What kind of cat is it?

Generally speaking, we can easily see the ribs on thin cats. When we gently press the chest ribs, the ribs can also be easily touched. When we touch the ribs, we can feel that only a small amount of fat covers them. If you look from the side and look down, you can see that the waist is sunken, the outline of the back spine is clear and easy to see, and bones can be seen more or less in other parts of the body.

Second, round and thick cats

Round cats, such as English short-haired cats and exotic short-haired cats, have a pair of big skeletons, thick beard pads and fat cheeks, and thick necks make them look fat. For such cats, we can look at the ratio of their heads to their bellies. If the width of their stomachs exceeds the width of their heads, it means that their food standards may exceed the standard.

In obese cats, we can't see ribs at all. If we gently press the ribs on our chest, we won't touch them at all. We must press hard before we can press. When we touch the ribs, we can feel a lot of fat covering them. Looking down from the top, you can see that the whole chest and waist are protruding and the stomach becomes very big. If you look from the side, you can see a round drooping belly and a thick fat accumulation on your neck, which is obvious.

Third, a strong cat.

American shorthair cats and China civet cats are both stout cats. Look at their scapular processes. If the cat lies down, it is a little fat, but not too fat. In a chubby cat, there are almost no ribs, and the ribs are not easy to touch. When we touch the ribs, we can feel a lot of fat covering them. You can see that the waist is protruding, which means that the stomach is getting bigger. If you look from the side, you can see a drooping belly, a thick fat accumulation on the neck (swimming ring), and even the back becomes flat.
