With more than 60% of cats in the US being obese, this is a growing problem that pet owners should take seriously – especially as it can significantly reduce a cat's lifespan by up to 10 years. Sometimes, our feline friends just don't know how to say no to the best cat food or best cat treats, leading to overfeeding by well-meaning owners.
