Cats are all different, just like humans and other animals.

A large built big boned cat will weigh more than a small boned petite cat.

I have big and tall built cats that are a muscular and healthy 19 pounds… and on the other end of the scale I have a teeny tiny boned cat who weighs in at a meer 7 pounds yet she is very healthy too. Based on their individual body structure I could never compare them.

It’s best to assess your cats weight by it’s body condition and not compared to other cats.

Here’s a chart to help you do that…

It is like humans. Some are big boned but mistaken for being over weight. But, Mischief_cat123, I know you and have seen your cats and I am not worried about any of them!!
