My Cat is Underweight: Helping Your Cat Gain WeightUpdated 7 hours ago
If your feline friend is looking a little too slender, it's natural to be concerned. Many factors can lead to a cat being underweight, from underlying health issues and the natural effects of aging to stress, dental problems, or simply a discerning palate. The first and most crucial step is always to consult your veterinarian. They can diagnose any medical conditions contributing to the weight loss. Once any health concerns are ruled out or managed, the spotlight turns to nutrition, and that's where Untamed steps in.
Why Nutritional Support is Key for Underweight Cats
For cats struggling to maintain a healthy weight, the right diet isn't just helpful—it's essential. You need food that's not only highly palatable (so they'll actually eat it!) but also nutrient-dense and easily digestible. This trifecta is vital for optimising your cat's health, boosting their well-being, enhancing their quality of life, and, of course, helping them gain weight safely and effectively.
The Untamed Advantage: Fueling Healthy Weight Gain
Premium Protein & Optimal Digestibility
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies are built to thrive on meat. For an underweight cat, the quality and absorbability of protein are paramount. Untamed recipes contain ultra-high quality, whole, human-grade protein. We prioritise real meat, ensuring your cat gets the best building blocks for muscle and overall health.
Our gentle steaming process is key here. Unlike harsh cooking methods, steaming significantly increases digestibility, allowing your cat to absorb every precious calorie and nutrient efficiently. Furthermore, by excluding animal by-products or fillers, Untamed ensures the food is easy on their digestive system, maximising nutrient uptake without unnecessary strain.
Ideal Protein and Fat Content
To support healthy weight gain, a cat's diet needs the right balance of macronutrients. Untamed recipes provide an above-industry-average protein content (on a dry-matter basis) combined with substantial healthy fats. This carefully balanced composition is precisely what the feline digestive tract is designed to process effectively. This powerful combination supports lean muscle gain and provides the optimal macronutrient profile to help your cat reach and maintain a healthy weight.
Irresistible Palatability
Even the most perfect nutritional profile won't help if your cat turns up their nose at mealtime! Appetite is a huge factor for underweight cats, especially the picky ones. Untamed's recipes boast a real meat aroma and flavour, making them incredibly appealing even to the fussiest eaters. The gentle steaming process further enhances the taste, making our food irresistible for most cats. With Untamed's broad variety of flavours, you can keep mealtime exciting and stimulate your cat's appetite, encouraging them to eat consistently and get the calories they need.
