How to fatten kitten up?

[Dolliebobs]

Have a 17 week old BSH x who Has gone off her food and looking abit skinny. She will eat it but not like before where she would be meowing constantly for food!

she’s fed Blink wet and lilys kitchen dry. She’s been worked and flead x

advice please xx

She looks perfect not skinny! That cat is the picture of health ☺️ kittens are slimmer than an older cat anyway. I wouldn’t be worrying yet. With my youngest kitten you could feel all her spine at one point but she soon grew and put on fat.

She looks an ok weight to me. Kittens will eventually not cry for food constantly when they can eat larger portions at a time like human babies.

She looks perfect to me - you really don't want to fatten her up. Speaking as someone who has a young, arthritic cat because the previous owners over-fed him, you really don't want to go down that road!

Small meals, little and often is the way to go.

I have an 8 month old and he is still a skinny slinky little thing. They don't really beef up until they are a year or two old especially bag as they tend to mature more slowly.

As long as yours is eating kitten food not adult cat food (ours is a rescue and was being fed adult cat food before. He put on a kilo in 6 weeks!!). Then he's fine.

BSH cats chunk up, so don’t worry, she won’t be slinky for long. And if you are having her neutered, she’ll likely gain more weight after that.

Young cats move from little kitten with pot belly to noodle stage. Skinny little malinkies are hilarious. They chonk out now with muscle etc once they hit around 7ish months, and can continue to grow until around 2. You have a noodle.
