Penny has FIV, so I don't know if that will affect her ever gaining weight?
Anyways, she weighs around 7 pounds and is very petite and scrawny. I'm thinking around 9 pounds would be how much she needs to weigh. How do you get a cat to gain weight? I'm currently feeding her 1/4 cup of dry food (currently feeding Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck flavor) in the morning and evening and a portion of canned food (brand and flavor varies) at lunch time. She almost never finishes anything. She'll occasionally get treats (such as little tidbits of meat).
I've tried offering her little pieces of raw meat and she never really seems to like it. My goal is to eventually get her (and the other two) on a model prey raw diet. I'm hoping that will maybe help her gain weight.
