Weight Concern- Bobtail Female Calico

Your female does sound terribly small...can you check with her breeder as to why that is so? If your vet is okay with spaying her now and if she is healthy, then there's no reason to wait, just go ahead and make the spay appointment!

I plan on making the appt for next friday. I did not get her from a breeder. There are a small set of apartments by our home and people move in and out and leave their animals behind. This litter was rescued by me after the mother abandoned them in our barn. I lucky had another set of kitten I had taken into my home and had a nursing mother cat that nursed all the kittens from both litters. So other than my concern for her weight and size she is a great kitten. Plays and eats well! Just didnt know if some breed of kittens were very small at this age but her being a bobtail I didnt expect her to be so small. I am almost sure the father is a very large bobtail that had been abandoned and the only adult male I had trapped so I supect he was the father of both litter but I know other male cats can travel great distances to breed.

Well, if she's healthy, then she must have gotten the small gene from mommy!

Go ahead and spay her!!!

Bless you for picking them up and for getting them done!
