Diabetes is one of the most common cat diseases that go undetected. Many cats only stay indoors, which can prevent them from getting the exercise that they need. And when their diet is not monitored properly, this can lead to feline diabetes.
Here are the things that you can do to prevent this
from happening:
1. Monitor the weight of your cat.
Did you know that about 58% of cats are overweight?
With a lack of exercise and improper portioning of food, cats can gain weight
fast. It’s a good idea to weigh your cat regularly. Talk to your vets in
Kamloops about proper food portioning as well to ensure that you are feeding
your cat the appropriate amount.
2. Give your cat the right food.
Consult vets
in Kamloops BC about the right food to feed your cat. There is an array
of cat foods out there and choosing one can be quite confusing and
intimidating. Don’t just go with the most popular brand but rather, choose the
one with the nutritional benefits suitable for the breed or species of your
cat.
3. Make sure your cat gets a lot of exercise.
You can build your cats a catio to encourage outdoor
playtime or get a cat tower. Invest in toys that will allow you to bond with
your cat while encouraging her to play.
Also, get regular checkups. You can go to clinics like
The Cat Hospital of Kamloops to make sure that you are always on top of your
cat’s health.
