My two kittens are about nine months old now. The female, who always has enjoyed her meals, just seems chubby to me. But, at this age and size, it's hard to tell if she's overweight, or just has a stocky build.
A friend was looking at her, and said that her cats (indoors only, never go outside) all bulk up during the winter, and then slim down when the weather warms up. Another friend says that that's because Friend #1 doesn't heat the house, and the cats are forced to put on layers of fat, to so their bodies can keep warm.
I do heat the house. And my kitten has been stocky since she was wee.
Any ideas?
