Usually you can do several things to tell whether or not your cat is too fat. The first thing is to check the ribs. You should be able to easily feel your cat’s ribs, but they should also not be sticking out.

Look at your cat from above. Some indentation between the rib cage and the hips (that classic hourglass figure) indicates that your cat is at a desirable weight.

The best thing to do is to consult your vet who can work with you to help the cat lose weight.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
