Is 13 pounds normal for a 3 year old male? He’s really long but I’m a bit worried my mom might be over feeding him since he feels heavier. He’s not that fluffy, he has a standard short coat

ANIMAL SCIENCES STUDENT HERE Gently run your hand along his sides and then his spine. If you can still feel his ribs but not in the “omg he’s skin and bones” way and more in the “oh yea those are ribs” way, he should be ok! The same deal with the spine too! It’s kinda like when you stretch your arms up above your head and you can see the outline of your ribs - that’s abt what you should be feeling. There’s a graphic imma post in response to this comment that shows a cats healthy weight scale 🫶
