Baby
my rescued socialized Manx cat is obese and needs to go on a diet.
Know that the Manx cat breed is generally a bigger cat. But when you
cannot locate their ribs due to the layer of fat then it is time for
a diet.
This is not Baby but is a good photo of Manx cat...see there is NO tail |
So
Baby has to shed some pounds and we can no longer feed him Rachel Ray
grain free food, because it is dry kibble and high in carbohydrates,
plus there is not enough fluid in dry foods. So I am feeding all of our cats Friskees
Special diet turkey and giblets canned food, because this food provides a balanced died that is low in carbs.
So the cat diet started today and it is not a FUN day for Baby.
My obese cat ate a half a can of the turkey food this morning and I will feed him the other half
tonight. Know that this cat likes to eat and is acting like he is
starving to death. Today
my cat had more activity due to the pacing and begging for food.
That first day will be the hardest since my cat is used to
getting temptations catnip treats in the afternoon and well he cannot
have treats. My
veterinarian thinks that my cat is eating out of habit, and not
because he is hungry. I will let you know in a week how Baby
does with his diet.
