Paul Manktelow. Obesity is on the increase in the UK cat population. Associated with obesity are health complications such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, respiratory disease and joint problems. Overweight animals with arthritis are often in constant pain with the extra weight they must carry around. This article attempts to unravel fact from fiction in understanding this serious medical problem thereby helping owners getting their cats back to ideal weight.
Cats are adapted to a hunting lifestyle and are reliant on a totally animal based diet. This means that they are obligate (strict) carnivores and need meat and animal tissues to fulfil their nutritional needs. Their highly specialised taste and sensory system is designed for meat and animal tissues as are their jaws, teeth and digestive system. This article is a detailed guide to your cats nutritional needs and gives you tips on how best to feed your cat.Your Shopping Cart
