How to Put Your Cat on a Diet – 20 Tips to Lose Weight (Vet Answer)

The post How to Put Your Cat on a Diet – 20 Tips to Lose Weight (Vet Answer) by Dr. Rachel Ellison appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it‚ but all of these articles were assigned‚ contracted and paid for‚ so they aren't considered public domain. However‚ we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article‚ then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com. Click to Skip Ahead Why Is Their Weight Important? The Vet’s Role Food and Calories Increase Physical Activity Additional Factors Were you aware that in 2022‚ a whopping 61% of cats were overweight or obese1? While this means that almost two out of every three cats are affected‚ fortunately‚ there are many ways for cat owners to combat this extra body fat. Overall‚ it is known that weight loss can be brought about with the proper diet‚ the correct restriction of calories‚ and physical exercise. In this article‚ we’ll discuss information about weight‚ how an appropriate food/diet plan can be put in place‚ and numerous overall strategies on how to get your cat to lose (or prevent gaining) excess weight. Why Is Their Weight Important? For context‚ a cat is considered to be overweight if they are 10–20% above their ideal body weight‚ while a cat is considered to be obese if they are greater than 20% above their ideal weight. Even if your cat is not overweight currently‚ it is easier to prevent than to treat obesity. Therefore‚ the tips in this article are really for any cat owner‚ whether they have an overweight cat or not! Just as with humans‚ weight is an important part of the puzzle in a cat’s overall health. In fact‚ it has been shown that overweight pets have a higher risk of various disease associations. This excess weight can cause‚ or if already present‚ exacerbate medical health issues such as diabetes‚ osteoarthritis‚ renal disease‚ some types of cancer‚ etc. Furthermore‚ the hormones that are given off by extra fat tissue have been found to keep the body in a long-term state of inflammation2. In addition‚ extra weight can simultaneously shorten a cat’s life span and cause them to have a decreased quality of life. Image Credit: Zhuravleb Andrey‚ Shutterstock The Veterinarian’s Role A weight-reduction plan should be evaluated and carried out under the direction of a veterinarian. In addition to obtaining an accurate body weight and a thorough history coupled with a physical exam‚ they may utilize lab work to rule out the occasional medical cause of weight gain. Furthermore‚ they can counsel you on your individual cat’s ideal body weight and how to determine your cat’s body condition score (BCS) and muscle condition scoring (MCS). A BCS determines a pet’s body fat; this is done by feeling for fat across the ribs‚ looking at fat distribution from above‚ and looking at fat distribution from the sides to determine an overall score. The score can be based on either a 5-point or 9-point scale. For the 1–5 point scale‚ a 1 is an emaciated cat and a 5 is an obese cat‚ with a 3 being an ideal body weight. On the 1–9 point scale‚ a 1 is also emaciated‚ a 9 signifies obesity‚ and for cats‚ a 5 is ideal. An MCS determines muscle mass and includes visual examination and palpation along the body at specific points to determine if muscle wasting is present in mild‚ moderate‚ or marked amounts. Furthermore‚ your cat’s vet can teach you how to read pet food/treat nutrition labels and calculate nutrition requirements correctly. This information can be used to calculate how many calories your cat is actually eating. Other nutritional calculations such as resting energy requirements (RER) and maintenance energy requirements (MER) are used by veterinarians to help determine how many calories your cat should be eating to lose weight safely over time. If a cat loses too much weight too quickly or stops eating suddenly‚ there can be medical problems‚ such as hepatic lipidosis (also known as fatty liver syndrome) which can be life-threatening. As a reference‚ a cat should have 24–35 calories per pound per day; but your veterinarian can help calculate a good starting point given your cat’s factors3. In addition‚ a good and safe reference range of a cat’s body weight loss per week is 0.5–2.0%4. Veterinarians can