What is a fat cat? What can we do to help them get into shape? Why are they overweight to start with? dogs general These and many other questions, I hope to answer for you here. Obesity is the most common nutritional problem cats face. To be overweight, cats must be at least 10% above their ideal weight. This of course, varies breed to breed. It is a problem our veterinarians run dogs general into daily. Simply, the cat takes in far more calories than it expends. The problem isn’t restricted to either indoor or outdoor cats. Both habitats dogs general contain problem areas that we could control more.There are also other factors that come into play. These include their basic metabolic rate, aging, neutering, sex, and breed plus genetic predisposition come into play.Neutering/spaying is blamed much of the time, and indeed cats run twice the risk of being obese after these procedures, females almost 2:1 over males.
