If they are sneezing and have runny noses they could have a small bit of cat flu - they can still get a mild dose even when vacinated - the stress of moving can set this type of thing off. If you are worried or they get worse a quick pop tot he vets would be worthwhile. WHen we got Mnnii she had horrid eyes, caused by the chlamydia jabs and the stress of an 8 hour journey to get to us, poor lass.
It might be that Rocky isn't too keen on dry food (sensible cat IMHO), I always feel you can't really overfeed kittens at this point they are growing so quickly. I'd give him more of the wet to encourage him to eat and put on a bit of weight, as the boy he should really be the bigger of the two even at this age. Just noticed that Rocky is only 12 weeks (he shouldn't have been sold on until 13 weeks to comply with GCCF guidelines) - when was his last jab? Ah, but noticed on the website that breeder only registers individual cats on request.
Let me know how you get on.

They've had 2 vaccinations each, but I don't know exactly what for. The 2 labels under their primary vaccination details both say PUREVAX RCP MERIAL.
I'm taking them to see the vets anyway today for the first time for an initial check up and advice on microchipping, neutering etc. So I'll see what they say.
I think I will take your advice and give Rocky more wet food to fatten him up.
Is it 13 weeks for GCCF? I thought it was 12 weeks.

They are both registered with GCCF, I'm just waiting for the registration documents to be sent on to me as they did not arrive in time. My breeder made a few mistakes in the application.
