How Much Dry Food Should I Feed My Overweight Cat?
Answer

Normally, the weight of the average domestic cat is approximately around eight to nine pounds. The veterinarian usually recommends medicine and the composition of the catโ€™s nutritional diet, according to the degree of the catโ€™s obesity. There can be many reasons behind the catโ€™s overweight. Some of the reasons for your pet being overweight can be diabetes or high cholesterol percentage in your cat, overconsumption of food, intake of oily or junk food, and presence of certain parasitic organisms inside your petโ€™s body. For overweight cats, the veterinarians generally recommend the pet to eat two-pound less food that is approximately forty calories less than its daily consumption. This quantity can get readjusted by the veterinarian if the pet loses some of its weight after some time. This process continues until the weight of the cat hits the healthy mark and eventually maintains this weight.
