The best way to fatten up a cat that is recovering from an illness is to feed her kitten food. Don't over feed her as you don't want her to gain weight too fast - that can be too hard on her system. Kitten food is high in calories that is why it is good. Canned or dry food is fine, whatever she likes. At one month old kittens will often start eating canned food if you offer it to them. The more you can get them to eat, the less they will nurse making it easier on mom's system. I hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to ask! Best wishes!
