2024 - Does your cat want to eat all the time? We have the solution

Does your cat spend his time eating? This can be corrected, so that he does not gain too much weight. Here are tips that are easy to implement.

Obesity is increasing in domestic animals, in particular cats. However, too much weight is harmful for our four-legged friends: it increases the risk of disease, decreases exercise tolerance, can lead to grooming difficulties … Eating too much and / or too quickly can be caused by many factors, the result being that a gluttonous feline will certainly gain weight. How to successfully regulate your appetite? Here are 5 simple tips.

Give zucchini to your cat

Astonishing but true: your cat can eat vegetables to regulate his weight! To get used to it, you can start gradually, with small amounts to mix with the usual diet. Dice the vegetables and repeat the process until your cat eats them. Adults, cats used to zucchini eat 50 to 100 grams, the most greedy up to 150 grams per day! The amount of courgette added is to be deducted from the ration of mash or croquettes.

Changing your cat’s brand of kibble

Some croquettes are too fatty in composition. These fats represent poor quality nutritional intake, quickly metabolized by your cat, without giving him a lasting feeling of satiety. So be sure to adapt the quality of the kibble to the health of your cat (if he is elderly, diabetic, kitten …) and ask your veterinarian for advice! Also be sure to alternate the croquettes with wet food, pie style.

Place the cat’s food in a food toy

These toys “release” kibble when your cat rolls them. This keeps the felines busy, stimulates them by imitating hunting, and helps ward off boredom, which causes behavioral disturbances in animals. It also slows down the rate of kibble consumption. This toy is therefore very useful against gluttony.
