How the Calculator Works

BMI = Weight (kg) / (Length (m))²
Note that the length is converted from centimeters to meters by dividing it by 100.
Limitations
While this calculator provides a basic estimation of your cat’s BMI, it’s important to note that the BMI is just one indicator of health. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and overall body composition are not accounted for in this simple calculation. Always consult with a veterinarian for comprehensive health assessments of your pet.
