Rovnako ako ľudia, aj zvieratá môžu mať problém s nadváhou. Zvieratá si však nevedia tak jednoducho pomôcť ako my a na ich chudnutie musia ich majitelia pozorne dozerať. Tak, ako bývajú očarujúce fotografie zmien, ako ľudia schudli, sú aj tieto, no s mačkami.

Možno ťa niektoré z nich inšpirujú, aby si aj ty robil niečo sám so sebou, prípadne budú určite skvelým príkladom, aby si sa o svoje zvieratko staral tak, ako treba. 

Aj mačky podliehajú kilečkám navyše

Za nadváhu domácich zvierat sú však zodpovední zvyčajne ich majitelia, keďže oni majú kontrolu nad tým, čo ich zvieratká doma jedia a koľko. Hlavne po kastrácii majú domáci miláčikovia tendenciu priberať, preto by sme mali dbať na ich správnu výživu a ak je to možné, aj pohyb.

Občas sa stane, že sa nám to vymkne spod kontroly a spamätáme sa až vtedy, keď sú zvieratá obézne. Potom prichádza čas na chudnutie. Tak, ako to nie je jednoduchý proces pre nás ľudí, to nie je jednoduché ani pre mačky či iné domáce zvieratká. Obezita však môže, tak ako pri ľuďoch, spôsobiť mačkám cukrovku, zvýšený krvný tlak a mnohé zdravotné problémy.

Zodpovednosť majiteľov zvierat nie je len o tom, či ich kŕmia a venčia, ale aj o tom či ich kŕmia tak, ako majú, a dohliadajú na zdravie svojich zvierat. Keďže domáce zvieratá sú odkázané na našu pomoc, musia sa aj s takým niečím, ako je obezita, spoľahnúť na svojich majiteľov.

Mačky, ktoré prešli veľkou zmenou

Tieto mačky môžu byť šťastné, lebo sa tak stalo a ich majitelia im pomohli zhodiť nadbytočné kilá. Keď uvidíš niektoré z obrázkov mačiek, ako vyzerali predtým a potom, až sa ti nebude chcieť veriť, že mačky dokážu byť natoľko obézne. Pri pohľade na obrázky po schudnutí sa ti však zlepší nálada.

It's time for a different kind of #TransformationTuesday cat edition. Logan here has had urethra blockages for years and had to go on a special prescription diet that bulked him up to almost 21 lbs. Now after being on @hillspet science diet metabolic urinary food for a few years, he's down to a slim 15 lbs! He went from being a lazy, lethargic cat to a playful, spry troublemaker. Love my fur babies so much ?? #catsofinstagram #CatWeightLoss

Bronson’s 2 year Anniversary!!!… was yesterday. . . He’s gone from 33lbs (15kg) all the way down to a svelte 20lbs (9kg). His weight might be closer to 20.1lbs but it’s his birthday, so we’re calling it 20. This month he lost a total of .6lbs (272g) . . Over the last two years, his energy level and confidence have come up drastically. His first 6 months were made up of him only coming out to eat, then hiding under the couch between meals. It’s been so nice seeing him out and about and at times being social with the other cats. Huge thanks to everybody that’s been following his weight loss and cheering him on along the way! . . Sorry we’ve been so bad at keeping up with Bronson’s account lately. Megan and I have a small business and ever since the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve been working pretty much nonstop to make sure things are continuing to operate without the help of our team at the shop. Thankfully, we only do only online sales, so the two of us are able to quarantine in our shipping department and avoid any contact with others. Our hearts go out to everybody struggling with everything going on. . . PS We’re doing a giveaway in the next few days for Bronson patterned face masks!

Mama was a stray cat who found us about 5 years ago. ? She was a very overweight cat. She never jumped on counters or tables because she couldn't. ? Even in animals diet is key. ? I took my cats off of dry food completely. (NO CARBS) I now use Tiki cat or Soulistic canned food. It makes a difference what we feed our animals. Even skin allergies have resolved. ? P.S. She can jump now too!!!! ?? #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #catweight #catweightloss #jump #change #cannedcatfood #tikicat #soulistic #catfood #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #lose #orangecat #orangetabby #tabbycat
