I adopted Kiki at the end of August and she was fairly small. Now I worry that she is too fat especially around her middle. What do you guys think?

She looks pretty healthy to me, at least from those photos. A cutie too.


A vet once told me that when gently stroking your cat you should be able to feel their spine through the fur. If you can't then maybe they are a bit plump - but always double check with your vet if you are concerned.

If I were to have seen those two pictures independent of each other, I would have said that in the first pic, she's too skinny, and in the 2nd set, she's perfect.

She looks ok to me but if you're worried get her weighed at the vets, I have two porkers and she's smaller than them! She's a beautiful girl
