Hi Guys

I am sorry if this is a silly question but I am pretty new to cats and need some help. Our new Scottish Straight (a fold with out the folded ears) is wonderful and is eating well but the question is when should we see her getting her adult size?

Belle is currently about 4 months old and her mummie was not very big - no current weight for her either

Thanks

Paul

Cat generally reach their adult height by a year old, and may continue to fill out until the age of 2. Bigger breeds take longer to mature than smaller breeds do.

At four months old, Belle still has plenty of growing to do :) [article="32740"][/article][article="22363"][/article]

My not-so-little kittens are now 11 months old and when my son's therapists come for home visits they always comment how they're bigger than the last time.  I guess that means they're still growing.  Or when I skype with my parents they say the same thing.  I don't really notice it anymore.  It has made me wonder when the growing will stop.  The male, Pepper, is already bigger than his father and mother so it can't be that much more.  His sister Pickles has been taking a bit longer to grow but is finally catching up even though she is still daintier than he is.
