Hi there

Mickley is adorable and very handsome :-) I am not surprised he didn't do well on the whiskas as it is effectively the same as junk food with lots of things bulking it up that cats can't digest. I have gone with raw feeding and hi meat content food and no grains and my boys have never had runny or stinky poos and at last weigh in at 5 months they were 3.7kg but at 6 months now I think they are well over 4kg. They do have the sleek body shape but they are essentially the same size as a fully grown cat lol its amazing! One of mine also pretty much has a fully developed bushy tail and it's so gorgeous I can't stop stroking it lol. Keep us updated on how Mickey is doing on the food front.

22 weeks and Mickey is at 4.2kg. The bugger gets as much food as he likes so there was no need for him to chase a bird he spotted outside...

Wouldn't have guessed he could do that with his noggin!

Message from Neevie: "of course there was a need, Pieface! THE BIRD WAS THERE!!!!"
(yeah, you have to admit, she got you there...)

Long time no visit.

Mickey is 9 months in 3 days time.

I will try to grab a photo and throw him on the scales. I'm hoping he will just break through the 6kg/13lb mark :)

He is loading up on the food again lately after slowing down for a while so he may be planning on spurting again.

So I grabbed some lousy phone pics to mark Mickey's 9 monthaversary

On the alert. What is Dad up to?

Showing he can still have a kittenish look to him. "Why am I sitting on this thing?"

Attachment 7682

Talk about scraping over the 6kg line. That is the smallest increment my scale can show!

"Phew! Now I can get back to important things"

The tail on these guys is just amazing. It draws comment from every visitor. He just kind of looks like a lightly built full grown cat at the moment. I wonder what the next 12-15 months will bring sizewise. Currently he is putting away 12oz of wet food and as many Wellness Core Kitten biscuits as he feels like eating per day. Seems to keep him happy enough at the moment...he will break the bank if he decides he wants more wet food!!
