The American diet isn’t the healthiest diet in the world, which causes obesity among large numbers of Americans every year. Because so many Americans are overweight, they tend to overfeed their cats as well, making American cats just as obese as their owners.

They did this by gradually reducing each cat’s food intake for eight consecutive weeks. Not surprisingly, a healthy diet can lower a cat’s weight just like a similar healthy diet could lower a human’s weight.
