Yeah Tiger is fat! Weight Management Food did him wrong! Now he gets a wet/dry mix! I took him off weight management and I am feeding him Felidae Wet and Nutro Max Cat Kitten until it's gone! I have over half a bag of Wellness Healthy Weight Dry and half a bag of Nutro Weight Management that I don't know what to do with! He has gained at least 4 pounds in a year being on weight management food and he is active! From now on he will get regular adult formulations of dry!

Big Milo is between 22 and 25 pounds. He's a very big kitty.





Zebra is only 5 pounds and Milo is around 9-10 pounds. I call them my small, medium and big kitties.

Ling is a bit fatter then I think she should be - she's pushing 10 lbs (will watch so she's not any bigger).

Charlie is 7 months old and about 8 1/2 lbs (or close to it - last time I weighed him he was 8.2) Solid muscle.

The biggest cat I've ever owned was Mitten - at 14 lbs solid muscle. I'm used to rex size cats - like 5-7 lbs! Charlie will be the 2nd biggest cat (12 lbs) when full grown.

Reeses was 7 the last time we had her weighed, but she wasn't eating as much and was throwing up. She's put some weight on her for sure since then, but I'd still say she's only about 8lbs.

I think Quill is a good solid 12 lbs. He's big enough to not knock you over when he pounces on you

The largest and heaviest cat I've ever had the pleasure to meet was Buck. We were visiting the garden of his humans and at that time he was a 24 pounds. (red tabby DSH) However, he had been on a diet and had lost 12 pounds!!! He was not "fat", just a large cat.

And such a sweetie. He had been tied to a sapling to keep him from getting underfoot.

I have no idea how much my two weigh, though Topaz is the heavier.

Tailer's my chubby boy. He weighed 12 lbs, 9 oz at our last vet visit. The vet's not concerned, but he still looks a bit chunky to me.

Forest's weight is perfect (right about 10 lbs), and Harvey's on the skinny side (barely pushing 8 lbs).

Where whiskers abound.
My two cats weigh about 12-13 pounds each. I refuse to let them go over that. Before, they were gaining weight, back when I USED to leave dry food out 24/7. After the recall and much searching on this forum, they NOW eat in the morning and at night.

They are more frisky this way and healthier----AND THEY DON'T VOMIT SO OFTEN.

Lily weighs the most in my household at 4.2kg (a little over 9lbs), and she is very long and lean. Smudgey is 3.8kg (about 8 1/2 lbs), and she looks a little tubbier than my other two, but she's also got longer, thicker, fluffier fur, whereas the other 2 are shorthair, and the fur sits close to their bodies. Stumpy is my little girl now at 3.5kg (8lbs).

So my girls definitely won't win the fattest kitty contest!

Molly is the "fatttest"....a tummy on legs @ 15 lbs. Otherwise...Dory is the next largest at 8.4 lbs. I'm getting concerned about Damita being so thin again.....

Nikita is somewhere between 12 and 13 pounds. She's very fit and sleek, you can easily feel her ribs and she has a nice tuck before her hips etc. so she could actually gain a bit of weight and still be a healthy weight.

She's not a huge cat in size though, just average, maybe a bit bigger than normal for female cats. What she is is very very very muscled. Compared to most other cats I pick up she's a solid brick :p

Scratch is... big, I think around 12 pounds, maybe less. Squee on the other hand is long and lean, so probably around 7 pounds.
