I have the loveliest cat ever. She has always been a small cat even to the point where passers by ask why she's been allowed out of the house as they think she's too young. This has always been fine as her weight was in-line with her size.
She's now 14 and I would say she has lost weight. She is very skinny, you can see her ribs and thigh bones. I have had her at vets three times this year as I am worried about her. The vet just says she is just a small cat and that her weight is in-line with her size.
I got so worried that I insisted on blood tests. All of them were clear. No signs of illness, disease, inflammation etc. They even shaved her neck and scanned her thyroid and said that's fine too, as are her kidneys. The vet went as far as to say her results are not even borderline in anything, they're smack, bang in the middle of normal.
The vet has said as long as she is eating good quality food and appears well then there's nothing they can do. She eats Purena one selective pallete morning and teatime, nibbles on go cat dry food during the day, and she likes Felix soup at lunch time (out of the grey bowl, not her normal bowl). She often finishes her meal then will go finish our younger cats meal too (even if she doesn't let her, bit of a bully).
I want her to increase in weight a little bit just so she looks healthier. I tried her on cat milk As I read on here it's full of calories but she won't touch it. She loves dreamless and lick-e-lix but won't eat them if she doesn't fancy them then the other one just wolfs them down.
Do you have any tips and tricks for fattening up a cat please?
