Generally speaking, female cats are less likely to develop prominent cheekbones. In most cats, cheekbones are primarily related to genetics. If the father of a kitten has prominent cheekbones, then 90% of their offspring will also have prominent cheekbones; if the father doesn't have prominent cheekbones, then the kittens will generally not develop them either. Of course, it's not entirely impossible for female cats to develop prominent cheekbones, but relatively speaking, their numbers are quite small.

Once you notice your cat developing prominent cheeks, you can help supplement its nutrition. It's best to feed it nutritious meats such as beef, chicken breast, and salmon. However, it's best not to feed it only one type of food. You can also give your cat some vegetables and fruits to supplement the vitamins and other nutrients it may be lacking.
