Hi everyone,
I weigh my cats every few months as they've gotten older and I'm kind of concerned about the weight drop/fluctuation in one on my cats, Malibu.
At 12 months, she weighed 3.8kgs and at 15 months, she is currently at 3.3kgs. Should I be concerned at that sudden weight drop? She seems to get bigger by the day and I flea and worm her monthly and for tapeworm every 3 months. She seems to be thriving, doing her zoomies, eating and drinking regularly etc. She is also spayed.
Could this be just her 'filling out' as she's growing longer/taller/wider etc?
I'll attach some pics of her at 12 months and her today and also the weight chart that I've been recording. Don't laugh, I'm a helicopter Dad lol.
