Fat Cat?

Matilda's 11 lbs but should be 9 1/2. (2+ years old)

Chloe is 7 lbs, she should stay that way. (1 1/2 years old)

Henry is 8 lbs and shouldn't get much bigger. (8 months).

Shareena and Miss Patchwillow have both put on some weight since they were spayed in November. Part of if may be their winter insulation.

Shareena is just under 7 pounds and Miss Patchwillow 9 pounds.

Goldy was spayed at the same time, but she's managed to keep her svelte figure. She won't hold still for the scale, but I think she's between 5 and 6 pounds.

Iris and Cali are both 5 pounds (barely) at 5.5 months of age.

Bodhi weighs about 15 lbs. He's gained since I got him from the shelter. He's a Maine Coon so that's a good weight for him, although I do think he's gotten a bit of a belly.

Siddha went to the vet this morning and weighed in at 8.13! He's gained 2 pounds in just over a month! He's only 9 months old and the vet said he was doing great.

Sabastian and Nipper are a good 18 lbs the last time i checked. Every cat i have becomes a fat cat. I must admit theres nothing i love more than a fat cuddly cat! Im sure Princess will prob get up there as well.

Katie was 7.8 lbs at her vet visit last week. Gracie's weight usually hovers right about 10.bs. Pete was 11.2 last time at the vet. Claire's my big girl at 14+, hence her diet. Our vet would like to see Claire lose 2-3, so we're working on that.

Only the vet can really say if they are normal. The breed profile weight for female Oci's is 6-9lbs, 7-8 seems to be average.
Over here many ped. breeds are bigger than their US counterparts.

Willie weighs about 10 pounds and Neko about 13, but Neko could drop a pound or two, he's a bit chubby.

Trout is a dainty 7.5 lbs since the vet visit last month. She hasn't gained a pound in the last year. She tries to keep in shape

They all are at the proper weight for their size/breed.

Ling - about 10/11
Charlie - about 11
Jack (not sure cause he's not here and is still a kitten - will be about 12 when grown).

My parent's cat Orion weighs 20+ pounds! He is HUGE!

And it's an honest-to-goodness mystery as to why. He's not a stocky breed of cat either. He got pretty sick when my husband and I moved 2,000+ miles away (we're now minutes away from him so we can see him anytime ) so my parents took him to the vet to see why.

The vet gave him a shot of nutrients/vitamins of some kind, and for 2-3 months after that, all Orion would do was EAT! He'd eat his food AND the dog's food and still act like he was starving. They gave him balanced portions but he started packing on the weight. It was like something in that vitamin shot made his body start hoarding the pounds.

They took him back because he was getting chunky rather fast. Two different vets have said they don't know what could've caused it. Orion's weight has tapered off but he's still BIG. He gets fed good portions of balanced cat food and plays and runs around a lot but doesn't seem to be shedding those pounds even though I think he could stand to lose about 5 of 'em I tell Orion he has "Man Boobs" and that the girls don't find that too appealing..lol

Our cats are all outdoor kitties and are all purrfect weight!

Charlie: 9 lbs.

Junior: 9 lbs.

Sylvie: 6 lbs. (she's really slender and light boned)

Monet: (not sure, she's still a kitten, but will probably weigh 8-9 lbs)

Fat cats are not healthy, and all of our cats are kept fit and trim by regualt exercise and limited food intake. I don't reccomend free feeding if you want healthy, trim kitties.

Levi 8lbs
Samantha about 9
Tom was 9lbs and I was told he was too fat