come up with a specific feeding plan that allots out the amount/caloric density of food (and potentially some small allotment for treats) for your cat to lose weight based on several of the above-mentioned factors. This plan will consider your cat’s ideal body weight‚ their BCS‚ MCS‚ total calories being consumed currently‚ RER and MER calculations as well as your cat’s stage of life‚ any concurrent diseases‚ their lifestyle and activity levels‚ etc. The 20 Tips to Lose Weight Food and Calories Image Credit: Prystai‚ Shutterstock 1. Measure it Out Use an actual level measuring cup (or even better and more accurate‚ a kitchen weight scale!) to find out exactly how much you are feeding your cat. This is the first step to understanding and becoming aware of where you’re starting‚ and going forward‚ to accurately control the amount of food (and calories). 2. Label Information Obtain all the nutrition/label information from your sources of food‚ treats‚ food used to give medicine‚ homemade diets‚ table scraps‚ etc. This label information may be on the bag in question‚ or you may need to research or contact the manufacturer‚ etc. This step can help you determine where all the calories for your cat are coming from and help your veterinarian in nutritional calculations. 3. Quality Food Feed a good‚ quality food. A diet change may or may not be needed. There are even prescription diet cat foods that may be an option for your cat. Discuss with your cat’s veterinarian any specific diet recommendations and diet transition instructions. 4. Overfeeding Do not allow free feeding (always having food available in the bowl). One of the biggest human-related factors to a cat being overweight is overfeeding5. This is very common‚ and many pet owners do this unknowingly‚ but our eyes are bigger than their stomachs. Remember‚ if a cat has free access to food‚ this is like having a buffet available all the time! Image Credit: adogslifephoto‚ Thinkstock. 5. Communication Make sure everyone in the household who could be taking care of the cat is on the same page. Communication is important! Some tips to prevent doubling up food on accident could include a check-off system or to pre-measure out and label bags of food/treats for each day of the week. 6. Reduce Treats Reduce calories given from treats to less than 10% of a cat’s daily allotted calories (as long as they are being given a full and complete diet)6. Alternatively‚ you could instead give rewards with attention‚ special or favorite toys‚ catnip‚ brushing‚ etc. 7. Remove Human Food Remove human food or table scraps from the cat’s diet. This is not only unhealthy for your cat but is easy to overload‚ giving excess calories even with small amounts of food. If you’re only allotted around 200–300 calories per day‚ even a small square of cheese can add up! Image Credit: Ground Picture‚ Shutterstock 8. Automated Feeders Automated‚ timed feeders that dispense a pre-measured amount may be helpful for some so a cat does not associate their owner with feeding them. In multi-cat households there may need to be some oversight with this so that separation still occurs. Some feeders even utilize a sensor collar that will only open when the cat in question is within range and then close off the food if the cat moves away. 9. Splitting Meals Try splitting the allotted meals up in differing amounts or at different times. For example‚ if your cat begs for food overnight‚ try giving a smaller meal in the morning and a larger meal at night. If you feed your cat once or twice a day and the cat begs for food between meals‚ try dividing out the specified total calories into 3 or 4 smaller meals. 10. Supervision In a multi-cat household‚ it is essential to ensure that each cat is only eating the food allotted to them. With more than one cat‚ there can also be competition or resource guarding for food. This could be remedied by physically separating them during their mealtimes (such as in a different room behind a closed door‚ a tall baby gate‚ etc.) or as mentioned above‚ a cat feeder with a sensor collar. Increasing Physical Activity Image Credit: New Africa‚ Shutterstock 11. Make Them Work Make your cat work for their food. Move their meals around regularly to areas that they don’t normally frequent‚ so they have to go far away from their usual hangouts and ‘hunt’ for their meal. 12. Cat Tree A cat tree or using vertical space to jump up to get to their meal can also give some additional physical activity. 