Understanding Weight Management in Cats

[Jason55]

Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for a cat’s comfort and mobility. Extra weight puts pressure on joints, increases the risk of diabetes, and affects heart health. Many owners don’t realize their cat is overweight because changes happen gradually.

Weight management starts with proper portion control and consistent feeding routines. Treats should be limited and used thoughtfully. Regular play helps burn calories and keeps muscles strong.

Monitoring your cat’s body shape and movement is important. Difficulty jumping or grooming can be early signs of weight-related problems.

A healthy weight supports a longer, more active, and more comfortable life for your cat.
