I have a question on the growth patterns of slowly maturing breeds.
Smudge, as you may know, is a Ragdoll
and we hear he will reach his full growth at about 4 years. He will be 2 on Sunday.
So recently, he hasn't really seemed to gain any weight (maybe even lost a 1/2 or 1 pound???) but he seems to be getting really leggy. I know my kids sorta do this - grow out, then UP. Do cats grow in that same pattern? (He's incredibly hyper, so I think that may account for losing a bit of weight.)
Thanks!
