Use our free Cat BMI Calculator to estimate whether your feline friend is underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight. This tool helps cat owners monitor their cat’s health by providing a quick estimate based on your cat’s body weight and body length. Knowing your cat’s BMI is a useful starting point for identifying potential weight-related health issues and planning appropriate diet or exercise routines.

How to Measure Your Cat

To calculate the Cat BMI accurately, you will need two values:

• Weight (kg): Weigh your cat using a pet scale or by weighing yourself while holding your cat and subtracting your own weight.
• Body Length (cm): Measure from the tip of your cat’s nose to the base of the tail (not the tip of the tail). Make sure your cat is standing or lying straight on a flat surface when measuring.

Once you have both measurements, enter them into the calculator. The BMI is then computed using the formula: BMI = Weight (kg) / Length (m)². This calculation is adapted for feline physiology and provides an estimate of body condition.

Understanding the BMI Result

Based on current veterinary guidelines, here’s how to interpret your cat’s BMI:

• BMI < 50: Underweight – Your cat may need nutritional support or veterinary assessment.
• 50 ≤ BMI ≤ 70: Normal – Your cat is likely within a healthy weight range. Continue with a balanced diet and regular play.
• BMI > 70: Overweight or Obese – It may be time to adjust your cat’s diet or activity level. Consider a visit to the vet for a tailored plan.
