Fat Jack
Wow I didn't think of that, I think I'm going to call the vet
tomorrow, I have another cat that needs to go in for shots anyway. He
was de-wormed at 3-4 months and he's never been outside, but my other
cats go in and out so it's definitely a possibility, because they all
use the same litter boxes.
There's no way I can't free feed. I have 8 cats ranging in age from 21
years to 10 months and they have always been fed this way, I really
don't think that's the problem.
I'm hoping he's like Matthew's cat and just a big boy.
Thanks

I had a female dsh cat... this sounds very strange, I know, but I had
gotten her from the Humane Society and had her kept up on her shots,
worming, etc...
Well, at six months she was well over eight pounds. She was huge. I
kept her on a diet... But she had worms. After we had her wormed she
no longer had the issue - but then I had also kept her on a diet at
that time as well.
Some people say that kittens should be allowed to free feed.
I warn you because it sounds pretty odd. I would have guessed that
worms would cause a cat to get really skinny.
I apologize too because I do not recall what type of worms they were,
but prior to this she had been dewormed once before.
So, for what it is worth...
