I am really not trying to tell you what to do but if Max was one of my kittens I would be at the vets today without delay.

Good luck and please keep us updated.

I weighted Max earlier and he was just about 5 kilos...he's 15 weeks old. Millie is just about 3 Kilos...

Hi I'm by no means an expert but reading what I have on here about kittens weights that sounds abnormally heavy? :shock:

Are you sure thats correct?? I really would get max seen by a vet asap.

Here is some idea of adult bengal weights! If ive done this right!

Im sorry but you should take time off work and get the mite to the vet now!!
That belly is defo not normal..
or get the vet out to you..
He is far more important than a few hours at work..
Sorry guys - just my personal opinion

I agree with everyone else, please take Max to the vets ASAP, Or, as queenb suggested, you could even call the vet out to you. :?:

Max doesn't look like a very well kitty.

The rotund belly, and the lack of energy for a 15 week old kitten, is most certainly not normal.

It might just be a harmless build-up of fluid or something similar, but until he's checked out at the vets and you know for sure, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Best of luck - please let us know how things go xx

P.S My OH works nights so i know how difficult it can be working around them! x

There is no way those weights can be correct - my Snow Boy Teeko is 8 months old and he is a Big chunky boy weighing 4.9kg.
