I can feel the individual knobs on her spine when she sits. I can feel her hip bones when she is standing. I can just about count her ribs.
But she's a little girl, and I just weighed her and she is 9 pounds! Penny is smaller than she is but packed with muscle, and also weighs about 9 pounds.
I know that Ginger is the right weight for her overall body size, as per my vet the last time I took her in for thinking she's too skinny last year,
but she always seems underweight to me!
She gets plenty of food, lots of treats (mostly dried chicken filets that are 70% protein,) 3 ounces of her wet (well, 2.75) at night that she eats most of. She's healthy, bright-eyed, tortitudish, drinks lots of water, good litterbox use - yet she's rail thin, and I mean BONY.
I guess all I can do is continue to stuff her face, while trying to prevent Penny and Ferris from hogging all the food.
