Thread: Podgy Pets Leaflet!

I don't think he looks too bad, though it is hard to tell without feeling of him. Our nearly three year old is more overweight, but our nearly two year old boy is thinner (though he is >20lbs). From our experience, male MCs are quite muscular. The girls stay fairly bony but not the boys. They shouldn't have lots of loose flab on them, but expecting to easily feel their ribs is not what I have come to expect. Frankly, many vets know nothing at all about MCs and tell you things that are simply incorrect for MCs. So I would be a bit skeptical. 6kg sounds awfully light for a 1.5 year old male MC unless he is a fairly small one. Male MCs do not have the same physiques as moggies--they have much heavier frames and more muscle. Don't expect a male MC to feel like a moggie!
