Like people, some are just naturally big and heavy.

Mine was 15lbs, and healthy, just a bigger cat.

My male Willis weighs in at 27lbs. He looks like a small dog, but he is fine and very healthy.

my 9 year old weighs 14 pounds
my 6 year old weighs 12 pounds
my 2 year old weighs 10.5 pounds.

I used to live with a 17 year old persian who weighed in at 45 – yes, 45, NOT 4.5! He was huge. You could put both thumbs side by side on his ‘nose break’ and still have cat fur showing before the eyes! (he died in 1989 and I still miss him.)

i have a bob cat(yes a real bobcat) and at her last vet appt. she weighed in at 78 lbs. she was found in Maine an hand raised since she was 3 weeks old and sad had to be de clawed and de fanged but she has no aggregation issues and is now 14 years old(i have taken care of her for 13 years) she has a barn that my wife and i have turned in to a play room for her and we have a 30 acre area for her to run, she how ever does love to sleep (between me and my wife) about 4-5 times a week. visitors often get very startled by her but quickly fall in love with her when she rubs up against them and i only know of her “roaring”3 times and yes you take notice when she does that.

My cat Cailleigh is 18.3 lbs. She is a basic cat, but she sure is long as well as big. I wish I knew how big her brothers got to be! (I adopted her from a Humane Society)

19 pound orange Tabby named Hunter, and he does…. hunt….
my sister is a vet and thinks he is quite a bit overweight- brings us diet food for him every Xmas.
Says he has an eating disorder from being so thin when we rescued him- he is afraid we will stop feeding him so he gorges.
He is extremely active- very fast and agile- runs up and down stairs all day- slides across the wood floors like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Funny Frisky Fat Feline.

21.6, but she’s diabetic…

I have one that is about 15 pounds and my other cat is 4 pounds!!

My fat cat, Dudley weighs about 30lbs. He’s not flabby, he is rock solid hard. He is also about to be 15 years old. He’s extremely active and all this vet appointments have been good.

I got you beat! Nothing to be proud of, though. Poppy weighs in at 25 pounds. She’s a Maine Coon type, so I like to say that part of that is genetic, and part of it is that she’s big-boned. The rest is my fault, because I assumed she’d be self-regulated like my last cat. NOT!

No worries, though. I know it’s bad. Unfortunately, I didn’t get good diet advice, but last week I boned up on nutrition, and I now have her on 5.5-6 oz of good canned food per day, so I’m hoping to see some results soon.
