Morning

I dont intend to keep with the biscuits but while they are underweight they are having a hadfull a day I have brought Orejen they wont eat them out of a bowl but if you put them on a surface they do

I am just sat here watching them eat a handful and D-de dosnt chew them

She is shovelling them down like a toddler with sweets

Is this normal behaviour? does anybody else's cat do this?

Yes, totally normal and in fact one of the main reasons why the argument that kibble helps with dental hygiene doesn't wash. Most cats swallow them whole or crack them in half - definitely no chewing (or tearing, which would be the more appropriate action for a cat).

I thought that when she was doing it so much for the cleaning of teeth.
You know when I took the kittens for their first jab and he weighed them not once did he mention to me that they were underweight and how or what i should be doing to build them up

It was only the good support and advice from here that made me fully aware of how small they were and the best way to bulk them up


He did however give me 2 small sample bags of hills biscuits!! and reccomend that all i feed them is that. Can you imagine if I held him to that with them being so small I can't bare to think where i would of been with them and their weights!!

I weighed again last night (god i am becoming obbsessed) DD has now put on 210 grams since last Tuesday and Dotty 160gram

They are sleeping more I think because they are permenantly full
but they feel so silky and Dotty is catching up width wise (not length yet )

I am just praying they dont get used to this 2 hourly feeding and expect it when they are big
