Using home pet health technology to assist with weight loss in multi-cat households. Study conclusion suggests that a technology-enhanced weight-loss program would be accepted by cat owners and may deliver beneficial outcomes in multiple-cat households. That said, all of the participating cat owners were provided "a prescription weight-loss diet (Metabolic Feline Dry; Hill’s Pet Nutrition) to be fed three times daily, allocating at least 90% of caloric intake to the prescribed food and at most 10% of caloric intake for other food, including wet food and treats." Makes sense to provide one diet to all of the participating cats to minimize diet variability and get more accurate weight loss effects but still
