Miss Mooni was brought home from the local shelter in July. She had a big belly even at four weeks and she was wormed shortly after.
She is now 15 weeks and she has a flap fat roll along her belly line I generally considered a sign of adults being overweight, since I've only seen it on my older cats, yet none are obese. Perhaps it is something other than that. You can see it in this picture I got today.
She gets premium foods, dry and canned, but I only allow half a small can of food a day and free-feed on the dry which she is not that keen on, so I know she does not stuff herself although if she is at my mother's next door she will get her fill of nasty Friskies canned food and Lactaid milk (cat's love it and get no diarrhea).
She is an extremely active kitten and gets a lot of exercise indoors and out. She is not rolly-polly but solid, squirmy and muscular. The only extra baggage is that inch thick flap along the belly.
I don't have a scale that she will sit on long enough to get a firm weight on, but I am estimating four to five pounds which seems to be on the heavy side for an almost four month old kitten. Will she likely be a large cat when she's done? She has big feet for a little kitty, I call her 'Monkey-toes'.
