Applies to cats too. Too many times I see an overweight cat and it’s “chonky.” No, it’s morbidly obese and needs to lose weight.

My cat really is just a husky boy! I feed my cats the same amount twice daily. No food is left out and I make sure they're only eating their own bowl. My female is completely normal weight but my boy is straight 16 pounds 😭

It's entirely possible you're over feeding the cat based off their metabolism and activity level. Overfeeding doesn't mean free for all necessarily, it means over their caloric needs

It's also possible you just have a big boned cat. You'd really need to ask their vet
