So I think I've got two giant breed kittens. I read that birth weight should be about 100g and they should gain 10g per day after that. Well yesterday the "runt" had a birth weight of 120g, the other one of 133g. Since then the runt has put on 38g to weigh 148g, and the other one 31g to weigh 164g. I assume I shouldn't be worried though, better than not putting on weight! I just thought it was funny, my little giant kittens lol.

The fewer kittens in the litter, the more they are likely to be large at birth and put on weight rapidly. Up to a point, that is.
