Pet Health – Overweight or Obese Pets
August 13, 2011 Ever wonder what to do about your overweight cat? I have a cat that is overweight and I thought it was time to put my sweet 'Meadow' on a diet. I had always heard that when putting a pet on a diet you should be very cautious. So I researched many sites to see the best way to help my cat lose weight. During my research I learned that overweight and actually obese cats outnumber cats of normal weight and are being seen more and more commonly by veterinarians for various disorders. In fact, obesity in cats can predispose the cat to diabetes, hepatic lipidosis and arthritis.
