No, this isn’t a float from the Macy’s parade. It’s a 23 pound cat — heavier than most Thanksgiving turkeys.
Before sharing your Thanksgiving leftovers with your pampered pets, remember:
Overweight pets are a serious health issue today. About half of the nation’s companion animals — some 90 million cats and dogs — are tipping the scales, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention.
Like their owners, portly pets risk developing diseases like arthritis, diabetes, kidney and heart disease, high blood pressure and many forms of cancer.
The kitties thank you!
