It varies by body type, whether he’s overweight or just a really big cat. My cat’s really big and his healthy weight is around 11 pounds. If he eats what he wants he weighs about 18 pounds. You should see a little bit of a waist, an indent between the lungs and the rear. You should be able to feel ribs without pushing on him too much. Here’s a diagram to help..

My daughters cat is muscular and weighs about 15 pounds. My cat weighs 8 pounds. It varies a lot my cat looks fat but has long hair. If your cat looks fat then feed it more dry food and not so much canned food. Just use canned for treats or one meal a day.