13. Toys Because cats have such a predatory instinct‚ they may find toys such as play mice‚ feathers‚ teaser wands‚ or laser pointers enticing. Provide a variety of toys but rotate them to discourage boredom. Image Credit: Christian Bodhi‚ Pixabay 14. Obstacle Course A homemade obstacle course‚ especially with catnip or an allotted small treat as encouragement‚ can incentivize even more movement! 15. Outside Time Trying a harness and leash walk outside may be a physical activity that some cats enjoy. 16. Exercise Wheel A cat exercise wheel that allows for walking or running may be worth looking into for some inquisitive cats. Additional Factors Image Credit: Chendongshan‚ Shutterstock 17. Scatter Their Food You could try tossing your cat’s food kibbles out and around so they have to chase it and expend some energy to get their meal! 18. Food Dispensing Toys A food and exercise combination tip is to use food-dispensing balls or toys. These are fabulous in that the cat must use both their mind and body. And‚ once a cat knows how to reliably use it‚ you could put a portion (or all of) the cat’s allotted calories to keep them working. It’s a win-win-win. 19. Routine Weigh-ins How do you know if your cat is making progress? Routine weigh-ins and recheck visits. A baby scale (at home and/or at the veterinary clinic) can be a helpful tool in this regard. Monitoring for progress as well as any needed changes is key. Image Credit: Koldunov Alexey‚ Shutterstock 20. Environmental Enrichment In one study‚ overweight cats on a restricted diet with increased environmental enrichment had activity collars and were found to have more activity than overweight cats with the same feeding instructions without the increased enrichment. You may consider this and include window perches‚ bird feeders outside a window‚ scratching posts‚ etc. to help provide overall good mental well-being for your cat. Conclusion A cat’s weight loss plan typically needs a multifaceted approach to solve (or prevent) this common problem. As your cat’s vet is your furry family member’s biggest advocate‚ they will use science and medicine in creating your cat’s best-individualized weight loss (or maintenance) plan. As your cat’s owner‚ you will be responsible for carrying out the plan daily to ensure the best result for your pet. It’s helpful to know that both you and your cat’s veterinarian are essential partners in your cat’s weight loss journey and that your cat will be able to live their best life because of your teamwork!

How to Weigh Your Cat: 5 Vet-Approved Steps

The post How to Weigh Your Cat: 5 Vet-Approved Steps by Jessica Kim appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it‚ but all of these articles were assigned‚ contracted and paid for‚ so they aren't considered public domain. However‚ we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article‚ then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com. Though it may not be considered a necessary part of caring for cats‚ there are significant benefits to weighing your cat. Since cats can’t use words to tell us if they’re feeling sick‚ cat owners must be observant and look for potential warning signs of illness. A cat’s weight and the rate of weight gain and loss can tell you a lot about a cat’s well-being and overall quality of life. For example‚ keeping track of a cat’s weight can ensure healthy weight loss for overweight cats or raise flags for underlying diseases that impact a cat’s weight. Fortunately‚ weighing a cat is a straightforward process. Here are a few ways you can start weighing your cat and keeping track of their weight. Before You Start There are a few ways you can measure your cat’s weight. You can certainly place your cat on a pet scale and measure their weight‚ but this can be difficult if your cat doesn’t like to stay still. For this reason‚ many people opt to hold their cat and use a human scale to record their cat’s weight. If you choose this method‚ make sure that your cat’s already comfortable with being picked up and held. 1. Measure Your Own Weight First‚ start by measuring your own weight. Check to ensure that your scale