It’s not that bad. Depending on their natural size, I don’t think they’re overweight until 13-14.

They could also just have one of the big breeds like a skogkatt or a Maine coon which can easily get a lot heavier than that without being unhealthy at all

I had a huge cat once that was 18lbs, but he was legit the size of a smol human.

Edit: Here he is with a small, 7lb cat, for scale
