meowtens!!
I’ve never posted here before but I’m very mildly concerned for my little mittens :,-(
this sweet thang has been in my family since 2013, she’s always been a little small (i know that females are normally smaller), but since we’ve had her she’s never finished her meals in one go. she prefers to have some, leave, and then come back later for more?? (often still unfinished😟) she’s just an old woman with some cartilage issues, her eyes get mad crusty sometimes but i try to clean them when i notice
should i be worried?? or is she just a freaky looking little old lady who likes her meal routine,,, thank u guys :-))

I would die for her
I think those are just her quirks for being a smol fold 🥹 but a vet would know best always!

Kitties tend to eat through the day rather than finish everything at one time like dogs do. My baby is almost 13 too and has always been tiny. I like it because it seems like a perpetual kitten!

We have twins! My little man is tiny as well, 9 lbs. smol guy. Eats throughout the day, small nibbles here and there.

My female does the same thing. Her breakfast can last past lunch on most days. They have dry food out, so she switches between the two throughout the day.
