First HE IS ADORABLE!!
Second, I always find it hard to tell with kittens because they have so much growing to do, and clearly he has BIG paws. He is gonna be big...And he has what looks like is gonna be a bushy tail...
In the pics he doesnt look overly heavy. Is it hard to feel his ribs or spine?

 

Ahhhhh....He's a Cutie!

 

I can feel them, but not as easily! He's just so round around the stomach, it's like a big ball of fat whenever I pick him uo, he might look fluffy but he's not extremely fluffly, he's just chunky.

Should I be concerned if I have my husband feeding him midnight snacks? LOL He's adorable! Loves to cuddle, I also forgot to mention his name, he's Richard Parked, A.K.A. Ricky!

 

he's a lil darling! so good looking!

one of the (many) things i always loved about my mickey was his belly that was so round. mickey was never overweight, but had such a soft round belly from when he was a kitten through the rest of his life.

 

What kind of snacks does your husband feed him? Maybe try to get your husband to feed him healthy cat treats instead. PureBites Freeze Dried Chicken is what I use and the cats love it.

But anyway, he doesn't look fat to me. He still is a kitten and still is growing. Maybe he's just going to be a big cat!

 

What a cutie!

Has he been dewormed? In kittens round bellies can mean worms. It can also mean he's ready for a growth spurt...I've always found my kittens to be little pigs, get fat little bellies and then grow overnight.

 

He gives him ham, tuna, chicken skin... That's a good advice, healthy threats! Ty!

Doodlebug, yes, he's been dewormed. It makes sense, if he's going through a growth spurt, because he wants to eat right after he just ate LOL he's gotten so much bigger these last couple of months as well.

 

FYI Easy with the tuna, its not all that good for cats.

 

I would not worry about a kitten having a big belly, it's perfectly normal. He looks like a normal, healthy kitten to me. I'd watch the human food (not a good habit to get him in), and as long as he's on a healthy cat food diet, he should be fine. And "human" canned tuna is not good for cats!

He looks like a regular domestic tabby to me (kinda like the one in my profile pic actually).

 

I know! I never give him tuna, but hubby is always having sandwiches :sigh: emylyat, he looks so much like yours! I know what to expect now, your kitty is so cute! LOL

 

emylyat, he looks so much like yours! I know what to expect now, your kitty is so cute! LOL

Thank you! He knows it too.

Sharon - Banjo is so CUTE! I love tabbies.

 

My little Tabby boy looked so much like yours SunnyV when he was a kitten...Now look at him! This is Banjo!

 

Banjo has a mustache the same way my Cricket does...(infact one of her many nicknames is MzStache )

 

Aww I'm so glad we got him! Banjo is such a cutie! I want to pet him!

 

SunnyV, has your little guy got a name yet!
And I hope he grows up to be a Big Teddy Bear cat like Banjo is, for you!

 

He is ENORMOUS!!! Out of control. The only hope he has is our world famous kitty spa and fat cat rehab center here in Southern California. Get him on a plane and send him to me, as soon as you can find one with a cargo area big enough for him.

Hurry!!!!

He is SOOOOO cute!!!! :grin:

 

LOLOLOL:catmilk:catmilk

 

We call him Ricky!

Hahaha marie!!! Fat cat rehab center, you crack me up LOL!

 

He is very beautiful and looks perfect size/weight wise. Kittens are eating machines and he should have 3-4 meals a day whilst he is still growing.
One thing to watch though regarding midnight snacks/ unscheduled feeds / snacking .... your hubby may be setting up a future problem if Ricky gets used to being feed in the middle of the night he will continue to demand food at what is a very antisocial hour of the night!
Re cat treats vs human food - a wise thing to do as giving him human food can encourage scrounging off the counter top / your plates etc. Just something to consider. My guys are raw fed and I use Ziwipeak dehydrated raw treats for clicker training etc. They love them and I like the fact they aren't full of rubbish / carbs etc.

 

What a great looking kid. I'm with those who essentially say that a kitten really can't be overweight. Let them eat to their hearts content and don't be concerned with weight until they into 12 months at least.
