A majority of household cats are obese! While some pet owners see their obese cats as "fat and happy," obesity can have very serious health consequences and significantly reduce quality of life and even shorten the lives of our beloved felines.

In this episode, Dr. Roger discusses the feline obesity epidemic, potential health consequences of feline obesity, how to prevent obesity, and how to cure obesity if cats are already overweight.
