Hello! Bobo is a tricolor, shorthair kitty and I'm his mom!

[Bobo's Mommy]

Hii!
I'm new here and I'm a first-time cat parent. My kitten, Bobo, is a little over two months old. I come here a lot when he gives me jump scares and I just decided to join in!
I have a question
Bobo is getting slimmer, longer, and taller. I'm a tad worried as he used to be a chubby baby. He is eating as normal and playing like crazyyyy. You all are now his Aunties and Uncles so is this growth pattern normal?

Hello and welcome to TCS. Congrats on being a first time cat mom. Bobo is adorable.

As for his slimming down, as long as he's still eating normally, and playing, and basically acting like a kitten, it's probably all normal. Just make sure you always have food out for him, as since he's a growing boy, he can eat as much as he wants. Once he's around 12 months old, then you'll want to keep a better eye on the amount of food he eats.

Welcome to you and Bobo! What a cutie, and yes, they do tend to go through a lanky phase, just like most kids do.

to you and the adorable Bobo. As others have already said it's normal for them to have these upwards growth spurts then fill out again. He looks purrfectly fine to me.
