Bestimus is one of three kittens that I took in when they were 4 weeks old. He's now 4 months old. He's been wormed, vaccinated, he's negative for FeLV and FIV, and is otherwise healthy, active, and bright. All three kittens had an upper respiratory infection, but it's cleared up now.
But, compared to his siblings, he's tiny! I just saw his brother and sister last night (they live with my sister), they're twice his size! When they left my home, they were all the same size. What's going on? He gets however much food he wants. He's a little on the skinny side in addition to being small, and the vet said I should give him a few more worming treatments just to be sure, but otherwise he can't see anything wrong.
Bestimus gets the same food as my other cats (low-carb wet food - no single brand we stick with) except I sometimes put KMR and salmon oil in Besti's for extra calories. My sister's feeding the other two Friskies wet.
I don't get it! Help me out here.
