Hi, first of all sorry for the length...
This seems ironic due to the fact my last thread was my big fat lazy cat, but well the thing is I have two cats, at two different houses lol. My first cat Gizzy was out playing in the street doing his usual tart-let thing; trying to get attention from complete strangers and pretending to be lost right outside his house.
So I was keeping an eye on him and one of the people who picked him up said something to the effect of " Oh my God he's so thin, I bet his mistreated the poor thing, it looks like he's never fed!" And this was quite shocking to me. I felt really bad. Gizzy has ALWAYS been thin, just like me and people have made comments on how owners look like their pets sometimes and vice versa... He's nearly 12 and he's been very thin all his life, he was the runt of the litter I think. He eats soo much 2 times a day on wet food for senior cats now, and he always has a bowl of complete dry mix food around the house in case he gets peckish. And with him always being such a tart, we know, we've had phone calls... lol, about how hes being fed at other peoples houses as well.
So he's always eating but never really puts on weight. Hes been wormed regularly so its not that I don't think, and hes always got tons of energy when he actually wants to move and doesn't want to sleep. So hes seems very healthy. Recently he did vomit a foam like substance, but the vet told us that was due to him licking a toad that lives in our garden and that seems very likely! lol and hes not thrown up since then and that was about a month ago.
I'm just wondering He does look very thin and these peoples comments really upset me. Is there something wrong with him? Am I not feeding him correctly? What if they do call RSPCA or something on me, am I going to get in trouble. I've had Giz since i was 7 and I don't want to be hurting him. I just thought that his weight was normal for him.
What do you think
