Is this after a diet? Your cat doesn’t look “a bit chubby” to me. Adorable
To be fair, you're also not a vet
I didn’t think he was fat, but those were the vet’s words. He needs to lose about 400g, which ironically is about as heavy as a tin of beans (415g).
It's probably not that he's fat, but that he's starting to put on a bit of excess weight, and the sooner you cap off your cat's diet, the easier it is to do. Speaking as someone who had a bit of a McThick who would scream for hours and get very grumpy at the food reduction.
