Pet Reiki by Karen Godson

When you own a pet it is crucial to be sure that you do what you have the ability to make sure that they are happy and healthy. Cats are some of the best pets because they are nearly self sufficient. They are able to take themselves to the bathroom without any assistance and will clean themselves.

This leaves little for us to have to worry about. In fact all we genuinely need to do is fill their food and water bowls, clean their litter box, and give them a bit of love. This makes it easy for everyone. Still there are some cats that may eat too much food every day. This might cause them to gain abnormal amounts of weight.

One of the last thing that you want is an overweight cat. While they may appear funny and a little adorable it is not healthy for them. It is up to you to make sure that they lose the weight and get into shape before they begin to have challenging health issues.

The easiest way to help them is to pull them off the couch and have them run around. Purchase a leash at your nearest pet store. It is so weird to see somebody walking their cat round the neighborhood - but it is one of the best exercises that they can get. Just be sure that you wash them once or twice each week to keep the fleas off of them.

Change out the food that they are eating. Be sure you give them foods that will promote the metabolism and give them healthy fats. Also you have to decrease the serving amounts that you are giving to them every day. That will make such a huge difference.

Attempt to find some great cat toys that they will enjoy to pass the time with. Find something that will have them running around. If they have cat nip inside of them than you will know that they will be running after everything that you throw at them.
