I have a 2 year old barn/house cat that we worm as well as her 2 friends.

The
other 2 are pleasingly rounded and Tigger is very skinny, she eats but

never
puts on any weight. What else?


Three possible scenarios pop into my mind:

1) She still has worms, despite what you've been giving her. I'd have a vet
check it out.

2) Despite being young, maybe she's hyperthyroid. (again, a vet check -
simplish blood work)

3) She's simply a naturally thin, yet healthy cat. (if vet deems her to
have no worms, thyroid's fine, no other probs)
