Whiskers Camarillo

Not long ago I was on hold to speak to my vet and instead of music, I listened to health facts and tips.  One of the facts was that every pound over your small pet’s ideal weight causes their little hearts to work up to 25% harder.  I decided to publish this because we all want our fur babies around and healthy as long as possible and many of us are unknowingly jeopardizing that.  The only tip here I would disregard personally is weighing myself then weighing myself again with my pet…neither of those is gonna happen since my vet has a scale that in no way involves me being humiliated in my own home.

Statistics show that cats are getting fatter. This might make you wonder a couple of things. First, could your cat be among this growing number? A visual test can get you started on answering that question.

The second question that can come to mind is: How bad is the problem? Check out this infographic for stats on overweight cats and obese cats, and learn how to get your fat cat back on track.
