Insufficient exercise and neutering are factors that can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Most cats weigh between 3.5 and 5 kg. You can monitor whether your cat is gaining excess weight by paying careful attention when you groom or pet him/her. You should be able to lightly feel their ribs and spine, but if the stomach looks like it has grown or the cat has a hanging stomach, it's time to take action. Excess weight can increase the risk of diseases such as diabetes, skin problems, urinary stones, and joint problems.
For a cat to stay slender, it's important that its diet contains plenty of fibre, which not only helps with digestion, but can make your cat feel full more quickly. Psyllium shells and apple pectin are a particularly effective team and when they work in combination they can help to make your cat feel full more quickly, so that it does not over-eat. With Royal Canin Pure Feline Slimness cat food, not only are your cat's nutritional needs satisfied, but your pet also receives active plant-based components that offer positive characteristics. The consideration of feline needs combined with a substantial knowledge of active plant-based components makes it possible to effectively apply these components in order to promote the health of the animal.
- Psyllium Seeds and Seed Shells: the shell of the psyllium seed is particularly rich in fibrils. These soluble fibres can absorb their weight in water multiple times over and create a gooey type of gel. Thanks to this characteristic, the stomach empties slower creating a feeling of fullness.
- Apple Pectin: the pectin won from apple cores bonds approx. 20 times more water than bran. It accelerates the filling of the stomach and slows the intestinal transit at the same time, which strongly checks your cat's appetite. Furthermore, since pectin is a fiber that can ferment, the digestion in the large intestine produces bacteria that provide the necessary energy for the cells of the intestinal mucosa.
