Meet JEMMA

A 3-year-old, spayed-female Domestic Shorthair 

• Jemma is at the clinic for an annual physical examination and vaccinations.
• Her owner reports that Jemma eats both wet and dry commercial cat foods. She receives two meals of canned food each day and can feed freely on kibble. The owner believes this helps keep Jemma hydrated and allows her to eat small, frequent amounts throughout the day, which is typical feeding behavior for cats.
• An indoor cat with a body condition score (BCS) of 8 to 9 on the 9-point scale (8-9/9), Jemma is overweight. However, her owner believes Jemma is simply “big boned.”
