British Shorthairs and Obesity

 

If you own a cat or have owned a cat, then you’re probably familiar with a cat’s eating habits. Some cats like to eat their meals plus treats and snack in between. There’s nothing wrong with this unless your cat is eating too much. It’s important to be mindful of what you’re feeding your British Shorthair in order to prevent extra snacks turning into extra pounds or even extreme weight gain. Your vet can weigh your cat and let you know if his weight is low, high, or average. You can also do a quick check at home, although it will not be a professional analysis. As a general rule, if you can easily see or feel the British Shorthair’s rib bones then he is too thin. If you cannot feel the rib bones beneath a layer of fat then he may be overweight.