is on an even surface before stepping onto the scale. Record your weight‚ and make sure to write down the precise tenth of a pound. Since cats are much smaller and lighter than people‚ it’s worth paying attention to fluctuations that are less than a pound. Measure your weight one or two more times to ensure your scale is giving accurate and consistent readings. Image Credit: Andrey_Popov‚ Shutterstock 2. Pick Up Your Cat and Measure Combined Weight Next‚ gently pick up and hold your cat. Then‚ step on the scale again and record your combined weight. You can do this a couple of times to ensure you’re getting consistent readings from your scale. 3. Subtract Your Body Weight from Your Combined Weight Next‚ subtract your body weight from your combined weight. The remainder is your cat’s weight. For example‚ if your body weight is 150.5 pounds‚ and your combined weight with your cat is 157.2 pounds‚ your cat’s weight is 6.7 pounds. Write down your cat’s weight in a log. You can measure your cat’s weight once a week at the most‚ and it’s recommended to measure your cat at least once a month if they’re on a weight loss plan. Keeping a log will help you to notice patterns of weight loss or weight gain much more quickly. Image Credit: Lightspruch‚ Shutterstock 4. Use a Carrier if Your Cat Doesn’t Like Being Held If your cat doesn’t sit still on a pet scale or really doesn’t like being held‚ you can try using a carrier to hold your cat while they’re being weighed. If you choose this method‚ it’s best to use a hanging scale for the most accurate measurements. Hang the empty carrier on the scale’s hook and record its weight measurement. Then‚ place your cat inside and weigh the carrier again. Subtract the weight of the empty carrier from the combined weight of the carrier and your cat. The remainder will be your cat’s weight. 5. Make Sure to Reward Your Cat Give your cat plenty of praise immediately after you measure their weight‚ every time. If they’re not needing to lose weight‚ give them a couple of their favorite treats‚ too. Rewarding your cat will eventually build a positive association with weigh-ins‚ and it’ll make this process much easier for both of you. Image Credit: Nikola Cedikova‚ Shutterstock Benefits of Weighing Your Cat Your cat’s weight and weight fluctuations can tell you a lot about your cat. First‚ keeping track of your cat’s weight can help you determine if your cat’s eating too little or too much food. Cats can also start to lose weight due to other health issues that are unrelated to not eating enough. Weight loss can be a sign of a greater underlying medical issue. Intestinal parasites‚ diabetes‚ hyperthyroidism‚ cancer‚ heart disease and kidney disease can all cause weight loss in cats. Recording your cat’s weight can help you detect potential health issues more quickly. Significant or rapid weight gain can put your cat at high risk of developing health issues‚ and it’s fairly common for indoor cats to become overweight. Nearly 60% of pet cats are overweight. Feline obesity can lower a cat’s quality of life significantly. It can shorten their life expectancy‚ and obese cats often have mobility issues that make it difficult for them to move around independently. Obesity increases the risk of cancer‚ diabetes‚ heart disease‚ and urinary bladder stones. It is also thought to weaken a cat’s ability to fight off infectious diseases. Regularly weighing an overweight cat ensures that they’re losing weight at a healthy rate. In general‚ cats on weight loss plans should lose between 1-2% of their body weight every week. Anything more can be dangerous‚ and rapid weight loss of a previously obese cat can lead to a serious liver condition called hepatic lipidosis. Conclusion Weighing your cat regularly can give you peace of mind in knowing that your cat has healthy eating habits. Since weight loss and weight gain are often indicators of certain illnesses‚ weighing your cat can also help you detect health issues much more quickly. There are several different methods for weighing cats. Once you find one that works‚ stick to it‚ and make sure to reward your cat after every weigh-in. Adding weigh-ins to your cat’s care routine is a simple way to keep your cat’s health in check‚ and it will help you respond more quickly to any potential health issues.

