My 7 week old kitten is lookig fat around the midrift. I dont think iam over feeding I give 4 meals a day. Should I cut out a meal?

I posted something similar when Tabitha's snuggle-muffins were younger and was asked if they had been wormed. They had and I was advised (I think) that I couldn't really over-feed a kitten as they are still growing and are so active.

My five all went through a stage of being quite plumpious beings but now they are seven months their tummies are smaller in relation to the rest of them, if that makes sense!

I think they need four meals at that age as their tummies are so tiny they can't eat much at once but need little and often - but again, I'm not a breeder so I may have got that wrong.

Thanks anyway, I have just done a 3 day worming paste so that might help.

I'd have said the same as Lumpy,7 wks is a mad stage where everything can look out of balance

yes,just as we humans do...i am just waiting on a growthy spurt and then i should balance out nicely!

If that happened to me I'd be about 12 foot tall

Sounds like humans, lol!
I agree with Saikou it is too early to tell yet, S/he is a growin kitty...

My kitten is 13 weeks old now and had a bit of a pot belly so I took him to the vets last night as I was a bit worried. He's been wormed regularly so after a check up the vets said that he was brobably bloated from the food I'd been feeding him (he's been parping quite a bit recently). (I'd been feeding him on royal canin dry and whiskers kitten wet so she said to try him on 'Hills Perscription ID Diet' for a week or so and see if that helps his digestion. Maybe give that a go too and see if it helps.
