Most Common Health Conditions In Cats

Obesity

Veterinarians define feline obesity as being twenty percent or more overweight. It's a common but serious disorder with far-reaching consequences. On average, overweight cats have shorter lives and more health problems. For example, weighing too much increases a cat's risk of developing cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. They may have joint problems or frequent urinary tract issues. Treatment typically involves restricting your cat's food intake and increasing the amount of exercise they get. It's important to do this under the guidance and supervision of a veterinarian, as cats losing weight too quickly can cause hepatic lipidosis, a liver condition that is often fatal.
