How much should she weigh...?

I have a tabby cat... 11 years old. She's a bit overweight I'd say... but not bad. She's about 11.5-12 lbs... how much should a tabby cat weigh for good health??

Here are a few pics of her from different angles...
These pics were taken a few years ago... while she was on Innova Evo kibble. She's now on Nature's Variety raw frozen.








Thanks,
Sandra

I agree she's not too overweight. She looks average size - maybe could lose a pound or 2 at the most - I'd go for 9/10 lbs. IMO.

BTW tabby is the color - its not a breed. She's an average size domestic SH Pretty cat too

A vet is the best one to ask this ?? too

She's a beautiful girl.
I agree with Sharky, your Vet would be the best person to ask about her weight.
I thought my Elliott was a little to chubby...he didn't look fat, but I felt like I needed a crane to pick him up because he's so heavy.
But, my Vet said based on his overall size...he's a BIG cat... his weight was just fine and he's around 14 pounds.

How well can you feel her ribs? You want to be able to feel them easily but they should still have a little bit of padding over them. Honestly, she looks good to me--maybe she could lose a pound. But since she's a senior, pay very close attention to any weight loss unless she's on a diet designed for weight loss.

I would ask your vet - while she looks OK in those pics, you said they were taken a few years ago, and we can't see what she looks like now.

I'd say the vet would be the best judge as well... the cat's bone structure (not simply breed) plays heavily in determining the "ideal" weight for your kitty... Oliver is a DSH (domestic short hair - same as your kitty) and is 5 years old... he's weighing in perfectly at 15 pounds - he is a big structured kitty and you can tell when he's wet that he's not fat by any means (he's got a good fluffy coat though that is deciving)... you should be able to feel your kitty's ribs slightly, but obviously he shouldn't be a skeleton either... easy way to keep track of your kitty's weight too btw: use your standard bathroom scale - you holding cat step on and note the weight, then lose the kitty and step on yourself (don't faint! haha) and note the weight... subtract the 2 and you've got your kitty's weight... better than running to the vet any time you're curious, haha
