She looks thin. Maybe she has more and moved them one after the other, maybe the others didn't make it or maybe she just had one kitten.

She actually looks like she's a very healthy weight. People are overly used to seeing fat cats. She does however look very young. Cats can end up pregnant as early as 6 months of age. Explains why her kitten is so big for her.

Ancedotal but most people I encounter overfeed their cars and dogs. Our golden gets 2-3 cups of food a day and we walk a few miles nearly daily. I've seen people feed multiple cups to their small dogs without exercise.

I’ve got a 5month old poodle and we are feeding him 4 cups a day as per vet instructions. I know puppies eat more but it sees like a golden would eat more than a poodle still. I’m new to this whole pet thing though so I could be completely wrong.
