CATDOLL : How much weight is considered fat for a cat

If the cat weighs more than 6 kg, it is considered obese. However, cats of different breeds cannot be judged by weight alone. Cat owners can judge whether the cat is obese by touching the cat's ribs. If the cat owner needs to use a lot of force to touch the cat's ribs, it proves that the cat is obese. If the cat is relatively obese, it must be given weight loss measures. Otherwise, it is easy to get sick.

Disadvantages of cats being too fat:

If a cat is too fat, it will increase the burden on its cardiovascular system, making it more susceptible to diseases such as congestive heart failure. In addition, if a cat is too fat, its weight will be correspondingly excessive, and the burden on its leg joints will increase accordingly, which can easily lead to arthritis. Also, if a cat is too fat, it is prone to problems such as hyperlipidemia and fatty liver. For diseases such as diabetes, cats that are too fat will also have a higher incidence rate.
