Hi! i have a four month old siamese kitten. he is from the spca and not sure if he is a mix or not. he is a lynx point. he has a narrow face, pointy ears, lean body. but his fur is not that of siamese, it is more fuzzy. and none of his features are very "sharp" like you'd expect. anyway, he had trouble with diareah (SP??) in the beginning, but has normal bowel movements now. he has been vet checked and they said he was fine. i'm just worried he looks soooooooooooooooooo thin. he weighs just under 2.5 lbs. is that too thin? he acts fine, he's just such a docile cat, a real lover. but i've never had such a calm cat in my life. i'm just worried something is not quite right.

thanks.

MK

If the vet checked him out and said he was healthy and you trust your vet then I wouldn't worry too much.

I would definitely feed him kitten formula food for at least his first 10 months and up to 1 year. Siamese are generally much slimmer than other cats (our Bijou is the exception at 16 lbs
).

I'll look forward to seeing pictures of your new kitty.
