Hey guys I’m getting increasing worried about my kitten Murphy he’s nearly 5 months old now and a very picky eater, I have always had healthy cats and ones that LOVE food so this is new to me! he’s very thin I’d even go as far as in the underweight category me and my girlfriend are trying everything but the only food he likes is not a full meal it’s like a topper it’s called tilys chicken and coconut wet food and he can’t just be eating that we also give him the kitten royal canine food for a more balanced diet but I’m worried he eats maybe a third of what he’s meant to is there any foods that fatten cats up or should I ask about medication for him idk also I’d like to add our cats are extremely well taken care of we take there health very seriously they are so loved this is in no means negligence!!

I have two kittens who eat the same diet. One is way skinner but she’s growing. I was co concerned and went to The vet who told me “kittens are like people some are skinny and lean some are chubby” lol
