Too much food, the wrong kind of food, or not enough exercise. Try to switch to an indoor cat formula, or a weight control food. This will help him lose some weight, and get him healthier. Obesity can cause many many health problems. Make sure he is getting enough exercise. Try getting him some cat toy, to get him more active. Good Luck!
Your cat may have worms. Get some worming tablets or paste from your vet. Also get sum fun toys for your cat to play with. Portion control your cat by weighing or measuring his food.
The right diet (ask your vet for their opinion…there are many different kinds out there) and pleanty of exercise. Also, don’t leave food out all of the time and just try to feed him 2-3 times a day.
Please, do not spin your cat on the chair. Thats not very nice, and he doesn’t seem to enjoy it either.
We adopted a huge fat cat, and the vet said she needed to go on a diet.
One thing that works great, is I have like 17 little dishes and I put them at all levels through out my house, upstairs in the bedroom, on the shelf in the living room….then I only put like 3-5 kibbles in each dish to equal her daily amount of 3/4th cup. If she is hungry she will go lookin’ for her food. She knows where all the dishes are and has even learned to jump up on the dryer then climb across the shelf to get a few kibbles. She has lost weight and gained muscle. She seemes happier and will chase the lazer light for longer amounts of time befoe she gets tired.
I have a female that used to be super skinny, like sick skinny than we had her spayed and last time she went to the vet she was ten pounds i know she is at least fifteen now, if not more. I don’t understand why, she is very active and eats like the other cats, i’m assuming its because of the spay. if your cat is not a female this will not help you any. i know as they get older they usually do get bigger, they get lazy and bored to where they just eat drink pee poo and sleep!!
