    I've just heard from the breeder tonight and Gryfn at 5 weeks old is 600grams.

    Does anyone know the average size of a female maine coon fully grown?
    About three to four years it takes!

    Many say about 15lbs max for a female but considering mine is still growing at 14lbs I'm not too sure!

    Just about 1/2 way down the page is an 'average weight' chart. Not sure how accurate it is, but its there

    They definitely slow down. Our older male was around 12lbs at 8mos. and is now 18lbs at 18mos. Our female who is nearing age 4 added around 1.5lbs (<10%) between ages 2.5 and 3.5yrs. They tend to get very long and lean first and then fill out. Our 6mos male's rear feet are just as long as the 18mos old male's. They look in proportion on the older male--the kitten looks somewhat like a bunny (as the older male once did).

    Your girl does sound large!

    Beau just turned 8 years old and he weighs in at 19lbs! And yes, everyone always comments on how huge he is! Even though he's big and heavy, I don't think he's fat. His diet is pretty healthy and we don't give him a lot of treats so he can keep his figure & impress the ladies.

    Our stud boy is 18 months old and weighs about 6 kg, our neuter boy is 6 months old and weighs 5.2kg, 3 of our girls range between 4.5-5.5kg and our younger one is around 4kg too I think.

    Our kittens when they leave us at 13 weeks old are always around 2.2kg so very good sizes

    Just got an email from my breeder to say my kitten was weighed yesterday at 13 weeks and is 2kg. Doesn't mean a thing to me but as long as he is healthy!

    That's a very good weight so you should be pleased with that

    yep this was our reasoning too!

    Lucius weighs 12-14lbs (our scales aren't too clear) and is 6 months old! He's going to be quite a boy! Most people can't believe the size of his paws!

    My Fudge is only 4kg at the moment despite being 19 months old. We are feeding her up and I've been told by the vet that Royal Canin persian food is the best for weight gain. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what would help? She is so lovely but so underweight!
