Far out! When I first got Smudge she was 12 ounces (340g). At one point when I thought she was fully grown, she was a bit under 4kg (9 lbs), and Lily was a bit over 4.2kg. Now Lily is about 4kg, and Smudge, the little fatso is 4.5kg - 10lbs!!!!

Little Stumpy is still only 3.5kg - 7 1/2 lbs.

W/ the best cats
It feels great to watch them add weight as proof of that they are gaining their good health! Four of my cats were so thin when I got them...Now they're a bunch of fatties!

My two youngest kits stay thin...and they can eat almost everything

(and yes they have been wormed!
)

Brandy on the other hand, well, he seems to be getting heavier on the ol' lap when it's cuddle time
(maybe it's the neighbour's food?)

I noticed in the last video that Smudge was looking rather healthy, hehe

Chynna was weighed at the end of March and was 5.17 kg (11.3 pounds), but I think they made a mistake. I lifted a 10 pound bag of potatoes and then I lifted her. She feels more like 5.17 pounds, not 11 pounds. I think they might have gotten it mixed up.

That's so amazing that she used to be so little! It sounds like all your cats are a good healthy weight.
After 2 months away, I didn't recognize my boys when we came back. OMG, they're overweight!!! Pushkin looks obese, he's huge, and put on nearly 2 pounds in the 2 months. Holy cow it's going to take a long time to get them down to a good size again.

Wow! Has it really been that long? I remember when you got Smudge. She was so tiny and awkward. I'm not religious, but I said my share of prayers for her. I'm so thrilled that she blossomed in such a raven beauty!


I think it's so great to watch kitties go from kittens to adults and follow their progress. Even if I never get to meet them I still feel like I know them and do love them as if they were my very own. I have quite the extended "fur family",

Thanks, Smudge loves that she has so many TCS aunts out there watching over her!


It's always so good to see the little ones grow

That's our Bijou as well. He is really, really solid and muscular and weighs closer to 20 lbs. than he does to 10.


Smudge holds a special place in a lot of hearts.

I have a feeling that my lovely little Kitten is going to be obese. It's wierd. She is a Calico, I never see thin Calicos where I come from. at seven months she must already be five or six pounds

Nikita is a lean 11lbs now. She used to be 12lbs and she's lost a bit of weight. Both weights are healthy on her though, she's just very lean now. I'd like her to pack on a bit more muscle, but still better being on the lean side than slightly overweight.

We were running out of names for our 23-lb pudgy puma. Thanks for the list


(he's really not that fat...3 ft long from nose to tail tip)

Sarah, you have some little girlies there! 10 pounds is the biggest?
Smudgie has a special place in my
too.

Ginger is our littlest, at around 7 pounds. Then Ophelia at around 8. Trent is a pretty big boy, and comes in around 14 pounds. Mojo is a wunk-a-chunk! She's not physically bigger than Trent, but she does weigh more than him, around 16 pounds and she's not fat. She's so active, though, it has to be the muscle mass.

Wow, I would never have believed that Mojo was 16 lbs! She's really double Ginger's size??? You need to get them side by side!

Lily and Stumpy are little cats - they are quite bony when I run my hand down their back, but they get good food, and as much as they want, and I know they just have small frames, so I'm not worried.
