WASHINGTON, July 17, 2014 â Driven by increased demand for electronic items and parentsâ need to restock their childrenâs school supplies from last year, families this summer will spend slightly more on back-to-school items than last year.
If youâre still not sure, or you think you might have an overweight cat, have a chat with your vet. Itâs important to speak to them before you make any changes to your catâs diet if you think they are overweight, as their weight gain could be caused by an underlying illness, rather than an over-active appetite.
Unfortunately, a cat losing weight is often a sick cat, and this key cat illness symptom is easy for many pet parents to miss. Your cat, when healthy, will normally weigh the same year after year, except for those who gain weight. Good feline care includes knowing what a normal cat weight is for your feline and taking action when any cat weight loss occurs. Many cat illnesses have weight loss as one of the primary symptoms. I have examined thousands of cats over the last 20 years and I have seen healthy cats come in year after year weighing the same, almost to the ounce.
