How much do your cats weigh, and is this a healthy weight, overweight, or underweight?

Max weighs about 13 lbs, Baylee about 9. But that was from March and February respectively. Oh and new kitten Jordan weighs 2 lbs. I believe they're all at a healthy weight, last I heard.

To answer my own questions: Meeko and Esmeralda both weigh 15 lbs., Henry weighs 16 lbs. and Phineas weighs 17 lbs. Meeko is at a healthy weight, Phineas and Henry are both *slightly* overweight (the vet would ideally like each of them to lose around a pound, but is really not concerned if they don't), and Esmeralda is definitely overweight (she *needs* to lose 3-4 lbs. or her health will be at risk as she gets older - we are working on this, and while I can't weigh her myself, as my scale sucks, I'm pretty sure she is already down about a pound since we found this out at the end of May).

Yasmine weighs 12.5 pounds, but the doctors says she not over weight. She has a short body and a huge belly. She actually looks pregnant, but of course shes fixed so thats not possible. Every person that comes over asks me "are you sure yas isnt pregnant?" I only give her a cup of food a day, so since the dr isnt concerned -i'm not either!

Lola weighs just over 3 pounds (enoug to get her rabies vaccine) and is not yet 4 months old. The vet said she'll be 8-10 pounds when she is fully grown, so a good healthy size.

Leo weighs about 14 and a halfish, down from 16, and he is getting to be a quite healthy weight. We have about a third of a pound left to go until he's the ideal weight. He's also QUITE a large cat to begin with, being as his target weight is 14 pounds.

Sturgis is 8 lbs
Trouble is 8.8 lbs
Cali is 9.2 lbs
Milo is 11.8 lbs
Spirit is 13.2 pounds

All of mine are a healthy weight at this point. We were commenting just earlier this week when I took Trouble in for her shots that is was interesting that her sister weighs 10.8 pounds and Trouble is 8.8 lbs. Spirit comes from a momma cat who probably weighed about 8 lbs, but her brother and sister are also very large cats (her brother is close to 18 lbs).

Billy's overweight... probably about 12-13 lbs.

CJ's healthy... she's a small cat and probably about 7 lbs.

Mirah is a little chubby, but she's a growing kitten, and I think healthy... probably about 3 lbs.

Annie is like her mom, CJ, and is small, and is healthy.... probably about 2 lbs.

Vet said Hobbes is a teeny little bit overweight, but he's very healthy.

13.5lbs, i'm keeping an eye on his diet. i think his little pea head just makes him look bottom heavy

I'm beginning to worry a bit about little Bella. When we left TN, she was a very svelt 6.3 lbs - she's always been a bit tiny, but she was up to 8.2 lbs last fall and I thought she looked quite healthy then. Now I'm afraid with all the running about outside and competition w/ four other cats, I'm afraid she's lost a bit from 6 lbs, and she really couldn't afford to lose. I may schedule a checkup in the next few weeks just to be sure.

The rest of 'em are on the high side of "normal" - Midnight is the healthiest, probably 7-8 lbs, sleek and slender but not too. Tuxie and Pansy are both around 10.5 lbs - nice and round around the middle but not too heavy according to mom's vet. Shadow is ALL BOY, very muscular and stocky, probably 12 lbs.

Elliot is like 13 or 15, and he is a healthy weight at 3 years

Aerowyn is 5 lbs and she is a healthy weight at one year.

(But I wouldn't mind if Aerowyn gains about two or three pounds because I dont like feeling their backbones and hipbones, I like me a squishy kitty.
)

See, that's what has me worried for Bella - I can feel each vertebra in her back, and her hipbones!

Emma was about 6 lbs when we adopted her, and is now up to 8--which is great because she was skin and bones at the beginning!
Oliver is a big chunk-a-lunk @ 13.5 lbs...though at one point he was about 15 lbs--had to kitty diet at that point! He is very long though and very muscular, so he's really not that much overweight at this point--if he was 13 lbs even he'd be perfect!

I put the wrong answer, my cats are weighed in kg.

Ginger (13) had always weighed 5.5kg (about 12lb) from me getting him till Apr this year, when he weighed in at 5.75, so i decided to put him on a diet (i dont feed him that much, but he gets extra off my neighbour). My neighbours were asked not to feed him so much and he now weighs 5.35kg which is the lightest he has been in 3 years. The vet would like him down to 4 - 4.5kg, but i am happy with 5kg!!

Pebbles is underweight, but not enough to be concerned about. When she was first taken to the vet, she was in a bad way and weighed about 3.5kg. she then went up to 4.06 in two months (after me being told to watch her weight!!), but then went down to 3.58 in about 2 months, up to 3. 75 (in two weeks) and then down to 3.70 (also in 2 weeks), so she is a typical female and has fluctuating weight!!

Both of mine are being taken to monthly weight clinics at the moment, i also get tips on getting them to gain/lose weight as well.
