I rescued a himy cat three years ago and she just won,t get fat and I have
tried everthing including a vet check. She eats dry food and some can food
and I am at wits end. Helppppppppp

She is a torti and eats all the time but she stays skin and bones and I
have her on purina kitten and I know these show cats are eating something
to make them fat, but what.

Some cats are genetically pointed at thinness. Do you have a picture of her
you can post somewhere and point us too? For instance, if she looks like she
has quite a bit of oriental in her, it would be natural to be quite thin.

No, they are not eating something special. Try a higher grade kitten like
Wellness. You might try adding a vitamin (some are tasty enough they will
eat them as treats.) Hopefully, others will have ideas. How much does she
weigh?

I use a product called 'Missing Link', it's a powder that you sprinkle on
their dry food. It's all natural & made from high quality ingredients...
Might help. I'm assuming the vet has given a clean bill of health when it
comes to worms?

My cat was half Burmese and was always skinny no matter what she ate. But
she lived to be 21 years old. So I wouldn't worry some cats are built like
that.

I agree, Gini. "Skinny" is better than fat, unless Skinny means
really, really thin to the point that the bones show.
