Many people raise cats and weigh them regularly to know if the cat is fat or thin. This is also a criterion for judging whether the cat is healthy.

The standard weight of small cats is about 5 to 10 pounds. For example: Siamese cat, British shorthair cat, pastoral cat

The standard weight of medium-sized cats is about 8 to 13 pounds. For example: Garfield cat, Persian cat

The standard weight of large cats is about 10 to 25 pounds. For example: Maine Coon cat, Ragdoll cat, Norwegian Forest Cat

The above weight range is only for adult cats. It is normal for cats to weigh no more than two kilograms. Male cats will be fatter than female cats. Female cats are smaller and naturally thinner. Compared with this standard weight, is your cat overweight?

If your cat is overweight, it may mean that he is overweight. Obesity in cats can cause many diseases. Such as diabetes, heart disease, spinal disc herniation, fatty liver, high blood pressure, etc. Nowadays, indoor cats only sleep and eat, and rarely exercise, which can easily lead to obesity. You can find that cats with good figures have very strong tendons on their bodies; while obese cats have real fat.

If you find that your cat is overweight, take it to exercise appropriately. Taking some time to play with your cat every day can not only enhance your relationship, but also satisfy your cat’s physical activity. If the cat is unwilling to move, you can tempt it with some snacks to increase its enthusiasm for playing.

In addition, for overweight cats, the poop scooper needs to control the amount of feeding. You cannot directly reduce the amount of food you feed. Just like changing food, it requires a gradual process. For example, take a week as a cycle, reduce the amount every week, and reduce it to the normal amount after 1 to 2 months. During this period, the cat should keep exercising.

If the cat is thin, it is likely to have insufficient nutrition or parasites. Pet owners should remember to deworm the cat regularly and try to provide nutritionally balanced food. Don’t blindly pursue your cat’s obesity. It’s best for your cat to stay healthy.
