Exercise prevents obesity (affecting 40% of European cats), builds muscle/joint health, reduces stress, and satisfies instincts. Pair daily activity with Pro Nutrition’s scientifically formulated cat food for optimal weight, vitality, and longevity.
The Feline Obesity Crisis
Nearly 40% of European cats are overweight or obese. Overweight kittens often become overweight adults, facing higher risks of diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. Proactive weight management through exercise and tailored nutrition is essential.
Why Exercise is Non-Negotiable
Beyond weight control, exercise:
✅ Builds muscle/bone strength (critical for kittens and seniors).
✅ Reduces stress and boredom (key for indoor cats).
✅ Channels natural instincts (hunting, climbing, scratching).
✅ Boosts joint flexibility and lifelong mobility.
Tailored Exercise Strategies
1. For Outdoor Cats:
- Supervised outdoor access post-vaccination fuels natural exercise (roaming, hunting).
- Safety first: Cat-proof gardens, use microchip cat flaps, and start with short sessions.
- Nutritional need: Active cats require energy-dense fuel. Pro Nutrition Active Cat Formula supports high-energy lifestyles.
2. For Indoor Cats:
- Daily interactive play (20+ minutes): Use wand toys, laser pointers (end with a tangible reward!), or motorized toys to mimic prey.
- Environmental enrichment: Cat trees, scratching posts (tones muscles!), and puzzle feeders prevent boredom.
- Pro Tip: Rotate toys weekly to sustain interest.
- Nutritional need: Pro Nutrition Indoor Cat Formula manages calorie intake while supporting digestion.
