How thin are they supposed to be? Can you feel the vertebre on the spine?
I'm asking because I am pet sitting for someone. The cat is newly from the shelter; only been at the home a couple weeks before the owner had a family emergency. She's REALLY thin to me. However, she is pointed, so I thought maybe this is just some foreign type showing? I would think that would get bred out pretty quickly, but maybe it hangs on? Her head is very round though and she has small ears, so I'm not sure whether she should be thin. How thin are foreign types normally? We never had any where I grew up. All husky kitties.
