The warnings are there, but as cat owners are we listening? Vets and other professionals within the pet industry are focusing on the health issues associated with feline obesity.

The goal of providing awareness is that more owners will start taking action to control the weight and ultimately the health of thier cats. The desired result is that more cat owners will seek out products to address the problem of sedentary and overweight cats.

The key to weight loss in cats is to control the overall amount that a cat is consuming and at the same time increase his or her activity levels. This is the same concept as in humans. Diets that are higher in protein can be beneficial for cats, but they are not the cureall. High protein diets can help to stimulate a cat’s metabolism. It is important to note that the overall food intake still needs to be controlled.
