Exercise That Cat!

Step 1:
Buy a cat tower. This is a wonderful exercise toy for your cat, who will spend hours climbing up and down it. If you cannot afford a tower, build them one. You can use anything to construct the tower, from boxes to wood pieces. Make sure he has a place to climb, and your cat will love you for it.
Step 2:
Play with a ball of string or rope to get your cat active. Drag it around a corner, or dangle it from the ceiling and watch your cat go crazy! You will enjoy it as much as your fit and trim cat will.
Step 3:
Use a flashlight to get your cat active, fit and trim. Dim the lights, narrow the beam and send it up and down the walls and ceiling. Your cat will love chasing the strange white dot around the room.

Diet and Nutrition

Step 1:
Train your cat to eat properly by giving them portions twice a day. Cats are notorious for eating finicky. If you give them one large bowl at once, they are more likely to overeat. Give them one serving in the morning and another at night.
Step 2:
Supplement your cat's food with healthy cat treats every other day. This will give your healthy cat a chance to be primped and pampered. She will appreciate the extra love that treats show. Make sure you make a big to-do about giving it to them so that it might be even more of a kitty gala. They do love the attention, you know!
Step 3:
Keep a clean litter box for your cat. This is actually very important as cats despise dirty litter boxes. This also can affect a cat's eating habits and nutrition. A backed-up cat is no fun at all. He keeps himself very clean, so make sure that his throne is too.

Tips & Warnings

Consult your vet if your cat has special dietary concerns.
