Leading veterinary surgeon, Dr Eric Jackson, said that careless owners were usually behind a cat’s weight problem, adding: ‘Sadly, we’re encouraging a nation of overweight and pampered pets.
‘It is often said that pets “grow” to become more like their owners. Certainly it is unusual to see a very trim person come in to the surgery with a very overweight pet.
‘Like humans, obese dogs and cats lose confidence. Through no fault of their own, pets are being assigned to daytime TV rather than physical activity, which leads to depression in the long term.’
It's a myth that cats & dogs cannot get depressed. When they plunge into depression, they can even die. Take care of your pet as you take care of yourself. These are kids that never grow old. You have to be more responsible. Yeah fats cats look really cute...but still you have to be careful. This is just not right for your pet.
