      Yeah, we suspect ours actually might have benefitted from some bottle feeding after a while too. He looked big enough when we found him, the vet didn’t have any problem giving him his shots or fixing him. But he had trouble for a little bit after we brought him home eating that us and the vet just chalked up to being half froze to death when we found him. But then he started growing really fast, like faster than any of our other cats did. Didn’t end up that big in total, but he got there really fast. We think he was probably a little too young to be away from his Mom and we accidentally stunted his growth by not realizing he wasn’t off momma’s milk already.
