Dr. Adronie Verbrugghe is back, at last, with the second part of her excellent podcast about feline nutrition. We were talking about morphometric analysis of body condition, dexa-scanning and starting an obesity clinic. Adronie talks about how to weigh your cat and how to stimulate cates to work a bit harder to lose weight. We need to treat each cat as an individual and look at lifestyle and the cat’s personality. Is gradual calorie restriction the way to go or do we need to go full force? Adronie gives some great tips on how to deal with owners that have problems with getting their cat back to a normal weight. Did you know that you only need to let your cat lose 5% BW to see beneficial changes?
