Can’t tell if he’s fat or just fluffy. Gotta post pics from above, and pics from the side, ideally while he’s standing.
He’s a huge cutie either way though.
He does look a little chubby, but judging by the humongous size of his paws, he still has a ton of growing to do.
Big belly and big appetite can be a sign of worms, so its good to keep up with your monthly de-worming preventative. Other than that it may be useful to setup a more disciplined routine around food while he's young, to give yourself less headaches later.
How old is your kitty? They look kind of young in your photos, and it's an important fact that kittens under a year don't really need to be dieted because they grow a lot! If your boy is under a year and forming fat rolls, they may have a health issue. If they're over a year old, they may need some exercise and light dieting!
If he's under a year old then it's not such a big deal, but there could be a lot of things at play!
1. He could be a growing boy still!
2. His brain may be convinced that he's still hungry, meaning he needs to be switched to a more filling food! This might take a few different brands to figure out what's good for him, but I believe it's ones higher on protein that are more filling! (I'm like 60% sure though!)
3. He may be having digestion or nutrient problems, causing him to eat more in an attempt to get his needed nutrients because his body isn't processing the food correctly.
These last two are very uncommon, especially #3! Remember, if you're worried, you can always take him to a vet to get blood work done.
thanks! he is 6 months old, i got him when he was 4 months. all he does is ask for food. he was actually born prematurely, he is small but he is like a ball, and i saw him grew rounder and rounder 🥲 i did control his diet at one point i thought maybe i was feeding him too much, but i immediately stopped when a friend told me he is still a kitten and that most should be free fed. But like what everyone else said he is still growing and i shouldn’t worry too much 🤞🏼
Being fat as a baby is safer than being too skinny as a baby. Good job OP, I'm glad you're worried about him. Internet hugs 🫂💕 Raising a lil kitten is hard lol. I'm glad my guy has been fully grown for a while, the anxiety of raising him is something I will not forget anytime soon 💀 No more cat babies for me lol, once was enough!
I do second trying some different foods, he probably still "feels" hungry. If you can try adding water to kibble or providing wet food, the water content helps with volume and feeling full. Other than that make sure he's not on a low calorie food or "lean" food, there's tons of those on the cat market. He needs those good cals and fats from his food to be a strong big guy later! That's what I remember from my vet. Good luck op!! 💕
He’s still growing at 6 months. While I think he looks like the perfect little Funko Pop version of Garfield, take him to your vet if you’re concerned.
My goodness he looks like a snuggly little teddy bear and no, i won't call him fat. He seems to be a kitten so still needs to grow to accurately monitor his weight. Kittens are always hungry lol. They act like they haven't been fed sinces ages.
Your orange looks like a kitten. Kittens are supposed to be round. When cats hit about 6 or so months, they usually start to turn into teenagers and get long and lanky, by a year and a half they've grown into their adult bodies.
Is it a baby? Can you feel the hips or ribs? When he sits on his rump are his front paws straight or splayed out. There is a list of things to check for because weight isn’t as important as cats are different sizes.
Well if he's just 6 months he's still growing, so no dieting.
As a boy kitty he may benefit from am and pm feedings of wet food. It'll help him get hydrated and stay hydrated - boys suffer kidney issues from dehydration at a much higher rate than girl kitties.
But yeah better to have some baby fat to grow into, and he is definitely still growing (look at his paws 👀).
Idk. But it looks like a Mouse sleeping
I would die for this fat mouse

Thank you for sharing this sub!
Best way to tell is with a top down picture
Depending on how big the cat is, you might need a ladder to do the top down picture.
That first photo is perfect

Let’s put it this way, he’s a powerful nugget

He looks melted, not fat.
Looks young. If that’s the case, just keep the kibble controlled and you’ll be fine.
Festively plump. Looks like a kitten. Please don’t diet yet. Let him grow. Make sure to feed appropriately.
He's Purrfect 🥹
It’s BABY

Fat enough to give serious consideration to restricting/controlling kibble intake.
