Weight Watchers - Q&A...

My Tabby cat needs to lose weight... he won’t fit through the cat flap. What advice can you give me?

Obesity in pets is an all too common problem. It may eventually contribute to medical disorders like diabetes and joint problems as well as having associations with cystitis. It is important to put your pet on a diet under the supervision of your local vet, who may recommend a special calorie controlled food and monitor progress with regular weight checks. Cats who are 50% overweight may take up to 6 months to fight the flab but the outcome will be rewarding for you both.
