Is my cat actually obese? (Picture included)?

Question

This is kind of a follow-up to my previous question. I suppose I'm assuming that my cat is overweight because I'm comparing her to our other cat. I try to take good care of my pets, but this is the first time I've owned cats as an adult (had one as a child). So, here's a picture of my cat. Is she in fact overweight?

Nah your cat is not obese. I've seen obese cats and this is not one of them.

I wouldn't class her as being overweight. I have a cat that's fatter than her and he is only just overweight so I would say she is a good, healthy size.

By the look of it that's just thick fur making her look a little larger.  She's clearly a hairy girl, look at the tail. She looks fine to me.
