Ich persönlich würde das eher lassen.Ich bin ja kein Freund von herkömmlichen Diätfuttern, aber Caesar soll ja abspecken und nun Adipositas-Futter fressen.
Obesity:
Obesity is an extremely common and very serious health problem in cats. For instance, overweight cats are four times more likely to develop diabetes than cats that are at an optimal weight. Obese cats are also more prone to orthopedic problems and are often so overweight that they cannot even clean themselves properly. Obligate carnivores are designed to meet their energy needs with a high protein, moderate fat diet with little to no carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are minimally used for energy and those that are not used are converted to and stored as fat.
The so-called “light” diets that are on the market have targeted the fat content as the nutrient to be decreased. The choice is then to raise either the protein or carbohydrate content of the diet, or both.
Since protein (meat) is more expensive than carbohydrates (grains), pet food manufacturers raise the carbohydrate levels in these foods making them very species-inappropriate and unhealthy.
An optimal weight loss diet should be high in protein (over 40% of calories), moderate in fat (under 50% of calories), and low in carbohydrates (under 10% of calories). See the Merrick line of foods for examples of this type of profile.
Many cats on the commercial 'light' or 'less active' diets either do not lose weight or do lose weight but also lose muscle mass along with the loss of fat. This is not our goal. The goal is to lose fat while maintaining muscle mass.
In several studies, cats fed a high protein/ low carbohydrate diet lost weight but maintained their lean body mass in comparison to cats fed a high carbohydrate/low fat diet.
Many caretakers feed very small amounts of these "light" diets hoping that their cat will lose weight. However, feeding a small amount of a diet that is inappropriate for the species is not the answer! The caretaker often ends up with either a crabby, overweight cat or a thinner cat that may have lost too much muscle mass.
See Molly’s and Bennie’s story of weight loss on this site's Feline Obesity page to read about how these sweet cats went from inactive obese cats that could barely walk or clean themselves to healthier, happier felines.
Molly had great difficulty walking and cleaning herself due to her obese condition which was brought on by the consumption of dry food. Kittens, however, loved using her for a pillow.
Molly’s veterinarian had prescribed Hill's Prescription dry r/d for her and instructed her caretaker to feed Molly only very small portions - and to put a shock collar on her to keep her away from her housemates' food. This is obviously not sound - or humane - obesity management advice. Hill's Prescription r/d is a poor quality, high carbohydrate diet that contains 33 percent carbohydrates and the following - less than optimal - ingredients including a high level of fiber which a feline intestinal tract is not designed to process:
Chicken by-product meal, corn meal, powdered cellulose 18.5% (a source of fiber),corn gluten meal, chicken liver flavor, vegetable oil, taurine, L-carnitine, preserved with BHT, BHA and ethoxyquin
There are much healthier - and less expensive - ways to address feline obesity. However, if you are contemplating the use of the grain-free, high protein/low carb dry foods, please understand that these diets are very calorie-dense and often lead to weight gain, in addition to being detrimental to urinary tract health because of their water-depletion.

Dazu noch viele Bewegungsspiele... nach 6 Monaten war sie Normalgewichtig und fitt wie ein Turnschuh.
Da hattest Du aber nicht viel zum Abspecken..
Caesar muß mindestens 2 kg und das geht nicht in 6 Monaten..
Bewegung ist so ne Sache - er will ja schon, aber er kann nicht. Aber glücklicherweise spielt er gerne Dabird.😀
2 kg in 6 Monaten? Das ist ja gefährlich......Da würde ich einen Mordsärger mit meiner TÄ bekommen.
Da kann ja die Leber abpfeifen..😱
Aber gut, so schnell muß Caesar nicht abnehmen (zumal wir einen angekratzten Leberwert haben) - er ist ja auch ein Main-Coon - weissdergeier- Mix. Er soll langsam, aber konstant runter..
Im Moment sitzt er beleidigt im Fenster - so doll kann der Hunger also nicht sein..😀😀😀
Das nach "Futter laufen" muß Caesar erst noch lernen. kennt er nicht - er hat ja über 3 Jahre täglich einen riesen, vollen Trofunapf bekommen.. Warum sollte man also nach Futter rennen??
Hast du einen Laserpointer?🙂Danke..Peggy ist ja nun die "Vorzeigekatze" - zumindest was spielen anbetrifft..
Caesar mag nur den Dabird - nix anderes..Allerdings is er da nach 3 Minuten "platt" und dann spielt er im Liegen..🙄

Das ist schon ok .. sobald er abnimmt, wird er sich auch länger und mehr bewegen.Caesar mag nur den Dabird - nix anderes..Allerdings is er da nach 3 Minuten "platt" und dann spielt er im Liegen..🙄
