Feline obesity is apparently a huge concern in North America. Many cat owners are facing problems with their overweight pets. According to statistics, roughly 60 percent of America’s cats are overweight and 30 percent fall into the obese category.
A cat that is overweight or obese - both conditions are equally bad according to the experts - is at higher risk from a range of health issues. Overweight cats are prone to diabetes, kidney problems, hip and joint problems. Some fat cats even have problems using the litter box!
If your cat is overweight or heading in that direction, the information in this article may help you get your cat back into shape.
Diet is one of the main reasons why cats put on weight. Owners believe quite wrongly of course in showing their love by feeding a cat cheese and milk. Both are rich dairy products. Here is the math on this subject – if a cat weighs ten pounds at one ounce of cheese it is the equivalent of eating 3.5 hamburgers and 5 bars of chocolate! Staggering! Scary really!
Human food is not meant for cats so avoid the temptation and killing your pet with kindness in the process. Obesity can also start with a cat being fed a low grade cat food brand. Most grocery store brands are very low grade, full or grains and vegetables and no real meat. Now cats are meat eaters and they need meat to survive. Grains and vegetables quite simply do not provide a cat with the nutrients it requires. Grains are nothing but carbohydrates that serve only one purpose – to pack on the pounds!
If the damage has already been done and your cat is overweight, you need to feed it a light, low calorie diet. Talk to your vet; take the cat in for a checkup and seek advice on the best diet plan for your cat. There are some very good high quality diet foods available at pet specialty stores. These special foods will be expensive, but in the interest of your cat’s health, well worth the investment.
As with humans, cats need exercise to knock off those extra pounds. Go out and buy a bunch of toys that move and make noises. This will encourage your cat to chase after the toys. Get toys that crinkle and try the ones with catnip or honeysuckle – that should get your pet going. Play hide and seek with your cat and drag a ball of yarn around the house getting your cat to chase it. A healthy cat means you have your pet with you for a longer time.

Special Dinner for Your Cats
(good for cats with diabetes or kidney problems)
1 egg
1 tablespoon minced, cooked green beans
1 teaspoon shredded carrot (if you substitute other vegetables, avoid
the ones with a lot of natural sugars)
2 tablespoons baked chicken breast (no skin) minced
1/3 cup cooked brown rice (unrefined; wild rice is good)
1 tablespoon olive oil (good for preventing hair balls and constipation -
common to diabetics)
Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly with a wooden spoon or in a blender/food processor.
It's important to get the rice mixed in well so that it can't be picked out.
(Diabetics need fiber and cats with kidney failure problems need to limit their protein intake so this serves two purposes.)
Cook in a small Pyrex skillet over low heat, stirring and "chopping" constantly, until the egg is at least soft-set but done.
Refrigerate in air-tight containers, such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid, or Zip-Lock baggies.
Use within 36 hours (refrigerated).
Stores well in the freezer in Zip-Lock baggies and can be thawed and warmed simultaneously in boiling water in the bag.

Tuna for your cats
Pet food recipes
TUNA PATTIES
1 can tuna
1/2 cup boiled rice
1/4 cup pureed liver
2-3 sprigs parsley chopped
Drain the tuna and mix everything together. Make 6-7 balls and then pat them into patties. Store in the fridge and serve to your cat. This is one cat treat recipe that your feline friend won't be finicky about.
TUNA POPS
Drain liquid from tuna packed in spring water. Freeze liquid in small ice cube trays (cocktail ice cube trays work nicely, as well as little square pill boxes available at most drug stores - only fill these half full). Give no more than 2 cubes at 1 time as a treat. Reuse your can of drained tuna by placing in it an airtight container and covering with filtered water overnight for a second batch of tuna-pop water.
TUNA TREATS
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup nonfat, dry, powdered milk
1/2 can tuna, in oil
OR 1/2 cup cooked chicken, chopped into small pieces
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil OR cod liver oil
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup water
Catnip (Optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease cookie sheets with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mash the tuna(or chicken)into smaller pieces. Then add flour and milk. Mix well. After all is mixed pour in water and oil. Mix well again. Now, beat egg in a separate dish until egg gets a foamy texture. Add to mix. Mix well. The dough mix will be sticky, so don’t worry. Using your fingers shape dough into small bite size balls, about the size of a marble. Put balls on greased cookie sheets. Flatten.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove treats from oven wait five minutes and turn treats over so other side will cook. Bake 10 more minutes or until golden brown in color. Place treats on cookie rack to cool. Cool for 15 minutes.

Cat Food : CAT JELLY
3 cups chicken broth
4-1/2 tbl flour
1/4 cup carrots --diced into small cubes
3/4 cup minced meat (cooked) pieces of fish- optional, but it would be better to use this (COOKED)
After the chicken broth has been made, allow it too cool for around 2 minutes. Add all the flour and mix. Some flour might not dissolve but this is absolutely no problem (It will when you heat the mixture later on). Heat broth and flour mixture on high heat until a thick creamy mixture is formed.
