Pampered cats piling on the pounds during the pandemic
Pampered cats have been piling on the pounds during the Covid-19 crisis as British owners spoil them at home, an animal charity has claimed. Research from the Cats Protection charity says one in five cats have put on weight due to their owners over indulging them at home, with more than a quarter of owners admitting they had overfed their pet since March 2020. Before the pandemic, it was estimated over three million of the UK’s pet cats were overweight, with the charity suggesting one in five more have gained between one and 2.25 kilograms in weight over the last year.
