How big is your cat?


After reading a thread yesterday about cats and diets, I thought it would be interesting if we measured our cats around their middles just to see how they compare Obviously the kittens on here would be lovely and lean still....but how about the older cats?

Cassie is 17.5" (45cms)

Are we classing the middle as near the neck, near the tail or in the middle it will make a major difference especially in the older than old cats with baggy belly's

Re: How big is your cat?


I dont have a tape measure! but i know oatmeal is still rather a podge and he only three and half eyars old!! twix was a podge too but has lost weight since i got rid of go-cat food. Oatemal lost a little but still a tubby bubby. Maybe have to buy a tape measure soon.
I do have one of them DIY ones but dont think they appreciate that very much
