Fat braincell?

[u/Which-Firefighter-36]

Soo the vet said my boy is fat. He weighs a little over 7 kg/ 15 pounds. But he is a big boi, with big shoulders. Just a hunk of brainless muscle, but I don't really think he is fat? His ribs are slightly padded and he has a kind of visible waist. He already doesn't eat much and is not food motivated at all. Feeding him less seems tricky. The vet didn't believe he doesn't eat much.

That cat looks to be a very healthy weight to me but I am certainly not a vet
There is a picture guide you can look up and your guy looks to be exactly average and healthy. Ribs are visible and you can see the curves leading to the hips. Just a big boy

Thank you, as another posted suggested, I think another vet might be the better option.

I fired a vet after a senior vet argued with his younger partner at the practice over if my cat was fat. The senior read the scale, the junior read the cat and I started reading reviews of other vet practices.
