Answer 2

Here is a website on why you should really NOT let your cat become fat like you see other cats become fat: http://www.suevet.com/petEd/ThatFatCat.html
As a veterinarian I often hear people announcing with pride that their cat is huge, weighing in at 25 pounds, etc. Since even the largest cat, when lean, weighs no more than 17 pounds (and that would be a huge cat!), I am certain that the 25 pounder is not big, but obese. The average female cat weighs from 7-9 pounds, and the average male from 8-13 pounds.
Most humans know that obesity is not healthy for the heart, and can also make individuals more prone to diabetes. These things are just as true for the cat. What most humans don't realize is that the cat is one of a small group of species that commonly develops a serious liver disorder from being overweight. This disorder, called hepatic lipidosis or "fatty liver disease" makes the human's little problems with obesity look mild. It is common, life-threatening, difficult and expensive to treat, and is quite frankly, a frightening way for caring owners to learn that letting your cat expand its waistline is not kind.

WHAT IS FATTY LIVER DISEASE? Unlike some species, when a cat deposits fat stores in the body, fat cells are placed within liver cells as well. The liver is a critical organ in processing energy, and plays a big role in mobilizing fat to usable calories in times of fasting. When liver cells become laden with fat globules, they lose the ability to communicate with one another. Since the liver is a huge organ made up of millions of cells, without teamwork between the cells, the organ cannot function. The process of fat deposition and damaged function is underway long before the big crash occurs and a cat gets ill. It starts at the same time that other fat is being put down in the abdomen, tissues under the skin, and chest. Yet, as all this fat is over-running the liver, this organ's amazing ability to compensate for problems makes owners think all is well with their happy cat. Some cats have severe disease before illness occurs, and as liver transplants are not feasible, many cats die (because getting fat OUT of the liver is so much harder and slower than putting fat IN). Other cats can be managed by placing a feeding tube and having owners feed a liquid diet through the tube for several weeks. Some, (the lucky ones), will respond to appetite stimulants, fluid therapy, and medications.

Although some cats will get jaundiced (develop a yellow skin color from waste in the blood) or begin vomiting, most cats with fatty liver disease begin by becoming anorexic (loss of appetite). Many owners have heard the fat cat lecture from their veterinarian, and are pleased that their overweight cat has finally curbed its appetite and is dropping some pounds. As the owners wait, what is occurring in the liver is making things worse. The liver is responsible for mobilizing fat into calories when meals are missed, so with each missed meal, the liver receives more fat cells to process, and faces a bigger workload and more fat in its cells. It becomes a huge "snowball effect" that is more difficult to halt with each passing day. The last signs of fatty liver disease are essentially the result of liver failure, which allows the toxins and wastes that the liver is supposed to clear from the body to accumulate in the blood. This can cause a generalized illness affecting every aspect of life; some animals present with mental depression and seizures, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and jaundice. This is why IT IS CRITICAL THAT OBESE CATS DO NOT MISS MEALS! Even a tiny cold or the stress of visitors can begin a crisis. Owners of heavy cats should seek veterinary help immediately if their cat is eating nothing in a day! The veterinarian may have to prescribe appetite stimulants or tube feed your cat until the cold, company, etc. is past.

There is more to read on the website. Don't let your cat become unhealthy.

Answer 3

What kind of question is this?! I hope that you are not serious! Attempting to make your cat overweight is a form of animal cruelty. Overweight felines have numerous health problems, some of which lead to death. I suggest that you turn your attentions to something a little more productive and be grateful that you have a healthy cat!

Answer 4

please dont over feed your cat, its a serious health risk to the cat, not to mention exptremely cruel, how would you like it if someone tied you down and continuously fed you till got enormous, then you had a lot of health risks..you wouldnt be happy, leave the poor cat alone

Answer 5

Perhaps you shouldn't have a cat if that is what you want to do to it.

How would you like it if someone tried to make you obese? or perhaps you already are and just want some company.

Answer 6

Hello Red,
I don't think you should do this to your cat, it will cause him health problems and he will become an ill and depressed cat.

Answer 7

if you're in the uk, overfeeding your cat to get it fat is illegal and could result in a fine / jail sentence... and is somewhat cruel - cats aren't supposed to get fat. so how about not killing it with overfeeding and let it carry on as it is?

Answer 8

If you care about your cat you dont want him to get fat.

Answer 9

doing that will result in more problems down the line and more expencive vet bills and you will probably have to have him on medication. it's just not worth it

Answer 10

Why risk an animal's health like that?
