Hmmm...

So as you all may or may not know, I have a 2 and a half year old kitty named Keropppi.

So, Keroppi has always been a pretty fluffy kitty but never been a fat kitty.

Well, I've noticed he really is pretty skinny. Like I can feel a lot of his bones and things.

He eats, poops, sleeps, and does everything else like a normal, healthy kitty.

Should I be worried?

I feed him wetfood and that seems to put some weight on but also I have to suffer with smelly poop.

Any suggestions?

I do free feed my cats and they're all pretty healthy. And Keroppi is really fluffy so he looks bigger than he actually is. I can feel all of his ribs and his hip bones and his spine.

I don't think you should be worried unless kitty is clearly LOSING weight or isn't healthy. If he's lethargic or shrinking, yeah. Otherwise he might just be comfortable at a skinnier size. There is genetic diversity, and some members of any species are just skinnier than others. If you're worried, take him in, but really if he's been happy as a clam at that size for two years, probably nothing is wrong.
