Thread: How to make my cat gain weight?

It is true kitten food is higher in calories than adult food but having moved to adult food I'd be very wary of going back to kitten in case it is too rich and causes digestive problems i.e. diarrhoea. The weight problem could get worse if that happened. It is worth a try but at the first sign of trouble I'd go right back to his usual diet.

How is his appetite? Now he is in a new home it might not be great for a few days I guess. if otherwise his appetite is ok you could try supplements like Nurish Um or Nutri Cal.

What weight is he? He may just be destined to be a skinny belinky but as arthurwhitewhisker says it's worth seeing if you can determine why he is skinny and exclude things like diabetes and thyroid disease.

My little girl is very thin too and nothing piles the pounds on her. She just gets more hyperactive like a gremlin fed after midnight.
