I'm sorry to hear that your kitten isn't as active or gaining weight like his siblings. At 3 months old, kittens are typically quite playful and energetic. Let's explore a few things that might help:

Firstly, it's important to ensure that your kitten is receiving a nutritious diet specifically formulated for kittens. High-quality kitten food is essential as it provides the necessary nutrients for their growth and energy needs.

Additionally, make sure he has constant access to fresh water. Dehydration can lead to lethargy, so keeping him well-hydrated is crucial.

It's also worth considering the possibility of parasites. Even if you haven't used flea and tick preventions, checking for signs of parasites is important, as they can impact both weight and energy levels.

Creating a safe and stimulating environment is another key factor. This encourages your kitten to play and be active, which is important for his development.

Since your kitten hasn't been vaccinated or had a recent check-up, it would be wise to have a veterinarian examine him. This can help rule out any underlying health issues that might be affecting his behavior and growth.

If his condition doesn't improve or if you notice other symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, it's best to consult a veterinarian for a thorough evaluation. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Thank you.
