Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/petobesityprevention.org\/2018\">2018 Pet Obesity Survey Results<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>With so many fat cats out there, a little extra weight on yours might look normal. If your cat is at a good weight and you compare them to most cats (who are on the hefty side), you may think yours is too skinny when it\u2019s not. You might even subconsciously try to help them put on pounds!<\/p>\n<p>Be aware that a cat is considered overweight at 10% to 20% more than their ideal weight. Beyond 20% and they\u2019re tipping the scales into obesity. That means that if your cat\u2019s ideal weight is 10 lb (4.5 kg), they\u2019re obese if they weigh more than 12 lb (5.5 kg).<\/p>\n<p>You have to figure out your cat\u2019s ideal weight to know for sure. What\u2019s your cat\u2019s ideal weight? Talk to your veterinarian. They can tell you based on your cat\u2019s body condition score.
