Is It Healthy For My Cat to Weigh 13 Pounds?

Answer 1

That's a fairly normal weight. My cats weigh 14 lbs and 15 lbs.

Answer 2

My Cat Weighs 13 Pounds

Answer 3

My cat weighs 15 pounds and runs around like crazy.

Answer 4

It depends on how the cat is built. I had a perfectly healthy cat that weighed 26 pounds and he wasn't fat. He was just a really big cat. If your cat is fat then it's not healthy.

Answer 5

My cat weighs 18 pounds. The vet said he needed to go on a diet. In a year he still hasn't lost any weight.

Answer 6

It's not bad at all. My male cat weighs 17 pounds and the vet just suggested that he loses only 1 pound.

Answer 7

For a full grown cat that is quite normal. Although I suppose it depends on the cat's frame. Thirteen pounds could look normal on some cats, but look really fat on others. My cat is only ten pounds, but she has a small frame so she looks kind of tubby.

Answer 8

Depends on the size of the cat. I had one that was slim and weighed 15 lbs. He was so long, he could take things off the edge of the kitchen counter.

Answer 9

Yes, if he or she is not fat and is healthy.

I had a cat that weighted 13 1/2 lbs. She was just bigger than most cats and the vet was not at all concerned.

Answer 10

If it is a large cat (not just in weight) then it might be a healthy weight, but I know my cat is about that weight and she is on a diet!! You might want to talk to your vet about a certain kind of food and portions to feed your cat to maintain its weight.
