According to a survey, 57% of the cat population is overweight. A little extra weight can lead to serious health problems. With extra weight, play time is reduced, mobility is effected and the general health of your cat is also affected. Factors contributing to weight gain include age, lack of exercise and overfeeding. Along with frequent physical exercise, choosing the right food plays a very important role in helping cats reach their proper weight.
