Vet says to keep my fat cat fat.

Hey there! It sounds like you received some interesting advice about your furry friend. While keeping your cat healthy is the goal, the idea of keeping a "fat" cat isn’t generally recommended, as extra weight can lead to various health issues over time. However, there may be specific medical reasons your vet suggested maintaining your cat’s current weight.



It's possible your cat might have a condition where weight loss could be harmful, like certain heart or metabolic disorders. Without knowing the full context, I would initially focus on ensuring your cat has a balanced diet and the right amount of exercise as advised by your vet.



You can support your cat at home by encouraging moderate play, which helps maintain muscle tone and alleviate boredom. Watch for any signs of distress such as difficulty breathing, decreased mobility, or a sudden change in eating or litter habits—they could indicate that your cat’s weight is affecting its health and would need reevaluation.



To better understand the advice given and to ensure your feline friend stays fit and happy, I’d recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets. We can discuss your cat's specific situation more thoroughly and provide tailored advice. Your cat’s health is what matters most, and we’re here to help you both every step of the way!
