Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, and while a little bit of Extra Chonk does make for a cute cat, we don't want it to get out of hand! Obesity in cats can lead to health issues like Diabetes, increased risk of urinary tract infection, worsening arthritis, grooming problems, and puts them at higher risk of developing Hepatic Lipidosis (AKA Fatty Liver) if they suddenly stop eating. Not sure where your cat falls on the Chonk Chart? Be sure to ask your vet about it at their next visit and see if you need to take steps to help get them to a better weight!
