She is a very nice F3!
However, I stand by my previous statement - her weight may be fine now but she is a growing girl...

Fear? Whereas it's not in the breed standard, I'm comfortable saying SV kittens have no concept of fear.
As for weight, IMHO, let her eat. Look at the energy level. It is way up there, isn't it? If you think she is getting fat, then think about cutting back.
Let's hear it from the other F3 slaves. Are your F3 adults on the heavy side, or are they like most of the rest and tend to be lean and skinny.
My F3's are skinny and they can eat all they want to this day. I never restricted their food from the first day they came into the house.
Our cats are related. I'm willing to bet she will be quite lean, just like her nephews.

This week, I plan to up her food.... Right now she gets Dry Food all the time. I keep that full, and give her wet food once in the mornings and evenings. Right now she is on 3.5 ounces wet and unlimited dry daily.

It just seems that their paws are so small and frail, I try to slow her down... but as you have probably guess, that has not worked... Just a minute ago she fell off my desk, landed on her front paws and when she did she was picking each on up and shacking it off... I know it hurt, but wanted to make sure she did not hit nothing sharp... All checked out, and that did not slow her down more than a 1/2 a second or so... I don't really restrict her food, because she has dry available all day... I have just been regulating the wet.
