If youâre still not sure, or you think you might have an overweight cat, have a chat with your vet. Itâs important to speak to them before you make any changes to your catâs diet if you think they are overweight, as their weight gain could be caused by an underlying illness, rather than an over-active appetite.

The best place to start is to figure out your cat's ideal weight. If you aren't sure about where your cat should be hitting the scale, your vet can let you know.
