One should never, ever make their cat "fat". A fat or obese cat is, essentially, a very unhealthy cat. Obesity can lead to many health issues such as Diabetes, liver disease (too much fat in the liver can cause it to fail), lameness and Arthritis, skin problems, and overall a decreased quality of life. A fat cat is not cute - it is life threatening.
However, if your cat is underweight (as mentioned by a vet) and needs to gain a bit of weight or bulk in order to reach a healthy weight, there are several things you can do:
Gradually increase the number of meals the cat gets in a day, and switch to a food that has a very high meat content in it with no grains or corn in (these provide no nutrition to the cat and such ingredients are a main cause of feline obesity). The cat will eat less, but will be full up much quicker as high-quality foods have little or no poor ingredients in. Be sure the cat gains weight very slowly, over several months. Weighing the cat each week will help record its progress, and if any problems occur, can be dealt with easily.
Never give a cat milk or cream; cats are lactose intolerant and can make some cats sick. Specially formulated cat milk will do no harm and has added nutrients in, which could help the cat gain some weight.
If you believe that your cat is underweight, it is ideal to first check with the vet before changing your cat's dietary habits.
