Developing prominent cheekbones in cats requires genetics; not all cats will develop prominent cheekbones. However, breeds like British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, and Garfield cats often do, and male cats tend to have much larger cheekbones than females. Genetics determines whether a cat will develop prominent cheekbones, so unless malnourished, most cats will develop cheekbones to varying degrees. Other cats without this gene, even if they are overweight, will have pointed faces and will not develop round cheeks.
Neutering has benefits for cats' cheek development. Neutering is not only good for the cat's health, eliminating the risk of disease, but it also helps with cheek development. This is because the cat's hormones change after neutering. At this time, the cat no longer has the desire to go into heat, so it will not lose its appetite. It will eat more, which will help it develop cheeks. After neutering, we should of course give the cat more and more adequate nutrition, after all, the cat has just undergone surgery.
Cats need proper nutrition to develop fuller cheeks. They need to eat plenty of cat food. Nutrition is crucial for a cat's cheek development, so choosing the right cat food is important. If a cat is malnourished, it will be more difficult for them to develop fuller cheeks, especially for cats with less favorable genetic traits. The protein content in cat food is very important; foods rich in protein, such as fish, chicken, and beef, are essential. Since cats are carnivores, it's necessary to feed them some meat each week.
