Default Is my cat too thin?

I haven't had a cat since I was a pre-teen so my memory and attention to their weight issues is simply not available.

Touhy is now four months old and has already passed up all the yorkies in height. She has long legs and a long body but she looks skinny to me. Is she just growing quickly like an adolescent child?

She has Purina Kitten Chow available all the time and I see her going to it several times a day. She also gets 1/3 of a can of 9-lives three times a day. She has been known to sneak over and eat some of the dogs' Blue Buffalo too so I really think she is eating enough.

She is really high energy too. I don't think I have ever seen a cat run around, jump, play, and get in to things as much as she does. She just doesn't seem to have a slow speed. It is either go go go or sleep. Is she burning off all the calories she eats?

One last question - when is a cat considered an adult. I don't want to keep her on the Kitten Chow if she is too old for it. I know she isn't too old yet but I'm curious.

We plan on getting her spayed very soon so I suppose that will help put on weight as she will have to slow down for a while.

TIA
