My kitten is just over 4 months old, and he's around 2.5kg. He is the most active little thing, and he's not underfed, so to speak.
However, he doesn't seem to eat much. His appetite is definitely present, he lets me know when he is hungry and begs consistently at meal times. He also seems to love his food, and eats eagerly enough. Usually with kittens, I give them 2-3 wet food sachets (85g) a day and let them free feed off dry food. However, this little guy is eating maximum one 85g sachet a day, and a few bits of kibble. He is toileting fine and consistently, up to date with all vet work including parasite protection.
He doesn't lack energy, he is still growing and a healthy weight for his size. But does anyone have any idea why he seems to eat so little? Is he at risk of being undernourished?
Oh, and to add, I break up his meals throughout the day too, but he is still only consuming one sachet.
