My 10-month-old kitten is always hungry and has a big bloated belly.

Question

My 10 month old kitten seems starving at meal times, and I’ve let him eat as much as he wants, however, his belly is big and so I’ve discontinued kitten food and give him adult cat food- wet and dry. He is a big cat, but I’m concerned that he is getting fat. I’ve never seen a young cat look so fat. I’ve tried to cut back on his food, but he cries and cries for more. He seems bloated all the time for 3 or 4 months, but healthy and active otherwise. I’ve started giving him FortiFlora. Anything els.

If he seems to always be hungry and appears bloated then it would be worth making sure he is well up to date on wormer. The fortiflora should help also, and then if it continues to be an issue I would try him on a good for gastrointestinal/digestive issues and see if that helps. Failing that consult your vet in case he has a gut issue.
