    Do not the cat fat, except as a compliment. She's perfect.

    What does the vet say? If the vet says she needs to lose weight, then she needs to lose weight. That's the only reliable opinion.

    She is alert, active, loves to eat her meals, is very affectionate, fearless, and uses the cat box, stools are regular and firm. She hasn't seen a vet since her vaccinations and being spayed. No reason to see a vet at the moment. Just curious if she looks fatter than is healthy.

    It's hard to say in cats that are not morbidly obesed, because the primordial poach could be hanging low and make the difference. Some do have a slower metabolism after being spayed too, but they are just a bit chubby and not fat.

    She doesn’t look overweight. More pictures of her would be better so we can see her at other angles.

    Maybe a bit chubby but not in an alerting way, u also mentioned shes been spayed, my two cats also got fatter after that. Tho u can always weigh her urself and check online for the avg or "good" measurements :P 

    Shes so cute...how do u not cat her

    She hasn't seen a vet since her initial kitten vaccinations and being spayed. She is obsessed with her meals and is really active, alert, affectionate, and regular. No reason to see a Vet far as I can see.

    But also genuinely, your best bet is to ask your vet next time you visit (you should be getting yearly vaccinations!). I recently had to take my boy to the vet because he started peeing weird (he's fine) and asked him to weigh him then

    If that's not an option for you right now for whatever reason, you can always weigh her yourself. If she's not the type to chill out on a scale you can weigh yourself, and then weigh yourself while holding the cat and then deduct, Depending on her size bone-structure wise generally a cat should be between like 4-5kg

    Also this is a good chart to reference while looking from above. My boy is a bit fat still so he looks like 2-3 lol. Don't rely on this alone though because fur length can impact this a lot

    Complete personal opinion wise, she doesn't look unhealthily big but I wouldn't be super surprised if she was a little overweight, but a picture alone can't really tell someone much. Better to check it out professionally
