the one kitten i have left still here from the rescue is about 10 weeks old now. Hes healthy, energetic, and loving. but he seems as he grows to be a tad thin.

He eats Felidae dry, and wet 2x a day. Is there any way to fatten him up a bit?

Beandip looked thin at that age. I think it's just because his legs and tail got realllllly long all of a sudden. He's still a long lean boy but he filled out some.

LOL, yeah I know what you mean. I was trying to find a good pic of Bean standing up, but this kind of shows what I was talking about. He was probably about 4 months old at the time...

and that tail! There's more hidden under that pillow. It was funny.

Dugan will probably grow up to be a big boy.

My Sophie was the smallest in her litter and it took a while for him to get bigger, but now his muscle strength amazes us everyday!

Maybe sometimes it just takes time.
