This is a good reference but at the same time, it’s important to jeep in mind this isn’t 100% accurate. One of my cats looks chubby, but the vet says she has a pretty good weight and what’s even more, the vet says she should not lose any weight. She weighs 3.7 kilos and she’s a small little thing, but according to our vet she has a pretty short and bulky torso that makes her look wide from above, hence why she looks chonk. Meanwhile, my oldest cat weighs exactly the same, 3.7 kilos, but she looks exactly like the thinnest cat in the picture you show because she’s very long.

One of my cats is the same way. I was concerned she was getting chunky but the vet said she’s “perfectly plump” and at a healthy weight for her. So, now when I cuddle with my cat, I tell her that she’s perfectly plump.
