Have Fun with a Fat Cat

Some cats, especially indoor cats, can become fat, chubby, and/or lazy. Cats alone are fun enough, but fat cats are a bit more difficult to have fun with. A real-life over-sized cat will be used as an example.

Steps

 * 1) If your cat is lazy, you need to nurture them and love them despite their size. Don't ignore your cat just because they don't feel like chasing things. If anything, you can help your cat lose weight.[[Image:Have Fun with a Fat Cat Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) *Help Your Cat Lose Weight
 * 3) *Determine if Your Cat is Overweight
 * 4) *Put a Cat/Dog on a Diet
 * 5) If your cat needs exercise, use a long piece of string and tie it to a hair tie. When you make this, drag it on the floor in front of your cat. You cat will hopefully chase it, get some exercise, and have fun. Most big kitties will just lie down and start swatting at it. This is fine as well.[[Image:Have Fun with a Fat Cat Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 6) Catnip is the key to everything. If you sprinkle some in a corner of your house, your cat will surely find it, and roll around in it. When cats roll, it makes their legs and their backs stronger.[[Image:Have Fun with a Fat Cat Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 7) When you leave to go on a trip, or even to school, your cat needs something or someone to play with while you're gone. If you have a table, then tie a fake mouse to a piece of string and tape it to the bottom of your table., You can get fake mice at any of your local pet stores, or you can even make one.[[Image:Have Fun with a Fat Cat Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 8) Buy a laser pointer. Play with your cat by using the laser pointer and pointing it everywhere. But make sure at one point, you let you cat "catch it's prey".[[Image:Have Fun with a Fat Cat Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 9) Get a bag of your cat's favorite treats. Shake the bag to make your cat come over, and then make sure that they know what's in the bag (maybe even give them one). Toss a treat a distance away from your cat. Progressively throw it farther and farther away.[[Image:Have Fun with a Fat Cat Step 6.jpg|center]]

Tips

 * If you don't have a laser pointer, then just use a small flashlight.
 * Laser pointers can be found at office supply stores or pet stores.

Warnings

 * Don't put to much catnip on the floor. Not only is it hard to clean up, but too much catnip just isn't good for your cat.
 * Don't overdo the exercising if your cat is overweight.
 * Don't let your cat eat any string or play with yarn!
