Poor kitty

If someone removed the mat laying on top of the furniture, it would make it easier for the cat to get up there.
It probably feels unsteady to jump up on a mat that slides when he touchs it.

A well-known and respected vet once said on the radio show with me that if you run your hands down your cat's sides, you should be able to easily feel that there are ribs underneath the fur. Anything more than that, like if you have to press hard to find ribs, and the kitty is overweight.

Yup, similar with dogs - should be able to feel the ribs without seeing them, that's a pretty good weight.
