Why Does not the Cat Get Fatter?

Everyone knows that usually a cat does not grow stout, there are, of course, exceptions, but not like other animals. Other pets (animals), say, a dog, eat everything you can give throughout the day. But the cat is a different matter. In general, the kitty itself can keep its weight within normal limits. But one of the 10, after all, is overeating. And the reason here is not in the cat itself, but in its breeder who feeds his pet. When you feed a kitty, there is a feeling that she herself is squeezing calories and knows the accounting of the food absorbed by her. If in the stern is an overestimated fat content, then the kitty does not eat fast, so it does not get fat. Why can not dogs do this because they are the same pets? And the progenitors, or, more precisely, the food skills of the ancestors-wild cats and wolves-are guilty in everything. After all, how do wolves get their food? They do not attack alone, often killing not a little much larger than their animal. At the same time it is necessary to have time to absorb as much food as possible, the flock may be numerous and who did not have time, he remained hungry. As they say, who did not have time, he was late. After that, as a wolf will eat, he usually rest, until you again need to go out hunting. Same with dogs, in general they do not need to go hunting, but the habit of instant grasping of food has remained. And where, somewhere not far away, one more doggie, the first one will run away with food with even greater insatiability. What the wild cat is doing here is completely different. The wild cat hunted singly. The main prey caught small game, so stuff like a wolf, nothing to eat. I had to be on the hunt all the time to lie down and rest, there was not. For such a lifestyle, a good solid constitution and good dexterity are required, all the time. When the prey is eaten the cat ate without haste alone and does not hurry. The domesticated cat eats always on a mode, but the manner to support itself in a body and not to overeat all the same was saved. Therefore, most likely because of this, cats are often fed and not hurrying. Therefore, do not be surprised if the cat says you will like to eat 12 to 20 times a day. The right variant of feeding can be given such: we give large portions of food 2-3 times a day, and small pauses for snack, maybe so much she wants, in comparison with us, she will not grow fat.
