Michelle Fern chats with Reality stars Katrina Hodgson and Karena Dawn from Bravo’s 'Toned Up' about Purina Cat Chow's 'Why Weight' program to raise awareness about cat obesity.  Purina Cat Chow is aiming to reach 100,000 Why Weight pledges by May 2 and will donate $50,000 to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) to provide educational tools to veterinarians and support research to help reduce the number of overweight cats.

In the second segment Michelle continues the feline theme and talks to Aimee Diskin, Director of Innovation & Product Development at Worldwise, Inc. about their SmartyKat products.  Hunting for food is all the exercise wild cats need to stay sleek and slim. All cats need regular activity, but almost half of domesticated housecats are considered clinically obese. SmartyKat Exercise products promote sustained activity and burn calories the fun way.
