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

You think the chunky one loving kitten food might have something to do with the kitten not putting any weight on?💀

well we put a halt to it, but now we gotta stand there and direct traffic when they eat. I like her soft and fluffy but now pickign her up is a task.
