She is a blue point siamese and she is underweight. She has a very good appetite but cannot seem to put on weight. She is just recovering from a serious illness that nearly took her life and inevitably led to her losing more weight that she could not afford to.
She is now very well in herself and her appetite has returned. I have tried adding rice and pasta to her usual food which she will eat but I was wondering what else I could give her to vary things a bit
She has always been a slender cat even for a siamese. She was weighed the other day and she was 2.8 kgs. I think she must have been the smallest of the litter ad has never grown full size. She is he size of a 12 month old cat but is 4 years old. Her appetite is great, she will eat anything and everything you give her, within reason of course!
Our vet advised small amounts of pasta and rice added to her usual food to increase her carb intake actually. If cats were obligate carnivores then they would not eat the canned food that we give them as they usually only contain a small amount of meat bulked out with all sorts of other crap!!!
