Do not crash diet a cat

Cats should not lose weight too fast. If your cat is overweight, use BowlMath to understand current calories and portion sizes, then set a safe target with your veterinarian.

Find the hidden calories first

Treats, free-fed dry food and rounded scoops are common sources of extra calories. Counting those first often reveals why the bowl is bigger than it looks.

Make one small change at a time

A measured plan is easier to adjust safely. Keep the units consistent and track weight trend rather than guessing from one day of appetite.

Quick answers

Can I use this for cat weight loss?

Use it to understand calories and portions, but set weight-loss targets with your vet.

Why are treats important for overweight cats?

Treats can quietly take a large share of the daily budget, so they should be counted first.


Important: BowlMath gives a practical starting estimate, not veterinary advice. Ask your veterinarian before changing portions for kittens, seniors, pregnant or nursing cats, diabetic cats, cats on therapeutic diets, or cats gaining/losing weight unexpectedly.
