    Not sure how to explain properly w/o a picture,

    My kitten is almost a year old. Really really healthy as the vet said,
    teeth & fur are perfect, big shiny eyes.
    But she's quite thin, & she eats loads of food.

    She was the smallest of her litter, & is quite small in height too.
    She doesn't have worms. I'm not sure of her breed. She's got a small face / head too, her body is very slender

    Just wondering if it's normal for her to be quite thin for her age?

    Are her bones sticking out or is she just slender? By the sounds of things you have had it checked out, so if she is happy and healthy, there isnt much to worry about.

    I have a cat who is perfectly healthy but just more slender then the average cat. I think everyone is just so used to seeing overweight cats that they worry when there cat isnt as big!!!

    The vet didn't think her weight was an issue, I was just wondering as a general query.

    Like if she should be bigger, her bones don't stick out, she's just really small & slender.
