Any animal is very greedy. When it comes to delicious food, it will never get enough. When feeding cats, many owners will feed their cats a large amount of food without restraint because they cannot bear the innocent look in their eyes. In fact, this is It is an important reason for cats to gain weight. If you want to keep cats healthy, the first thing is that cats cannot be obese. For obese cats, owners can eat less and more meals. ​​​​​​

1. A 400-page survey report written by the National Academy of Sciences showed that 25% of European and American cats and dogs suffer from varying degrees of "obesity." Like humans, they face threats from diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The report reminds relevant pet scientists, pet food manufacturers and pet breeders: It’s time to lose weight for cats and dogs! The report points out that cats and dogs can produce vitamin C in their bodies, so there is no need to add this nutrient to their “meals”. In addition, cats are carnivores and need to eat meat regularly, but dogs are not. They can still stay strong after eating a nutritionally balanced vegetarian diet for a long time. Dogs and cats cannot be fed the same diet because they require different optimal ratios of protein and carbohydrates.

2. Generally speaking, cats are pickier eaters than dogs. The report recommends that cat owners should adopt a multiple-meal-a-day system, that is, feed cats 12-20 times a day, with very small amounts of food each time. For dogs, they only need to eat once a day to get the energy they need to last a whole day. The report warns dog and cat owners that they must control their pets' food intake and never eat whatever they want according to their temperament. At the same time, cats and dogs also need to add plenty of fresh drinking water, which will also help them lose weight.

3. The report also gives a series of data standards for judging whether cats and dogs are overweight, but the simplest way is to touch their abdomen. If the ribs cannot be felt, it should be considered overweight. For overweight cats and dogs, the report suggests that they should eat less; owners should feed them unpalatable food to reduce their appetite.
