hi i have a fat cat and i would like to know what foods to feed her?

Answer 1

The best thing to feed her is cat food. Don't give pets "table food" because their tummies don't do good digesting it and its very unhealthy for them. Just stick to cat food once or twice a day.

Answer 2

First, decide your pet’s target weight, that is, what it would weigh if it were the ideal size.
Cat and dog nutrition: Check your pet food. How much does the package say a pet at that target weight should receive?
Cat and dog nutrition: Measure to determine how much food you are giving now.
Cat and dog nutrition: If you’re feeding more than a pet at the target weight should receive, take a month’s time to gradually reduce the amount you’re feeding until you are offering what a pet at the target weight would receive. Sometimes it helps to use a smaller cup. Or, you might use the measuring cup you’ve always used and remove a spoonful and place it back in the bag. After a week, remove two spoonfuls. Proceed until your pet is losing weight.
Cat and dog nutrition: Put the proper amount of food in the bowl, leave it for 20 minutes, and then pick it up. Feed again in the evening. This is healthier for the pet because the food doesn’t lose its antioxidants while it’s sitting in the bowl.
Cat and dog nutrition: If you’re feeding the target amount for your pet’s ideal weight and it is still overweight, stop all treats like biscuits. Instead give nonfattening treats such as Greenies, celery, green beans, peas, apples, pineapple, grapes, and Freeze Dried Liver Dog Treats. But remember, that’s one grape occasionally; one slice of apple occasionally; a couple peas; one green bean….
Weigh your pet once a month, and write the weight on the calendar. If you’re doing a good job and your pet is losing weight, congratulate yourself for helping your pet be more comfortable and live longer. Take pictures of your success.

If your pet is not losing weight, don’t despair:
Feed twice a day rather than once a day. Feed 2/3 of the pet’s ration in the morning and only 1/3 of the ration at night. Pets appear to be less hungry if their food is divided into two meals, and they gain less weight if the majority of their food is served in the morning rather than at night.
Switch to a raw foods or homemade diet. Get a veterinarian’s help, and make the switch gradually. The food may be raw, but don’t feed it cold. The meal should be body temperature because pets evolved eating warm prey. Pets on raw or homemade diets that are higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates tend to develop a more ideal body weight.
Use a smaller feeding bowl, and a bigger water bowl.

Answer 3

If you have a fat cat, it is because you are feeding it dry food and/or food high in carbohydrates. Stop feeding it packaged food and table snacks. If you're feeding it canned food, read the ingredients. I'm sure you'll find it's high in carbs. You're cat is a carnivore. It's a meat eater. It will eat grass and other plants if allowed to and given access to them. But it's body was not designed for carbohydrates ingestion. Cut out the carbs completely and let the car graze in the yard or a park as often as it wants to. It will lose weight. You can buy hamburger and feed that to your cat uncooked. Any kind of uncooked meat and grazing is all your cat needs. Stop with the prepackaged stuff.

Answer 4

For one thing, you need to feed her a high quality cat food. If she is under a year then she shouldn't be put on a calorie reduced diet but if she is then she can. You can also try to cut back the amount that you feed her. No people food. Put her on a feeding schedule and stick to it. Try to increase her exercise by supplying lots of toys for her to play with. She should also be checked by a vet to make sure she is ok health wise because fat cats have an increased chance of diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, arthritis etc. Poor Kitty! Do NOT feed her uncooked Meat!!!!!

Answer 5

Quietwalker is correct. Cats are one of the few TRUE carnivores. Dogs are actually omnivores.

Check with your vet to make sure there are no thyroid problems contributing to weight gain. Stop giving your cat carbohydrates that is running rampant in wet and dry cat food.

My cat was huge. She's a lot thinner and eats every couple of days or so and strips a chicken drumstick down to the bone. My other cat will not eat raw. He will eat cooked (not the best due to loss of amino acids in cooking) but better than commercial cat food.

Please make an informed choice which is not always the choice that's en vogue.

Answer 6

Get her a diet cat food like Iams Weight Control. go by the recommended daily amounts on the back of the bag. Don't give her any treats. Just the food, and lots of fresh water.

get her some kitty toys and play with her so she loses weight!

Answer 7

I take it she is an indoor cat and probably not very active? How old is she? I feed my 10-year old cat Purina Indoor cat chow. She loves it. I also give her 1 package of moist food in the morning. I give her Whiskas tuna.

Answer 8

Please ask you Vet before you switch. Our Vet recommends Hill's Science Diet, but it is a little pricey. Keep in mind that you need to switch foods slowly so your cat's stomach can adjust to the new food. Buy good scratching posts for her exercise on and try to get her to chase things around.
