Just like humans, cats have their own body mass index. It's called feline body mass index, and it's relatively easy to calculate according to Embrace Pet Insurance:
Gathering Information:
While your cat is in a standing position, with the legs perpendicular to the ground and the head upright:
- Measure the circumference of your cat’s rib cage. (The level of the 9th rib is ideal.)
- Now measure the length of the lower back leg from the knee to the ankle and write down both numbers. You'll need them for what's next!
Calculating the FBMI
- Divide the rib cage measurement by 0.7062 and subtract the length of the leg.
- Divide that answer by 0.9156.
- Subtract the leg length from that number, and that is your cat’s FBMI.
