Overweight cats experience obesity the same way humans do. They are uncomfortable, have difficulty breathing, and find it hard to be active. If you reduce the amount of food your cat normally eats, he will decide to fend for himself. Scavenging for food can be bad for his health, especially if he gets into the wrong thing, such as rotting food from garbage cans. The best way to help manage kitty's weight is to give him a reducing diet that is low in calories without sacrificing nutrition.
Below is a recipe that is low in carbohydrates and fats. It provides a good supply of vitamins, minerals, and protein and is suitable for cats that have, or have a history of, UTI (urinary tract infections).
