The uwu-fication of animal obesity these past ten years or so has been pretty disturbing to witness.
Tracks as a “cute” way for pet owners to avert feeling guilty/responsible for their animals being dangerously overweight.
“Oh no Mr. Wiggles isn’t obese he’s just a heckin’ chonkerino wholesome chungus” meanwhile the cat wheezes trying to go up and down the stairs.

A fully grown house cat is between 8 and 20 pounds, unless your cat is bone structurally very large, 20 points is already overweight. But sometimes it's hormones or lethargy that can cause a cat to gain weight. I have our cats on scheduled eating times and they don't get more food after their two meals aside from occasional treats. I have 3 cats that are the right weight and one that's overweight. He's overweight because he's a fixed boy and in their older age they gain weight because of lower testosterone. He is, however, only 14 pounds. That being said, there are circumstances where being over 20 pounds is not always the owner's fault like in the case of a thyroid problem
But he's hungy…
Is 1 under fed? Usually these charts show extremes in both directions.
1 is actually mislabeled, that would be your cat from 8 to 20 points, depending on your cat, the smaller the cat the lower the healthy weight is obviously.
If your cat is a healthy weight you will see the silhouette of their ribs when they stand, if your cat is ovular when they stand they are a little overweight, if your cat is more round, your cat is obese, which is not healthy for your cat. Anything above that is incredibly unhealthy.
it's more common to see obese cats than underfed ones, especially on the internet. Without the stupid 'chonker' names, this chart could be an actual wake-up call for some owners browsing the internet, I'd hope.
