Well if your kitty weighs a little over 15 lbs and isn't fat then my kitty is ok at 14.3 lbs!

I've got a 16lb cat. He is huge but not chubby at all. I don't know where he got his giant gene because his sisters weigh in at around 7lbs.

I have a "fluffy" cat that is 14lbs. The vet gave us a lecture for 20 minutes on how bad of pet owners we were, and how we should give our pets up for adoption if we cannot "handle" them. We switched vets. Our problem is that we have outdoor/indoor cats, and outdoor only cats. The outdoors are free fed the cheaper food, and the indoors are portioned very balanced food. However, I know they all probably graze on the outside food. My neighbor also has a stray that he free feeds, and our other neighbor feeds another stray.

When I was at the feedstore yesterday, there was a 24 lb cat up for adoption. It was lying down,but didn't look too obese, just huge. If I didn't already have more than enough cats I would have brought him home. Imagine that curled up on your lap.

It would smother you! It already hurts when my 15 pounder lands on me. A 24lb cat would break a rib. Owwie!
