Check from above when he’s standing - he should have a defined waist. You should also he able to feel his ribs with pretty light pressure.

he is chunky but he isn't ridiculous cutting his life expectancy in half fat. our girl is 17 pounds of calico BUT a picky eater unless its dry kitten food. And our kitten is going to get fixed, thankfully, in about 3 weeks is skinny as a rail and can't seem to add weight. Does caterwalling use a lot of calories???? /s

The second I seen Becky Big Butt, the very first word that popped in my head was striking...Becky, you are beautiful!

Omg this is wild!! I just got a calico. She’s 4 months old. She’s gotten a little round but I’m very careful about how much I feed her. I measure everything meticulously. She’s normal in every other aspect but she has a little roundness. (She’s fully healthy and has been to the vet and had all her shots and has been spayed). Tiny little baby, round little belly.

I have a chonker. The vet said he was fine, just to try to keep him from gaining.

Our last calico was round.

u/Itchy_Chicken_6969 1d ago

Can confirm as well. Bebe is 11 years old this year and is round but healthy.

u/Sugar-Clutz94 1d ago

I wanted to contribute to the calico roundness 🥹

u/mizz_ry 1d ago

my calico is far from round but thats because she's super uper duper active. something about what youre feeding her is putting her in a food coma so she cant exercise her chub off 😔🙏
