My cat is really skinny, is that a health problem?

She is a female part simese, that weighs 4 pounds. We found her laying on the side of the rode in the rain. The doctor says nothing is wrong with her, but i have my doubts.

how old does the doc think she is? did he run a fecal test to rule out worms? bloodwork to make sure all her blood levels are normal? if she is a stray, then it may take some time to get her weight up…if she is young, then put her on a kitten diet for extra calories and protein, if she is old, then ask your vet..or consider a second opinion

She may have worms…but simese aren’t very big anyway. So maybe you should try to feed her a bit more, but she’s most likely fine.

my cat got skinny out of no where….then he started drinking alot he was just diagonsed with kidney failure…4 lbs is very unhealthy and underweight, but then again you found her outside…hopefully she starts to gain weight if not then get some tests done…
