Thread: How big is your Coon?

I am quite surprised by the sizes,
I thought they took 4 years to reach eventual weight and height, ours is 11lb now at 9 months and it seems that she is not far off fully grown considering the replies on here,
I presumed she would keep going - do you think she will slow down quite a bit now and just fill out?
Does anyone know the average size of a female maine coon fully grown?

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

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!
