Purrfect exercise for your moggies

VET Dr Romo says it is vital that a house cat – or fat cat – gets 30 minutes of energetic play every day.

She reveals: “It’s in your cat’s DNA to want to use short bursts of energy to hunt, jump and play, so try to incorporate these explosive bursts into your exercise routine.

“Young cats are easily amused and will happily join in, but bear in mind that older and overweight cats might be a little tougher to engage.”
