Proper diet and exercise are essential to get him in shape and keep him healthy.<\/h3>\n<p>Feline overweight represents a particularly serious malnutrition disease in cats because it predisposes to serious diseases.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the scope of the problem, you need to know some basic concepts about feline nutrition.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Sai-che-il-gatto-\u00e8-un-carnivoro-obbligato\">Did you know that the cat is an &#8220;obligate carnivore&#8221;?<\/h4>\n<p>Like all animals that necessarily need meat in order to survive, the cat is an &#8220;obligate carnivore,&#8221; and protein forms the<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/it\/alimentazione-cane-e-gatto-in-estate\/\">backbone of its diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Its teeth, with sharp teeth for tearing and tearing apart prey meat, and its digestive system, with a rather short intestine, are specialized for a meat diet.<\/p>\n<p>Obligate carnivores lack certain enzymes at the salivary, intestinal and hepatic levels that are essential for carbohydrate digestion.<\/p>\n<p>That is why it is important to prevent them from taking any.<\/p>\n<p>Weight gain occurs when the cat takes in more calories than it is able to burn.<\/p>\n<p>This excess energy, associated with a sedentary lifestyle, is stored in the form of fat.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, indoor cats tend to eat poorly and more than they should, and the risk of overstretching beyond the right weight can cause them to become overweight and degenerate into obesity.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"A-quali-patologie-\u00e8-predisposto-il-gatto-in-sovrappeso\">What diseases is the overweight cat predisposed to?<\/h4>\n<p>In felines, overweight is a condition that predisposes to the development or exacerbates the progression of major diseases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>diabetes mellitus<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>hepatic lipidosis<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>diseases of the lower urinary tract<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>arthritis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to this, <em>an overweight cat is more prone to exercise intolerance, elevated anesthesia risk, respiratory issues, and reduced immunity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-sovrappeso-\u00e8-causato-solo-dalla-cattiva-alimentazione\">Is overweight caused only by poor nutrition?<\/h4>\n<p>There are also cases in which cat obesity is attributable not so much to poor nutrition as to metabolic dysfunction or endocrine imbalances.<\/p>\n<p>Aging is another cause of excessive cat weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhat like what happens with humans, cats also tend to gain weight when they get older because their metabolism changes.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the true causes of your cat&#8217;s obesity, your veterinarian plays a key role: with his help and <em>specific examinations<\/em>, he will be able to determine exactly why your cat has gained weight.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-Veterinario-ha-stabilito-che-il-gatto-va-messo-a-dieta\">Has the Veterinarian determined that the cat should be put on a diet?<\/h4>\n<p>If your veterinarian ascertains that your cat&#8217;s overweight stems from poor nutrition, it is time to take action and plan <em>a proper weight loss program <\/em>.  <\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the diet is to bring about a loss of body fat with minimal loss of lean tissue, and without adverse health effects.<\/p>\n<p>A well-balanced diet tailored to the cat&#8217;s physiological condition will help reduce energy intake and stimulate feelings of satiety.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Sai-che-per-ridurre-il-sovrappeso-del-gatto-ci-vogliono-ordine-e-disciplina-da-parte-tua\">Do you know that to reduce cat overweight, it takes order and discipline on your part?<\/h4>\n<p>It is important, in addition to quantity, how you feed your cat&#8217;s food.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to schedules, prescribed servings and, above all, do not stretch leftovers or snacks: <em>order and discipline<\/em> are the basis of an effective diet.<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely forbidden, therefore, to place bowls overflowing with kibble and to be pitied by the cat&#8217;s groans.<\/p>\n<p>Weigh the cat on a weekly basis and record it in a diary, specifying what and how much it eats so you can monitor the progress of the diet and the progressive reduction of overweight.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Sai-che-il-sovrappeso-si-sconfigge-con-la-dieta-associata-all-esercizio-fisico\">Did you know that overweight is defeated by diet combined with exercise?<\/h4>\n<p>By leading a sedentary life and having no need to hunt, the cat ends up accumulating unexpressed energy.<br \/>\nThat is why, in addition to diet, the cat must also get <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">adequate and constant exercise<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>But how to stimulate the cat to exercise?<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to create an environment suitable for the cat&#8217;s ethological needs and to stimulate it to move around.<\/p>\n<p>There are numerous accessories and games on the market to help him stay on the move.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Scale-e-mensole\">Stairs and shelves<\/h4>\n<p>Cats like to climb everywhere. Ladders and shelves allow him to reach very high places.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will the cat be able to move around and enjoy jumping from one spot to another, but it will also be able to rest and feel safe.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Tira-graffi\">Scratch pulls<\/h4>\n<p>Sharpening claws is an innate necessity of the cat.<\/p>\n<p>The best would be to have the bark of a tree available, but if you can&#8217;t put one in the house, there are several types of scratch pullers on the market.<\/p>\n<p>The taller ones, in addition to the ability to get nails, also allow the cat to sleep, rest, play and jump.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Giochi-intelligenti\">Smart games<\/h4>\n<p>Cats love to chase and play with anything that moves.<\/p>\n<p>An aluminum foil paper ball is already an assured source of fun.<\/p>\n<p>Cardboard boxes for cats, likewise.<\/p>\n<p>Always vary the type of toys, preventing the kitten from becoming accustomed and unstimulated.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Compagni-di-giochi\">Playmates<\/h4>\n<p>It would also be a good idea, if your cat is an &#8220;only child,&#8221; to welcome at least one other cat into the house so that he or she can have a playmate and rambling companion.<\/p>\n<p>If your cat is over sized, contact us and schedule an appointment to assess its health status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/\">La Veterinaria Clinic<\/a>, our Staff Physicians are always available to you for comprehensive check-ups and specialized consultations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>La Veterinaria Clinic is always open h24 every day including holidays and with First Aid service from 8 pm to 8 am.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the joy of seeing them HAPPY.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overweight in the cat: diet and exercise are necessary to get him back in line and avoid serious diseases.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":35034,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[687,678,1,722,679,769],"tags":[770,1600],"class_list":["post-29952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animal-welfare","category-cats","category-non-categorizzato","category-power-supply","category-prevention","category-remedies-en","tag-cat","tag-overweight"],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":true,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"featured_image_src":{"landsacpe":["https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sovrappeso-felino-2.jpg",600,302,false],"list":["https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sovrappeso-felino-2-463x302.jpg",463,302,true],"medium":["https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sovrappeso-felino-2-300x151.jpg",300,151,true],"full":["https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sovrappeso-felino-2.jpg",600,302,false]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Overweight in the cat: causes and remedies | La Veterinaria Clinic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Overweight in the cat: diet and exercise are necessary to get him back in line and avoid serious diseases\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/overweight-cat-and-feline-obesity-getting-your-kitty-in-shape-is-essential-to-keep-him-healthy-heres-how-to-do-it\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Overweight cat and feline obesity: getting your kitty in shape is essential to keep him healthy.
