Q:”I recently adopted a new adult cat who appears to eat all day.” Is this normal, and how can you tell if he’s obese? ”
A: Some of them are crazy about their food! A few cats must only be fed in measured portions at meal times or they will overeat. Free feeding leads to obesity in some heavy eaters.
The normal body weight of a cat can vary. A veterinary examination is required to determine the proper weight for a specific pet. Some small male cats weigh 6 pounds, while others weigh 15 pounds. There are some medical reasons for weight gain as well. Consider having a veterinarian examine your pet.
