Skin which appears lumpy and discontinous is a clear sign that there is fat as muscle and skin is continuous unless there is fat under skin which cause lumpiness and irregularities. If he was fatter, then his obliques won't be visible. Only way an animal can be fat than other is when one is less defined than other. In this case, both have equally visible obliques which is an indication both have similar fat percentages. Larger, bulkier cats have less visisibility of obliques and other muscle groups. If you look at ximpoko (wild) aslan and Jahari. All had no definition and all were 250 kgs.

What do you mean they had no definition?

"lumpy" doesn't mean fat in the context we're discussing nor am I saying one cat has no fat, they all do. But it's obvious the difference between the two mentioned.
A stout or robust cat with strong muscle composition also isn't what's being discussed, what is being shown is the obvious layer of excess fat that runs across it's entire midsection, not a stomach flap but actually fat. This is signs of an overweight cat, especially in a younger one where atrophy hasn't started yet. Reply
