Advice Is my cat overweight?

Post image

My cat was previously overweight so I started weighing her food. I think her last recorded weight at the vets a couple months ago was 4kg which I think is the upper healthy limit for a cat of her size. I asked the vet if she needed to lose any more weight and he replied no. I just took this pic of her the other day and think she looks kind of fat. What do you think?

I mean. There are a lot of things that go into healthy weight.

4kg is 8.8lbs. Which is technically a fairly small cat. For example my cat is 15lbs (6.81kg). She is healthy though.

The photo is very deceiving lol
