I recently got two kittens they are not fro the same litter but are supposedly only a day apart. There is quite a size difference between these two that makes me think someone lied about the age. They are both male and 3 months old. Any thoughts?

You can't go by size to determine age. . .one of them may have had better food and care, or maybe the smaller one's parents are smaller, etc. So they may be the same age. When you take them in for de-worming and shots, ask the vet what he/she thinks.

Thanks for your insight. I will do that.

Two of my boys are one day apart. One weighs almost 16 lbs, the other weighs just under 9 lbs! (they are no longer kittens, but we got them at 4 1/2 months, and even then there was definitely a size difference)
