I adopted my two kitties a couple months again from the Humane Society. They claim their birth date is April 9, 2015. They were acquired by the Humane Society on or very close to May 6, 2015. They were weighed on May 7, 2015: the girl weighed 354g/12.4oz, my boy 356oz/12.5oz. They were spayed/neutered on June 16, 2015 and weighed 1,043g/2.3lbs and 1,179g/2.6lbs. I adopted them on June 23, 2015 making them nearly 11 weeks. I weighed them the next day June 24, 2015 and they only weighed (girl then boy respectively): 1,190g/2lbs10oz and 1,247g/2lbs12oz. So I figured they were younger than 11 weeks and more closer to 8 weeks. However they were severely infested with worms which could have contributed to the low weight. Well I weighed them yesterday on September 2, 2015 and they were 3,175g/7lbs and 3,401g/7lbs8oz. How old are they really? I'm more wondering how they old and if their weight is on tract for medicine and diet reasons. They don't look overweight and if you guys want pictures I can happily share them. They have had a steady but quick growth rate at about 1.5-2lbs a month. I feed them grain free, low carb wet and dry. They play with 2 other kittens that are supposedly older (according to the shelter) but are and have been smaller by 1-2lbs. I've been figuring the weight is muscle weight. However it would be nice to hear from others if they are on the right tract and how old they might actually be. My cats were listed as domestic shorthair/cross, but I suspect they are some sort of Bengal mix, not anything significant but something. Thanks in advance!
