The facts and figure indicate that there are about 40 % of Overweight Cats. This is a pretty high number. Only 5 to 10 % of cats are believed to be in the normal category. Veterinary doctors have always advised the pet owners to take special care of their pets so that they don’t get over weight.

The answer to this issue is simple; if you eat more than you burn then you get over weight. Most of you might question is this really the reason? Well the real fact is yes this is. It’s a simple as that.
How to avoid Overweight
The logical way to avoid overweight is to feed your cat or pet only the amount of food that it requires. What this means is that there is no need for extra meals.

The doctors simply reply to this by saying that there is no other source of food other than the pet owners themselves.
