I know what you mean. When we took in our first cat, a MC mix that was stray in the neighborhood, we thought he was enormous (and so did the neighbors). However, he was just under 14 lbs and a very solid/muscular guy, so really not that long/tall. Given that our one year old "baby" is already 19 lbs, Karma really was quite small as male MCs go. I now think our girls look just normal and they are as large as Karma was (though nowhere near as muscular). Only 22+ lbs Remy looks large any more, and really not that large (of course picking him up is another matter--yikes).

I know what you mean. My two have just turned one year old and they look normal to me, but compared to other cats they are giants.
If I remember rightly MCs continue to grow for the first three years?

We were just reading the feeding instructions on the back of a food pouch: "2 to 3 pouches should be sufficient for the average 3kg cat...."

Hmmm, had our 6 month MC kitten, Tilly weighed at the vets last night. 3.3Kg!!

It’s the same here with us, they look normal until you see another cat next to them.

What a beautiful cat!
