Overweight ragdoll kitten?
Hey fellow cat lovers, we’re bringing home our 7-month-old Ragdoll kitten next week after his neutering, and we’re so excited! He’s a stunning boy, but we’re a bit concerned about his weight—he’s already 5.2kg, the breeder mentioned that the vet said he “wasn’t too fat for his age” but this seemed very vague, and while we know Ragdolls are big and fluffy, we want to ensure he stays healthy. His breeder mentioned he loves to eat and doesn’t exercise much, so we’re worried about potential obesity. Does his weight sound normal for his age? How can we encourage healthy habits, especially since Ragdolls tend to be lazy? Also, any tips for helping him recover smoothly from neutering and adjusting to his new home?
