I got my cat in December from my exboyfriend. When I got her home, she was tiny (about the size of a roll of toilet paper, from head to butt), considering he told me they'd had her for over three months. She (and two other animals) had been left alone in his apartment for two weeks with only a few pieces of raw chicken from their freezer thrown down for them, she was greasy and apparently had never cleaned herself before I took her in, and they had never even named her!
According to the vet in January, he said she was at least 7 months old. I couldn't believe it -- not only was she quite small (probably about 3 pounds), but she hadn't gone into heat yet. But the vet checked her teeth, and sure enough, they were her permanent ones.
Does anyone else have a 9 month old cat who hadn't gone into heat yet? She weighs 6-7 pounds now, all those minor problems have been solved, she eats properly, has lots of toys she likes to play with, sleeps enough. Is this very unusual? The vet didn't find anything wrong with her in January, do you guys think she's okay?
