I have no idea if my cat is the "appropriate" weight. He is pretty big - as in quite long, although not really broad through the chest. He was very thin about a year ago - because he was just getting used to his new home, and new family, and new food, he quit eating. We knew he was too thin - we could feel his bones with little padding.
We found kitten / growth formula food that he liked, and gave him that for about three months until he seemed to have filled out - and then took him back to the vet. He had gone from 9 pounds to 12, which is what the vet thought he should weigh.
Now I don't know how to tell what is overweight. How do you tell?
