Thread: First vet visit

They certainly do put on weight in spurts, and yours is not yet at what I would consider the peak growth period based on our last two males. The peak seems to be from like 5-7/8 months. During that period, our males ate like every hour (except when asleep). We had never seen cats "wolf down" food like they did. Our 7+mos. old just exploded between 6 and 7 months--put on 2.5lbs--and much length. Interestingly, we have noticed a dramatic drop in his appetite over the last couple of weeks now, so apparently the really fast growth is over. He actually now turns down food unless it is the right flavor--i.e., he is a normal cat. Seems so bizarre after a couple of months of eating anything and everything (wet food wise). Feeding was so simple--except for its frequency.
