My kitten is skinny, eats a lot, and acts weird. Is this normal?

Question

my kitten does this weird thing where she twitches, and jumps around, she’ll stand on her two back legs and look like she’s grabbing something (nothing is there). she also is super skinny but is constantly eating. is all this normal?

It sounds like she is just playing when she does this. Kittens tend to be very hyper and sometimes will do odd things. The fact that she is really thin is a little concerning. If you haven't already, I would have your vet do a wellness exam on her and make sure she doesn't have any intestinal parasites. Your vet will be able to tell you if she is a normal "lanky" kitten or if she is too thin, I hope this helps!
