Hi Everyone,
I was wondering what the weight of your pet MC kitten was at age 4-5 months (and gender)? Chester is our first MC kitty and I wanted to know if he's on track etc. I understand it ranges, but I was curious to see what the range is.

Hi Everyone,

Hi,we have mostly boys & the weight at that age have gone from 3.9kg to 4.60kg.
Our last two though that are litter mates weighed exactly the same as each other through to when they were 10 months old & then one of them started to edge in front & now at 2.5yrs old he weighs 2.5kg more than his brother,one comes in at just 7.10kg & the other 9.65kg & the strange thing is the heavier one just picks at his food where his bruv eats his own & then goes round & clears all the other dishes.I think that is the joy of MC's though,you never know what you will end up with until they are fully mature.
I am sure a lot more people will come back with some more weights for you to compare with but a lot will depend also on the breeding lines of your cat.One of our boys started off weighing 4.40kg at that age but now fully grown he only comes in at 6.90kg but he is very tall & long & is a joy to pick up & cuddle after the weightier ones....
Good luck with your babe & keep us posted.
Freyja's just turned 4 months and weighed about 2.1Kg a week ago. When she arrived a month ago she weighed 1.5Kg so in four weeks she's gained over half a Kilo. I think it's quite varied though, so I don't know how helpful that is!
Louie was 3.2kg at 4&half months old :smile:
We have a male that is nearly two and one that is nearly one. They were around 6.5 lbs (3 kg) at 4 mos. and grew to 8.5+ lbs (4 kg) by around 5 mos. They are now 19.5 lbs and 17 lbs nearing their respective birthdays (both in July). Expect both will end up somewhat over 20 lbs, but not all MC males get that large. By contrast, the bigger of our two females was 6.6 lbs at 6 mos of age and is now fully grown at around 13 lbs. Here is an article I have posted before from a while back where somebody charted MC growth: Size Isn't Everything
Thanks for that NCarver will have to get the tape measure out & see how mine add up....
Good luck with that! It isn't easy to get a consistent measurement--plus all of our cats go after the tape measures. I have done best with the boys lying on their backs asleep (the girls do not ever do that).Quote:

THanks everyone. Chester is 4 months, 3 weeks and he weighs about 3.1kgs at present. I just wasn't sure if there's a 'guide' but it's interesting someone meantioning that their kitten weight doesn't really indicate that they'll be HUGE, big or small (in coonie terms) later in life.
After an interesting few moments with the tape and scales I have Hector and Roxys length and weight, It's a marked difference between the sexes!!!
Hector weighs 3.85kg or 8&1/2 pounds and is 96.5 cm or 38" long, Roxy weighs in at a slimline 2.94 kg or 6&1/2 pounds and is 86.5 cm or 34" long.
Not sure if there should be such a marked difference between brother and sister but males are normally bigger than females!
I did not check the website mentioned so I did them nose to tail tip - Whoops will try to get a paw to paw later!!!!
Larry and Monty are 4 and half months, and they are 2.68 and 2.77 kgs respectively. Haven't managed to measure them yet, the wrigglers! They both like to sleep in the salad bowl, so we get the bowl on the kitchen scales, press zero, and try to get a kitten in it.
:LOL: you will have to get a pic of that :LOL: Louie is on the Wii fit :rofl:Quote:

I need to get Gryfn weighed again.... I'm not sure what he weighs now...
My Edmund was a bit over 5lbs (2.4kg) at 4 months. He's 6 months now and obviously is MUCH larger, but I haven't weighed him recently. I know his current paw-to-paw length is at least 26 inches (66+ cm) (but it IS hard to measure!). I don't know anything about his pedigree though, and based on his size I think he must be at least somewhat mixed, even though he is obviously a Maine Coon in every detail, just not QUITE as huge, but he is already bigger than most any full grown "regular" cat!! I love my bundle of cuddles!
