Not only does extra weight put stress on joints and deter exercise, but obesity may also lead to increased risk of diabetes, arthritis and cancer. Check your cat's conformation to determine if he is too chubby. An obese pet has a rounder girth, a paunch on his underbelly and his ribs are buried.For more information, please read Obesity in Cats.
The primary causes of obesity in cats are overeating and lack of exercise. When regular caloric intake exceeds the energy burned, the excess is stored as fat on your cat.
