thanks mary...as i suspected..jazz is a 3..gotta get her to eat more..she only weighs 8lbs

 

Out of curiosity, have you taken her in to have blood work done? She could have thyroid problems. One of my cats used to be about a 7 or 8 then over the course of a couple years got down to about a 3 or 4. We had blood work done and found out she had thyroid problems and kidney problems. The pills for her thyroid did help (until her kidneys and cancer got bad).

max and mikey are perfect weights. they are muscular and lean. both weigh about ten pounds.

christopher is solid solid solid. thats the only word to describe him. hes like a football player, or wild cat. low to the ground, but well proportioned. i just took him last week to be weighed. he weighs 12.5 lbs. definitely bigger than my other two, although his size, height and length are really the same. he looks like hes a weightlifter!! lols...

 

that's like Zeus - he weighs more than the Dixie Chick but he's thinner more solid than she is. But he's also a large male

 

That's like Emily (13.5lb ragdoll). You can't feel her bones, but it's all muscle, not fat. Jupiter is also solid (not fat) but not quite as big as Emily. Romeo is still a little thin (maybe a 4) but he's been steadily putting on weight. He was probably a 3 when we got him. And Tennessee is still a bably going through growth spurts so she really fluctuates but she was about a 2 when we got her. She was 6 weeks old and the shelter had her on dry food which she couldn't eat.

romeo is tiny...i remember max when he weighed 2, 3 and 4 lbs. he was so little.

mary....guess what?? RESCUE got four yellow kittens in...all have more than five toes...whats the word?? they are baby zeus's!!!

 

no her vet appts are in august...she is a picky picky eater..she only likes people food..i found one cat food taht she will eat..but most of the time she wants luncheon meats or chicken or even tuna and sardines...i know its bad for her but at this stage i will give her anything she wants so she will eat

 

lynn...polydactyls :y_the_best: those toes LOL they are the cutest lots to watch though cause they usually have an extra claw in there that wants to grow toward the paw

 

Have you tried making your own catfood with fresh meat? There's lots of recipes available online.

no is it expensive...she does eat one kind of cat food...fancy feast grilled chicken in gravy....

i found a flea on her head today...but no where else...and there are none on the boys...hmmm wonder if that is anyting

 

It's not really that expensive. What we did was any time we'd thaw out some chicken or turkey, or whatever we were going to eat for dinner, we'd just thaw out a little extra to use in the cat food.

Booger is definitely on the heavy side. When she was lying on her side, I tried feeling for her ribs and couldn't find em :shock: She definitely has a belly. Her next vet visit is in August and I'm sure he's going to put her on a diet.

 

All 4 cats are 13-14 lbs. Rene and Milo are a 5 and Pumpkin and Monty look overweight. :roll: Their vet said that they are healthy and fit. I think Pumpkin is too fat since she has no will to excercise or play with other kitties. :roll: Monty on the other hand, looks chubby, but excercises all the time.

 

According to the chart, in order from skinny to fattest:
I think Hoggle is a 4, Chieve is a 5, Tiddy is a 6
Bean, Richie, Rhiannon & Bella are 7s. I'm betting Bella was even an 8 a few months ago.
