If you think your cat might be overweight or underweight, here is an easy place for you to start gathering information - the body condition score. 

The second thing you can do is the Hand Test. Feel your cat’s ribs (found behind their front legs). If their ribs feel like the back of your hand, they're a perfect weight. If their ribs resemble your knuckles, your cat is skinny. If their ribs feel like your palm, they’re potentially overweight.

These at-home tests are a way to determine whether or not your next stop is the vet. 

Follow for more cat health tips, funny videos, and cat stories from around the globe at Catster.

August 22 is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day - and while some cats love the experience, it's not fun for all, which is where our team at @pango_vet  comes in. It's not a substitute for in-person vet care, but it is helpful for the times when you need a bit of advice, a second opinion, or just want some peace of mind. And your cat will thank you, too. No car rides, no waiting rooms, no poking and prodding, just vet care from the comfort of the couch.

Save 65% on your first call by using the code CATCOMFORT at checkout. Visit pangovet.com for more information.
