Dunkin is about 1 1/2 years old, he appears to be taller and longer then a few months ago, he also has lost about a pound, He seems perfectly fine, eating good, playing some he's never been real playful actually kinda lazy, he was up to 16 1/2 a few months ago and when I weighed him about 1 1/2 weeks ago he weighd 15.8 lbs.I am going to weigh him again tonight and if he continues to loose weight I will take him to the vet, I was wondering though if when they get a certin age if they just kind of grow size wise and not weight wise, he is not a big eater and does not like many treats at all.

No he's just a big Orange tabby, I just weighed him and he weighs 15.6
He looks to me like a cat who's matureing, his big blubber belly seems to be thinning down, maybe it's puberty
And he was neutered at about 4 months or so

I think sometimes cats, esp males can grow until they are two or so. Maybe he has some main coon in him- some boys are just going to be big and grow up slowly-- just like the human males.

Well I think he's just maybe an Orange and white short haired classic tabby, but he is a big boy with the greatest disposition and the sweetest face and eyes, he looks like he is just growing up, and all of the sudden my hubby and I noticed he isn't shaped like a big bottomed gourd anymore
