The WSAVA 1-9 scale is the gold standard veterinarians use. Go through each step below and find your cat's score. No scale needed — just your hands and eyes.
Based on the WSAVA 1–9 Body Condition Score (BCS) scale, this tool combines visual assessment (ribs, waist, belly tuck) and palpation (ribs, spine, hips) to estimate your cat's score.
Answer all six questions honestly. Click "Get My Score" to see your cat's BCS and personalized advice.
Perform the check monthly. Ideal score is 5/9. Scores below 4 or above 7 warrant a veterinary consultation. Combine with the Weight Tracker for best results.
