    Roark is quite lean and doesn't eat too much but he also runs around all day and is a healthy boy, but just a lean one. If you think that a change in diet may help, then I would suggest adding some raw meat into their diet as a supplement to the dry food. Roark barely chews down beef mince and it disappears down his gullet in minutes and he also really enjoys mince mixed with raw egg, fresh raw fish on the bone (sole, hake or salmon) and pieces of raw chicken fillet.

    Some MCs are born to be long & lean.

    MC Elvis is now in his mid threes and is just now starting to fill out a bit.

    I can barely feel his ribs anymore when I pet him, but his backbone is still a bit too prominent for me to like it.

    At this rate, I'm guessing he'll be pushing five before he doesn't seem too skinny to me, unless his bones keep growing too.

    There's always food out for him (both wet and grain-free kibble), to the detriment of Coco the moggie Calico,
    who has grown up to be a butterball, but Elvis eats as much as he likes when he chooses to.

    Unlike the other MCs I've been around in the past he's not at all a gobbler. Dainty eater, almost.

    A maine coon should be very muscular without any fat at all, they are long, lean, flexible.
