Vets Test Ozempic-Inspired Weight-Loss Drug on Cats

Doctors for cats are testing a new medicine called OKV-119 to help chubby cats lose weight.

This medicine is like the one humans take called Ozempic.

It's a small implant that goes under the cat's skin and slowly gives the medicine over six months.

More than half of all pet cats in the world are too heavy, which can make them sick.

This new medicine might help cats feel better and live longer by making their bodies use energy better and not be so hungry.

It's easier than making cats go on a diet because the implant does the work without changing their eating habits too much.
