I know of an MC 'kitten' who weighs 7 kg at 8 months ...and you can still feel all his ribs through his fur .... each cat to their own

Poor Harry looks as if he's wasting away.

MC Elvis is 21 months old now ( 13 lbs at last "official" weigh in ) and is still mostly head & tail & fur.

He gets all the food he wants, but he is still skinny enough to feel his ribs & backbone.

It seems as if his bones ( and feet ) are still growing faster than he can put meat on them.

Vet says he's OK as far as health issues so I'm not worried.

They do seem to have growth sperts as opposed to steady weight gain, and it would seem that every cat is different. Harry is definately one of those who seems to stay the same for a couple of months and then bang, on it goes !

Lol thanks Candes, will try that, Harry isn't the easiest boy to photograph, he won't stay still long enough, with the 5 or 6 photos I posted of him earlier, I actually took about 20, most of which were blurred and he certainly did look like a fur ball that had an electric shock !

That also describes my previous MC. It was especially noticeable when bathing him -- he was incredibly skinny!
