Just 1 kilo more weight on a cat is 10+ kilo weight on humans. A 5 kilo cat that is 1 kilo overweight has already 25% more bodymass.
Our cat is almost 19 years old, less active, had to go on a diet for being too heavy. Our cat is a big one normally at 5 kilo and didn't look overweight, but needed to lose a kilo as he gained weight since his last checkup. He gained weight pretty quick.
