Is the cat too fat? What should I do?
Diet: Reduce the feeding amount of cats in a planned way, and never [feed to the full]. It's important to control your diet! You can choose low-calorie foods such as fish and shrimp.
Exercise: It is best for cats to exercise for half an hour every day. The owner can play some dynamic games with the cat. At first, every time 10 minute, 2-4 times a day.

Weight monitoring: Develop a good habit of regularly monitoring the cat's weight! It is difficult to detect the weight change of adult cats in daily life, so it is necessary to monitor the weight once or twice a month! Can prevent the risk of overweight cats in advance ~

Diet choice: Choose high-quality, high-protein+medium-fat, comprehensive and sufficient cat food as the staple food to ensure adequate nutritional intake of cats.
Food supplement: weight gain requires increasing the number of feeding times of cats to supplement nutrition. You can regularly feed some freeze-dried, canned staple food, chicken breast, egg yolk and other additional nutrients. But we should also pay attention to proper feeding, so as not to affect the intake of staple food! The principle is to give priority to staple food.
Regular deworming: parasites will take away the nutrients absorbed in the cat's diet, so it is very important to deworm on time! The normal insect repellent frequency of cats is: once every March for external drive and once every month for internal drive/kloc-0.
