🐈 The ideal weight isn’t the same for every cat because each one is an individual and it depends on their age and breed. A scale, known as a body condition score or BCS, is often used by veterinary clinic staff, and you can use it at home too. Take a look at our slightly simplified version below.

Reach out to your veterinary clinic if you think your cat might be above an ideal body condition score, they can help support you and provide nutritional advice. ✅

Some cats have extra toes on their paws 🐾 and they are called ‘polydactyl cats’.

🧬 It is an inherited gene defect and there may be one or more extra toes from the usual 18 (5 on the front paws and 4 on the back). In some cases, the additional toes may not be connected properly to other bones, which can make them more susceptible to accidental injury. 🦴

Though this condition rarely causes significant health problems, there is no reason to deliberately breed cats with a genetic defect just because we humans think it is an interesting feature. Did you know about polydactyl cats? 🐈
