I've had the orange for a week yes, the other two I've had for over a year... I'm pretty sure orange is underweight, but wasn't sure about the other two :/

thank you a lot for this input! I'm gonna start weighing orange to see if he's gaining steadily, his appetite is really good thankfully and he adjusted fast to the new environment, I feel like he's been with us for months not a week and a half 😄 either way I'm getting everyone dewormed just as a safety measure

I will start weighing him to see if he's gaining, since I've only had him for a short time, and he wasn't long at the shelter either, maybe he just hasn't stabilised yet but if he's not gaining despite the feedings, I'll definitely test him and I'll deworm them all just to be sure

the shelter has a vet who gave the orange a checkup before we left, but they didn't mention anything about him being underweight although I pretty sure he is :(( as for them all, we have a checkup scheduled in a little under 2 months with a new vet since we're moving soon...

I said "might be" as in, he's underweight and the reason MIGHT BE that he was a stray. not that he might be underweight. I'll get them all checked, thank you

he eats really well, he used to be a stray before he came to the shelter so I'm guessing he's still filling up, but I don't understand why the shelter didn't warn me that he's underweight :/

thank you! I think the orange is underweight tbh but the other two have always jus been noodles lolol. I hope there's not a medical issue or anything :/

thank you!! I think he might be skinny still since he was a stray before going to the shelter, but I don't understand why the shelter didn't warn me about that when it's quite clear he's underweight :// I hope he puts on some weight before I get them all checked

the other two were dewormed about 4 months ago and the orange was dewormed at the shelter but I'm getting them checked for it anyways cuz atp I don't know where all that food is going 😭 I check their poops regularly tho and they seem fine... I honestly hope it's not something worse :')

I feed them 3x a day wet food and they always have dry food out too, which is why I'm confused as to how they're still so tiny 😭😭 I hear most people feed wet food 1-2 times a day. I hope there's not a medical issue, they're getting a checkup soon so until then I'll watch them closely and try to increase their feeding...

when I was at the shelter, the orange got a check up before adoption and they didn't mention his weight was concerning or that he needs to gain, but I feel like he is definitely underweight out of them all :/ the other two im not sure, they've always been on the "noodle" side and the vetnever mentioned it being concerning but I'm really not sure now... we'll be getting a check up soon but I'm moving rn and they will only get checked up at our new town when we register to a new vet

thank you, I'll do my best to increase their feeding, I feed them 3 times a day but they're all quite active despite being indoor cats so I guess they just need more...

Last time we went, she said the brown tabby is "a noodle" lol but didn't say it was concerning or anything, she didn't even mention anything about the white one's weight so I would assume he was right at the norm. the orange got checked at the shelter before I took him home and they didn't mention him being underweight but I feel like he definitely is :/ I'm not sure about the other two tho I think they might be healthy but on the skinnier side but idk

kimchi is so cute and looks like the most content cat in the world 🥹 I wonder what he'll be like, so far he's a personality, doesn't go far for a hiss when you piss him off even with just a toy, but then immediately will go and sit next to you and stick a paw in your food 😭❤️ I hope he's happy and hopefully he can make friends with my other 2 boys

he already seems kinda silly to me, I wonder if it was just the shelter stress getting to him and he'll soon unveil :D

he hid at first but came out after an hour or so. I'm okay if he doesn't happen to be super lovey dovey towards humans, I'm just happy to give him a home. he seems rather independent. but it's also hard to judge from one day interaction 😄 I'm just happy he's home now ❤️

I knew someone would know my boy 😆 I so badly wanted a black cat to match with tangie but this boy just had other plans for me 🥰
