Ted an Petal

how big is your himalyan and what weight would you say they are and if you have any pics that would be good. was just watching ralph last night and he is very small as well as being thin but i just want to see what sort of body condition he really should be in. thanks
 
I can't get a picture up at the moment though may be able to find one in a minute on here but Riley was always very slender and sleek and would look like he was underweight. They remind me a little of oriental type cats (like siamese) who always seem to feel thin and fragile to the touch...very lean to look at.

hmmm well maybe ralph looks normal then, the pics of ones on the internet aren't very good and they look alot bigger than ralph. i love his fine legs, i tend not to lift him cos he feels so fragile to carry into the house. i've been very used to ted and petal being so chunky too. if you could get a wee pic up that would be excellent sooz :thumb:
 
hmmm well he does look a little fatter than ralph. he's very lovely by the way and he's got ickle white paws. we ralphs are black.
here's a pic of ralph does he look normal to you?

Riley was mis-marked.
Ralph does look a little thin, is he still snuffly? Most of my snuffle-buns struggle with weight maintenance.
 
yeah he is, he has improved, the warm weather seems to really get to him. he just has the odd white snot. hopefully in time he'll but some weight on, hopefully. thanks sooz.
