Is my Siamese cat too thin? How to know if he's underweight?

Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered

I don’t know if my cat is too thin. He’s smaller than most Siamese cats and we have been feeding him a bowl of dry food as a bowl of wet food per day.

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Cats and dogs can vary in size based on genetics. If Kenny is small but otherwise healthy he is likely normal. If he is skinny then I would be sure he has been properly dewormed. It would be best to have his stool tested. If he is older then a physical exam and blood work may be warranted. You can always post a picture. I have attached a body condition score chart attached for you to view and decide if Kenny is too thin. I hope this helps and I wish you and Kenny the best! https://oregonvma.org/files/Purina-Cat-Condition-Chart.pdf
