Hello, I am a new member.
I am the proud parent of a 6 month old littermates,a male kitten and his sister.
My female is slender and trim and my male kitten, while I know he is going to be larger than her is developing a saggy belly that sways when he runs..
Both of them are on a free range feeding with soft food in the evening as a treat.
I know he is still a kitten and believe me his is growing everyday, my question is should he have a belly at this age? If so will he slim out? He gets plenty of excersize and makes me tired watchin him chase his sister around.
I had an older cat who we had to put down after 14 years and she developed a belly when we moved into our apartment,it was smaller and there was not much room to run and play.
We are in a house with plenty of room and stairs to climb.
just wondering what is normal, it has been long time since iv'e had kittens to care for.
Both kittens were spayed/neutered before i adopted them form the shelter, my vet agrees it was too young for them as we only adopted them at 8 weeks old.
They had there first vet visit and shots needed.
Any help would be appreciated.
