    Shes stop eating as much

    I have never had a female MC at that age {one was older when she arrived & the other one because of problems stiil weighs less than that} but I would have said its still a pretty good weight for a girl as she still has another three years of growing to do.I would think the groomers noticed a difference because she had a growth spurt.Because of the content of adult food they seem to eat less of it anyway,its like baby formulas as they grow & move up to richer ones there is far less in the bottle.....!
    Extra vitamins wont hurt her anyway,try her on a different brand of food,try her on wet food but only in very small amounts if she has never had any before,do as Candes suggests & routine worm her just in case.At 13 months she is not too far away from her annual check up & booster so you could always discuss any worries with your vet then.
    We now know more about her,a picture would be welcomed.

    I agree with the others.
    Worm her, and take her to the vet for a check-up.
    Try different foods, and introduce some wet food as jckkerrison suggests. Perhaps Cookie will like a nice chunck of fresh salmon … most cats adore it and it has plenty of ‘good fat’ in it.

    Don’t worry about the Tasty Oil Supplement… our Coonies too will eat certain foods out of my hand but not from their plates. Cats are funny creatures…

    One more question: has she been spayed? Non-spayed kitties usually put on weight less quickly than spayed ones.

    Good luck! And if you can find the time, do try to post pics of her… we love pictures!
