Felicity is about 2 years old, and she's very healthy. She was fixed about 6 months ago, and has recovered wonderfully, she has a good appetite also, but she's not gaining weight! She's only about 5-6 pounds.. but I mean she's TINY!!! Her sides are sort of indented.. you know what I mean..? And she just won't gain weight.. the vet says theres nothing wrong with her, but I'm worried about my baby not gaining weight. Should I be concerned?

My friend has a 3 year old kitty that weighs the same as yours. She's just a tiny kitty!

I have a boy like that. He's not as tiny as yours but he's the smallest and thinest of all of mine at 8lbs. He has a good appetite too...some cats are just small.

My furkid looks a lot like yours, an adult, and also weighs just 6lbs. On the other hand, my other furkids are 12lbs and 15lbs. If your vet has ruled out anything medical (key), then that could just be her normal weight. There's a variety of sizes. I've had friends' adult cats at 4lbs, then a couple of giants at 22 lbs.
