The Chonky Cat Episode: Can GLP-1 Help Fat Cats?

🐈‍⬛ In this lighthearted but deeply informative episode of Tails of Truth, Dr. Angie and JoJo dive into the surprisingly complex world of chonky cats, feline weight loss, and the emerging science behind GLP-1 medications for cats. From adorable tummy rolls to serious conversations about cat obesity, they explore why so many indoor kitties are overweight, why kibble keeps cats chunky, and how switching to high-protein, low-carb canned food can transform feline metabolism. Dr. Angie shares her real-life struggles with her own overweight cat, Fritz, and the duo breaks down why some kitties experience relentless “food noise” — constant hunger cues that sabotage weight-loss efforts. They also take listeners inside the groundbreaking Meow1 GLP-1 implant study, which may soon help reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy weight loss in cats who can't slim down with diet alone. Packed with relatable stories, veterinary insights, and lots of laughter, this episode is perfect for cat parents wanting practical, compassionate, evidence-based strategies to help their feline friends live longer, healthier, happier lives.
