Simple tips to help your cat maintain a healthy weight

Keeping your cat at a healthy weight is important for their overall well-being.

Overweight cats are at risk of serious health problems.

Obesity can lead to diabetes, urinary issues, and arthritis, which causes pain in their joints.

An overweight cat may struggle to groom properly and find it harder to move around.

If your cat is overweight, ask your vet for advice. Never starve them or make drastic changes to their diet.

Your vet may suggest slowly reducing the amount of food your cat gets each day to help them lose weight.

Limit treats or stop them altogether to reduce extra calories.

Weigh your cat regularly to monitor their progress and make sure they are losing weight safely.

Get your cat moving by using toys, scattering their food, or playing with them more often.
