Is 6 kg normal for a male Birman?

Yes, 6 kg is within the healthy range for a large-framed adult male Birman (breed range: 3.5–7 kg). Confirm with body condition scoring — if ribs are easy to feel and a waist is visible, the weight is appropriate for that individual.

How do I weigh a Birman at home?

Weigh yourself holding the cat, then weigh yourself alone and subtract. Alternatively, use a kitchen scale with a basket or carrier tared to zero. Weigh at the same time of day, before feeding, for consistent comparison.

My Birman looks big but feels padded — should I be concerned?

If ribs are difficult to feel through parted coat and there is no waist definition, your Birman may be overweight despite looking proportionate visually. Consult your vet for a BCS assessment and a feeding plan if needed.
