Is there some thing wrong with my kitten?

Question

My kitten is 8 weeks old but she is very little my aunt has kittens that are 4 weeks old and she is the same size as them. Idk if she is sick or not i mean she eats all the time and she seems fine. Can any one give me any advice

Answer 1

your kitten is perfectly fine. its normal for some kittens to be born like that and as long as you keep them healthy and happy there is nothing to worry about especially if she eats all the time.

Answer 2

Your kitten is perfectly fine. She was most likely the runt of the litter.  I think my kitten was the run because when she was 3 and a half months old she only weighed 1.8 pounds.  As long as she is eating normally and acting playful, she's allright (:

Answer 3

ya its probably a runt. yo need to feed more than you feed a normal cat though. and like in a few months it will be as big as a normal cat. thats when you start feeding it normally.

Answer 4

Some kittens are just small to begin with.

As long as the kitten eats proper amounts of food, plays often, and gets enough sleep, it's a healthy cat.

It's likely that it's just the runt of the litter, and it'll be a small cat throughout it's life.  

Answer 5

I'd be sure to get the kitty vet checked.  I have had kittens that were little, but not that small.  She could have worms or a myriad of other problems, or she could be normal...wouldn't you like to have your mind relieved?  

Answer 6

well yea it just mite b a runt. just make sure it weighs the proper amount and eats several times a day. if everythings fine, then just make sure to get the regular vet check up.

Answer 7

She maybe the runt of the litter. If a cat has 7 kittens usually one is much smaller then the other ones. It eats more because it needs more to grow. Your kitten seems fine, if in fact that is the only thing you are going on. Besides the mother of one litter could be much smaller. Trust me small Kittens become Large Cats that rule your house. I have 3 now. One I raised and bottled feed. He is huge now.

Answer 8

Every answer you have received is a valid one, but none of us can see your kitten. Its a VERY good idea to have a veterinarian look at your little treasure and start you on a path of responsible care. As a bonus, you will have an informed answer to your question and peace of mind.

And always remember, good things (WONDERFUL THINGS) come in small packages. Best of luck to both of you.
