Such thing as diet solutions for cats

My cat is huge.. How do i thin him out?\

Hi there.cats can be placed on a diet, but must be done slowly and carefully, which I'll include the steps to help you do this below. This method is best as cats are prone to hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease--http://maxshouse.com/feline_hepatic_lipi. if they are starved.

Most cats become overweight two ways: first, if they are free fed (food that is available all the time). Secondly, many cat food contain high levels of carbohydrates such as corn, corn meal and soy. A cat can never feel satisfied because of the carbs so they keep eating more. Cats are obligate carnivores so a diet higher in animal proteins is more beneficial to keep them lean and healthy. Corn, corn meal and soy have no nutritional value as they are used as fillers to help bind the kibble together so they don't crumble in the packaging and corn is also used to fatten slaughter quicker as well.

A healthy adult male should weigh between 10-16 pounds give or take a little more/less depending on the breed background of the cat. Your vet can best determine what weight is the ideal goal for you to so you won't accidentally overestimate.

Cats should eat a serving of 1/2 cup - 3/4 in total divided twice a day (e.g. morning and evening before bedtime--12 hours apart). If your kitty is eating more than this gradually cut back the amount by 1/16 one week at a time until you get to the ideal serving. Sometimes it's better to feed the cat multiple times throughout the day so he doesn't feel too depraved waiting the full 12 hours..perhaps like every 4 hours if your schedule permits.