Mike Johnson‚ Warning of Global Threats to Religious Freedom‚ Urges Biden to Protect Uyghurs

House Speaker Mike Johnson‚ R-La.‚ urged the Biden administration Wednesday to take stronger action against the Chinese Communist Party as the ruling government’s treatment of a minority group‚ the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs‚ continues to invite allegations of genocide‚ human rights violations‚ and religious hostility.  Johnson addressed a crowd gathered at the annual International Religious Freedom Summit in the nation’s capital‚ highlighting his background as a religious freedom litigator and discussing threats to religious liberty worldwide.  “North Korea’s Kim Jong-un‚ for example‚ continues to exercise a dark influence in denying all freedoms to his people‚ especially religious freedom‚” Johnson‚ 52‚ said. “The regime in Myanmar continues to engage in genocidal attacks against the Rohingya Muslims. In Nigeria‚ Christians and minority Muslims are attacked and killed by mobs of terrorists‚” the Louisiana Republican said. “Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua and Miguel Diaz-Canel in Cuba hunt down and imprison Catholic priests and Baptist pastors who simply preach the Gospel and speak out against the regime.” But Johnson singled out the Chinese Communist Party’s religious freedom violations‚ noting: “Tibetan Buddhists and Falun Gong practitioners are placed in forced labor camps‚ and they have their organs harvested by the Chinese Communist Party.” The House speaker detailed how “in the Uyghur Autonomous Region‚ Uyghur Muslims are suffering under the Chinese Communist Party’s genocidal campaign of forced sterilization‚ forced detention‚ and re-education.” “Millions of Uyghurs have been detained in these camps where they’re kept in cramped cells‚ and they’re tortured and brainwashed‚” Johnson added. “At this moment‚ the U.S. has an opportunity and an obligation to prevent genocide and punish those who commit it.” After the crowd erupted into applause‚ Johnson issued a plea to the White House: “As China makes its forced labor efforts harder to detect‚ we call on the Biden administration to fully enforce the letter and the spirit of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.” “This should not be a partisan issue‚” he said. “We should all be united on this. It’s who we are as Americans. And we must use all of our resources to prevent American involvement in Uyghur genocide.” The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act‚ signed into law by President Joe Biden in December 2021‚ was approved by the Senate in a unanimous vote in July 2021 and then by the House in a 428-1 vote in December 2021.  The law established that the policy of the U.S. is to “prohibit the import of all goods‚ wares‚ articles‚ or merchandise mined‚ produced‚ or manufactured‚ wholly or in part‚ by forced labor from the People’s Republic of China and particularly any such goods‚ wares‚ articles‚ or merchandise produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.” Additionally‚ Johnson shared his belief that a direct connection exists between treatment of religious minorities in the cited countries and lack of opportunity for their citizens. “All these countries‚ some of the most repressive in the world‚ also have the least to offer their citizens in terms of economic prosperity and social mobility‚” Johnson said. “And that’s no surprise because if you’re going to restrict and torment people for their religious beliefs‚ it’s going to be a tyrannical regime.” “Economic prosperity grows when the people are allowed to follow their faith. Freedom flourishes where freedom is allowed‚” he said. Ryan Foley is a reporter at The Christian Post. This report originally was published by The Washington Stand Have an opinion about this article?

It Took 22 Minutes for Revolt After High School Put Tampon Dispenser In Boys Restroom

It only took roughly 20 minutes for a tampon dispenser in a boy’s restroom at Brookfield High School in Brookfield‚ Connecticut‚ to be torn down‚ according to a report from CT Insider. Principal Marc Balanda sent an email out to students and their families on Jan. 24 and explained that the new dispenser had been torn down and basically destroyed in less than 25 minutes‚ according to CT Insider. Balanda called the incident “disgusting” and an “egregious instance of vandalism and destruction of property” in the email with a subject line that read “I am feeling ‘dis-’ right now.” “A dispenser with menstrual products was installed in the boy’s bathroom near the [main office]‚” Balanda wrote. “The installation was completed at 9:30 (a.m.). By 9:52 (a.m.)‚ tampons were on the floor‚ the newly installed distribution box was ripped off the wall along with the masonry anchors‚ and the distribution box itself was destroyed.” The dispenser was put in place in compliance with a law passed in 2022  and set to go into effect on Sept. 1 of this year that requires all schools from grades three to 12 to put menstrual dispensers in female restrooms and at least one male restroom‚ according to the text. Some who supported the bill argued that “menstruating individuals” shouldn’t have to choose between their period and going to school‚ according to the CT Mirror. Balanda chastised the individuals responsible‚ calling them “boys‚” not “men‚” CT Insider reported. “Ask for more information. Use your words to start a dialogue rather than using your hands to destroy something. In this particular instance‚ if you have questions‚ please let me know‚” Balanda wrote in the email. Brookfield Schools Superintendent John Barile said that the situation had been handled‚ but did not answer questions about how many students were involved and what kind of discipline they would receive‚ according to CT Insider. He also explained that police were not called‚ since it was just vandalism‚ but noted that “the school is seeking restitution.” Balanda did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
