I have an appointment tomorrow to bring Bastian in to the vet. He's not *sick* perse, but I'm just a bit worried about him as I compare him to Griffin (his littermate). Griffin is almost twice Bastian's size - their breeder said Bastian was the runt of their litter, so I didn't worry too much about that alone. He just seems so bony to me, although he does eat well. (I've been offering him lots of canned food to encourage him to eat well, and he gobbles it up.) He does make these little gagging noises sometimes, but hasn't vomited.
The other thing is that he does not seem to have the same energy level that Griffin has. You would expect a young kitten to be a little nuts and in to everything (like Griffin is), but most of the time Bastian prefers to snuggle and watch the other cats play. He seems to have lost interest in wrestling with his brother, but that might be because he always loses! He will play a bit if I initiate some interactive play with him alone, but not with much gusto.
I'm bringing a stool sample in today so they will have the results when we go in tomorrow. I'm probably just overreacting - he's probably just destined to be a small, timid cat! But I just want to make sure he doesn't have worms or, God forbid, something more serious. Wish us luck that I'm just an overprotective meowmy!
