between 30% and 50% of affected animals and have to fear it more than "fat" look.

Why fat cats should be removed:

obesity, overweight or even obese (extremely overweight) can lead to serious illnesses that impact quality of life of the thick velvet paw significantly. Mentioned are especially popular:

• degenerative joint / joint diseases (The excessive burden of bone and cartilage)
• diabetes mellitus (the fat hormone leptin interacts with the insulin regulation)
• liver disease (by over-enrichment the liver)
• cardiovascular disorders (by fatty degeneration of the arteries)

reason enough to put the cat on a diet, right?

The diet program for fat tiger

Basics of Cat Diet:

As a caring owner should know that cats (unlike dogs) as difficult of a diet convince are like children ... ;) Cats just can not take the lead and encourage them to her bikini figure by more movement, more likely to be insidious (and devious) the taking will be forced (sorry!).

The body of the cat is also not designed to pound tumbling to leave, but keeps the fat as long as possible to the body. This is because in the wild every gram of fat is valuable and increases the cat's survival.

The diet must therefore be conducted over a longer period and shows first results at the earliest after 10 weeks (especially since 0.5 kg for a cat is a lot, because they weigh so much less in total than humans).

There are also (rare but occurring) diseases that cause obesity in cats. Before you go to the preserves, you should therefore ensure that your cat is not affected.

Step 1: Calculate Ideal Weight cat

The ideal amount of food for cats is between 175 and 400g. Fairly large margin, is not it? This is because the cat will need more food than cats and Maine Coons (which sometimes brings 10kg on the scales) need more than an Abyssinian cat who weighs just 3kg.

Look So your cat closely and ask yourself, is the race, she listened, usually heavier or lighter than a house cat? Is it a cat or a cat? Is the animal spayed (neutered because animals need less)?

A normal female castrated mongrel-house cat weighs about 3kg and therefore need 180g wet cat food a day to maintain a normal weight.

A normal castrated male domestic cat usually weighs 4kg and therefore needs to 200g wet cat food.

Your veterinarian will help you surely like to estimate the ideal weight of your cat.

Step 2: The Can Opener (Du!) reflects its behavior

Now that you know how much your cat actually eat should you watch how much you actually give her. Yes, treats, sausage, self-caught mice, and external eating the neighbors are also included!

Many owners are shocked when they find that their pets get fed one-third more to what they should eat properly.

Step 3: The weekly schedule

You have from now on omit any additional feedings to the normal feeding times, your cat, you help no more, if you promote diabetes, joint problems, etc. by well-intentioned treats!

The main problem Is that a higher amount of food your cat is accustomed to eat as they should. And this is not just a mental thing. The body of the cat trusts to get the usual amount of food and reacts with little strike, if you reduce by one day to the amount of feed noticeable.

Therefore, within four to six weeks, the amount of food should be reduced to this by you leave out every week, a tablespoon of food anymore.

Add your weekly schedule to please, so you can understand if you yourself think of it.

example

Feed fed at the moment: 400g per day

food set in 6 weeks: 200g

Week1: 370g

Week 2: 340g

Week 3: 300g

Week 4: 270g

Week 5: 240g

Week 6: 200g

Step 4: Movement for the birds'

addition to the diet program, it has a positive effect on your cat when it moves. But how do you get a lazy puss to be moving more?

• More games: Encourage your cat to be more games . Twine, cordage, fur mice and so are your friends! ;)
• More thinking: Fummel boards are also a successful approach that makes sense to keep the cat from dozing. But remember to deduct the amount of feed that you put into Fummel board of the daily ration, so that the diet program is effective.
• More Action: Outside, it is more exciting than inside. If you have the opportunity to open the door and put the Tigers in front of the door. Outside, he moves inevitably more on it because there is much more than a warm heating pad with a warm ....
