Do you have any other photos of her body? Can't tell with that photo. She's definitely cute!

What does your vet say? She looks pretty healthy in the pictures as far as I can tell. Kittens at that age get pretty gangly, they are growing so fast

A 4 month old kitten's body is going to look like a pre-teenager, the dimensions you see when they are smaller kittens changes as they get bigger, during the first year kitty will continue to grow yet not look appropriately proportioned until the major growing slows.

As long as there is a healthy appetite and kitten is active and interacts with you and family often, you will see there is nothing to worry about.

Feed good quality foods, and plenty as she is a growing kitten, and as long as you don't see any change in appetite, it's simply growth spurts.

I'm with cat woman on this. When my kitten was 4 months old, he suddenly went from chubby to long and skinny.

How much does your girl weigh???

I've heard a pound per month is about right and that as adults they shoukd weigh 2x what they did at 4 months.

It's probable that she will end up 8-10 pounds which is quite normal really.

4 months is an average of 4 lbs, so she is right on target.

Actually the forum this thread should be in is health. No harm done :)
