Doh! I didn't think of that, and tbh, neither of them like being held so I had to be really quick but I've not got their weights, double checked too. I also put the scales onto KG's instead of trying to convert is (and failing lol)

Morris: 4.4kgs
Mia: 3.5kgs
Socks (the moggy kitten) 3.5kgs

I'm relieved they aren't so thin as I thought they were going to be but really keen to get them onto wet food asap. Thanks for the tip re lamb mince, I'll give anything a go at the moment.

I have weighed Ginger's carrier and then weigh it with her in it. Of course she is using a small dog carrier as she outgrew her cat one! Silly girls weighs 13# and is very healthy!
here she is lounging on my laptop or what she thinks is a cat warmer hahahaha

woah, she's a pretty thing, isn't she!?

Thank you Goldie! We think so but we are partial to sassy red girls that rule with a firm paw hahaha

Well, I've bought some wet food (Applaws) and have been mixing really small amounts into the the MC's dry food (tablespoons) and so far, no sicky! They love it too, long may it last!

Good to hear things weren't as dire as thought. That metric system will get you every time!

Started weighing Mickey after his eating issues the other week. He went from 2.1kg to 2.5kg in a week (April 18-25). He will be 16 weeks exactly on Wednesday so I'll weigh him again then. Wouldn't be surprised if he has packed on another couple hundred grams. He is eating well now!

Hi Goldie,

Its great you are getting along with the Applaws food. I have a quick question though as I have been getting the odd tin of Applaws wet kitten food for my boys as a treat but have found that the food has changed in its look and wanted to see if you had the same thing. I have attached some pictures of what I am getting when I open a tin of Applaws and it is far different to how it used to be and the food at the bottom of the tin is a different colour!! It looks like it is actually off and I really don't want to feed my boys this if it is off, so does your applaws look like this:
