How much should a 15 year old cat weigh?

3 Answers  |  Asked By: kittykatluv123   126   

My cat Phoebe has always been small, but now that she is older I worry that she doesn’t weigh enough. She is only 9 pounds; is that ok? She is such a sweet cat and she appears healthy, but I really am worried about her.

If you think she is under weight then please let me know how to help her easily gain weight.
Thanks! :)

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 at a healthy weight as well. Based on their individual body structures 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…

I’m not really sure because my cats are 5 months old but weigh 37 ounces so I don’t know.

If she has started to lose weight, I would probably take her to the vet. Better safe than sorry. I have one cat is is 7lbs and one that is 14lbs. Both are good weights for their size.
