When it comes to orange cats, many people's first reaction is “chubby, lazy, love to eat, and sleepy”, and even the network also circulated a phrase: “ten orange cats nine fat, there is a huge fat.” Is this a coincidence, or is it really based on science? Today, we will unveil the secrets of the orange cat easy to get fat!

The genes determine its “eat and do not move” life

Orange cats are not a breed, but the type of coat color of cats. Most of the orange cats' genetic type is male, and many belong to the American shorthair cat, British shorthair cat, Chinese garden cat, and other breeds. These breeds generally have a strong appetite and, low desire for exercise. In other words, orange cats love to eat, love to sleep, and do not love to move too much, which has laid the genetic foundation for “getting fat”.

"Strong desire to survive, orange cat's stomach is a bottomless pit?

A lot of people found that the orange cat at home seems to come with a “meal reminder”. As soon as you hear the bag ringing, you rush to rub it, the smell of canned food is like hanging. This is also a reflection of the character of the orange cat - bold, not picky eaters, adaptability, these “can eat, dare to eat, do not mind” qualities, unknowingly let the weight day by day quietly rise.

Owner spoiled, obesity aggravated

Of course, there is a part of the “pot” to be backed by our shoveling officer. Orange cats are easy to get more love and snacks because of their simple and lovely character. When you can't help but feed it several times a day, and give it small dried fish or cat strips all year round, the calorie intake of the cat far exceeds its consumption every day, thus accelerating the process of “rounding”.

If your orange cat is an outdoor/semi-outdoor cat, it is important to protect it from the heat. Fat cats are more prone to heatstroke, so you can use an ice pack or set up a well-ventilated outdoor cat house to keep them cool and comfortable in the hot summer.

How to prevent orange cats from getting fat?

Don't let fat become a burden. Moderate diet control, regular exercise with the cat, and not changing food frequently (to avoid picky eating) are good ways to manage the cat's weight. If your orange cat is already a bit “overweight”, try using a cat teaser or cat climbing frame to induce it to exercise, and choose low-fat staple food to adjust gradually.
