How much more growth?

Spike is 9 months old and I'm just curious how much more growth I can expect out of him. He currently weighs 9 pounds.

Some cats don't fully fill out till 2 years, or even 3.

My Tomas is a year old now and still looks like a kitten...a somewhat heavy kitten.

If you've seen Spike's parents, preferably the father, that might give a good idea what his full size may eventually be.

If he continues at the current rate hell be 12-15lbs... most kitties grow to 18-24 months ... then there is Zoey who didnt slow till 2.5

Great, Oscar is a huge big long lump already at just approaching seven months - he's going to be HUGE! Actually, I have an idea that I might have seen his daddy - there's this really muscly chocolate tom cat that passes by our garden sometimes and the kittens mother is on friendly terms with him...

Depends.... Abys get done growing around 18 months, Maine Coons around 4 years, Singapuras 12 months. It's all relative. If he's gonna be a big dude, he'll be done by 24 months I guess

Thanks. I figured he was going to get bigger, especially when I weighed him and all of the other cats... he is already bigger (taller, longer and heavier) than all of the adult cats!

I got Riley at 6 months and he weighed 6 pounds. He is now 11 months and weighs 11 pounds. Hopefully he will stop gaining a pound a month at some point in the future!

To me he still has a kitten'ish look, but I don't know how much bigger he will get.

Knowing what breeds might have gone into the cat is a tremendous help. I keep a couple of breed books around, and I've learned many distinctive signs; it's amazing how many mixed breeds nonetheless have distinct breed indicators.

Currently I have cats who look like a Norwegian Forest Cat, Maine Coon, and Tiffany, even though it's equally obvious they are mixed breeds. But this has been a big help in understanding their behavior and their needs.

Here's a breed resource on line:

And, of course, each breed has at least one Fancier site.

Smaller breeds of cats would be more/less full grown at 12-14 months. Medium breeds 18-24 months and larger breeds up to 3-4 yrs.

Most cats would fall in the medium range, so you can expect another year of growing and filling out.

Charlie still has up to 2 yrs old to be fully grown and filled out. He's 15 months old now

I would say he'll be a pretty good 13 - 15 pounds.

I just had to share that Smudge is 1 1/2 years and weighs 15 pounds. He is expected to grow until he is 4!
