Everyone says he is fat

[Rocky'smomma]

One of My husbands friends came over earlier and played around with Rocky for a little while..Rocky loooves people!! He totally loves visitors who come over..anyway, my husbands friends thought he was a pregnant female the entire time....my sil came over and said she thought he was fat too....I am beginning to wonder if it is just my imagination or if I need to take a trip to the vet and see if he is fat....he really doesn't even eat that much, but he is 1 year old this month, and weighs 15 lbs...well, that was back in April and he feels heavier too..I just hope he isn't overweight.....I know this isnt anything that can be diagnosed over the internet, but to me he is just a large nutered male with a belly swag...he doesn't appear to be fat to me at all...either that or I am just paranoid and don't want to admit it.....I am like this with my human kids too actually...

I bet your vet's office would let you just run by and stick Rocky on a scale at no charge!? Then they could tell you if he is overweight or not, and if so ... recommend a good diet food for him! You are right that neutered males do fatten up a bit ... but they tend to get less active and overeat too!
He may just need a cat formula for less active cats now.

Good luck!

Here is a picture of him, but this was taken back in April
