PLEASE READ THIS MEDICAL DISCLAIMER CAREFULLY.
1. Not Professional Advice
The calculations provided by PetlyInfo are estimates only. Every cat is an individual with a unique metabolism. Factors such as underlying illness, genetic predisposition, and environmental stressors can all influence caloric needs.
2. Specific Health Conditions
This calculator is intended for healthy cats. It is NOT suitable for cats with certain medical conditions, including but not limited to:
• Diabetes Mellitus
• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
• Hyperthyroidism
• Cancer or other wasting diseases
• Pregnancy or lactation
3. Danger of Drastic Diet Changes
Drastic reduction in food intake can be dangerous for cats. Overweight cats who stop eating or eat too little are at high risk for Hepatic Lipidosis (fatty liver disease), which can be fatal. Never put your cat on a "crash diet" without veterinary oversight.
4. Consultation
Always consult your veterinarian before starting a weight loss or gain program. They can provide a clinical assessment and ensure your cat's nutritional plan is safe and effective.
