Q: My cat is overweight and I've tried everything to help him lose weight. Do you have any suggestions?
Answer: You will need to take various steps to help reduce the weight of your overweight cat. The first is to cut back on treats, snacks and feeding food from the table. These are generally high in calories and may contribute to weight gain. The second step can be to feed less of your cat's regular cat food. This usually means measuring the amount of food that's put into the cat's dish to prevent the serving size from increasing over time. Third, you can increase your cat's exercise with additional playtime each day (get the cat to chase a kitty fishing line, table tennis ball, light shined on the floor from a flashlight, etc.). This helps you as well as your cat, and has the additional benefit of increasing the amount of time the both of you spend together. Finally, you could consider switching to a low-calorie food (depending on the age of the cat). These products are designed to allow an owner to serve a nice-size portion while still reducing the calories the animal eats.
It is always a good idea to consult with your local veterinarian before putting your cat on a weight-loss program. The veterinarian can help tailor a weight-loss program for your cat and can track progress and help troubleshoot along the way. |

| It is important that you scoop your cat's litter box on a daily basis. Cats are finicky about their personal hygiene and may refuse to use a box that is very soiled. On a weekly basis wash the box and completely replace the litter. |
