Hello!
I got a kitten yesterday, I was told he and the rest of his siblings were born on March 28th, I was also told that he was the runt of the litter. His dad is a classic persian and his mom I believe is a longhaired tabby. Before I got him I was told he and his siblings had a bit of an eye infection,they were being given drops for it and its mostly cleared up now, just a bit of darkish gunk but no new actual gunk. He wasn't quite as playful as his siblings and was more cuddly as well.
When I picked him up his siblings were much bigger than him, I wasn't too concerned because he was eating pretty well, but then I googled how much he's supposed to weigh at his age now and then actually weighed him and now my anxiety is having a bit of a freak out. Right now I'm mixing a small amount of his dry food in with his wet food, he only really wants to eat chicken and he really loves the royal canin mother and babycat wet food. I tried to see if he was interested in the kitten formula (I can't remember what it's called) but he was super not into it. I'm going to continue to feed him or at least offer him food fairly frequently.
My biggest concern is that he's just so tiny? He sleeps most of the day, which is probably normal for kittens and when he's awake awake he's bouncing around exploring and playing. I'm mostly just scared there's something horribly wrong with him that I don't know about, or if he's actually younger than they say he was.He has a vet appointment on Wednesday but good god am I anxious lol.
