Re: Skiny Cat !!


What food is he on? Have you discussed this with your vet? Some perfectly healthy cats (wormed) just don't seem to put on weight; my Patches ate well but was always slightly skinny to the day she went to the Bridge at 20. You mentioned other cats, could they be pinching his food?

Re: Skiny Cat !!


he eats whiskers & felix (depends wot mood he is in lol) no but i'm thinking about taking him to the vets for a check up, just to make sure everything is ok. none of the other cats take his food, i'm normally around when they are eating, he always pinches JoJo's food!

Re: Skiny Cat !!


I think I would be more worried with such a young cat. I think a visit to the vet is in order for a check up. Has he been neutered?
