I worry enough about Tam as it is - he's thin compared to most cats I've ever had, and so active that he just doesn't put on weight at all. If anything were ever to happen to him...well, I worry, that's all!
I gotta go take my contacts out and get a shower... back in a few.

Don't worry. Siamese look very thin to anybody who's always had ordinary kitties. As long as Tam is eating and active, there's nothing to worry about. If there's muscle in the hollow of the thigh, the upper pelvic bones have a covering of flesh, and their skin has a good refill time when you "tent" it up, they're not too thin. If you want to put a little weight on him, try NutraCal. It's really for hunting dogs, but it's basically vitamins, malt and carb calories. My middle cat has no teeth left, so she tends not to eat enough. I ply her with NutraCal and it keeps her sassy though not really fat.
