Age/weight chart?
Is there any kind of Age/Weight chart out there to get a feel for how big a kitten (male or female) should be at what month? I got my girl Tiki at about 16 weeks and she was just soooooo much bigger than Parker, the little boy I just got at a little over 12 weeks. I know they were picked up about 4 weeks apart, but aren't boys bigger anyway? I'm confused.....

The weight is something that you must see by the lines from the kitten.
A good normal weight for a Maine Coon kitten is around 1800gr with 13 weeks for a female, and 2200 gr with 13 weeks for a male. But I personally I want a higher weight.Butthere bin many differences to see, its all in the family When the parrents bin small cats than most of the time the kitten is smaller than the standard.But there are always exceptions.
Example, I have a small girl 3.2 kilograms...she get kittens 5 years ago, the biggest male is now 7.5 kilogram...and the 2 females bin around 4,5 kilogram...the male I mated her with whas also not a big guy.
But the parrents of my girl bin big cats...why she is so small I will never know I think .
A other example, my black girl Scarlett..as a breeding cat she whas 5.7 kilograms...she get 6 litters...all here kittens bin big..all litters have a diffrent father.
Male's easy on 8 kilograms or more...the biggest breed from her is now 3,5 year old and 10 kilograms...his sister who also live with me is 6.4 kilograms.
Scarlett as a neuter is now almost 8 kilograms and more neuter girls from her breed bin 8 kilograms or more.
Some lines only give big cats others give a mix off it...and some breeding cats give small kittens .
I hope you understand this, its sometimes a bit difficult for me to explain in english with the good words
