6 Months Stats
Hi Everyone,
Chester is about to hit the 6 month mark and I"m curious about how your MCs fared at this age/stage - weight, etc... is it an indication of how big they'll be at 12 months? I"m curious because Chessy seems to have growths spurts/weight spurts, but hasn't had one in a couple of weeks. This being my first adorable MC, I just wanted to see what your experiences were like.

Hi
I am not sure that any weight or size at 6 months will show what your cat will end up being. On speaking to my breeder he has stated that he has had big kittens that have not necessarily turned into the bigger cats and smaller kittens that have turned into whoppers.
Zack at just over 6 months was 4.3kg which is about 91/2 pounds, he is a very stocky boy as apparently his father is. He is expected to have some size to him but I think it is a matter of "Hurry up and wait!!" and see what he ends up. I think I sometimes worry he is small but at the vet the other day there was a full grown cat there that was smaller than him.
Sarah is nearly 18 months and she is 5.8kg or 12 3/4 pounds but she is very long and lean. I think she just had another little growth spurt recently. On her vet desexing certificate she was 2.6kg(5.75pound) at 6 months ( before I got her)
Hope this is a little bit helpful

Hello Miss Kitty,
There is no clear answer to your question.
It's all based on genetics and nutrition as well as exercise.
My Rocco's legs were extremely thick and looked very stocky when he was a kitten; hence I thought he'd be HUGE when he grew up but I was wrong. At 6 calendar months he was 4.70kg (10.36 lbs). At 12 months, he was 6.77kg (14.92 lbs).
My Merlin was slimmer, taller and longer as a kitten; at 6 months he was 4.93kg (10.86 lbs). At 12 months he was 10.36kg (22.83 lbs).
I have seen a 4 year old neutered male MC from Japan that weighed only 4.70kg which was the same weight as my Rocco at 6 month old.Proudly owned by:
