Hello all! I am new to the forum but not new to cats however I am curious as to why my kitten is so large. About a month ago I actually rescued a kitten from from a local rescue. I had signed up for pet finder after my neighbor stole my Siamese mix Hank and dumped him and he was found recently deceased on Dec. 22 (a whole other story but yes she's an awful person). In April I received an email from pet finder with a picture of a little 6 week old black kitten named Hank and I knew I had to have him. We paid for him right away and expected that in a couple weeks we would pick him up but the rescue kept brushing us off and making excuses for why we could not get him. Finally when he was about 10 weeks old and after several attempts they allowed me to pick him up, he had been neutered only hours prior was filthy and had a horrible respitory infection. He was 1 and 1/2 half pounds at 6 weeks and maybe 2lbs at 10.
Now at about 14 weeks he is 5.4lbs and looks like a 5 and half month old kitten.
He is slender but healthy and sporting a shiny black coat and big clear eyes now.
He has the body type of my Siamese mix who looked like a large Siamese cat.
I've seen his siblings and 2 of them have that fluffy kinda lion mane look on the chest and round eyes like main coons and the other 2 look more like my hank with more slick coats and almond shaped Siamese eyes.
If these 2 types of cats have off spring is it possible to just have a big long tall skinny cat? Haha, I am just wondering what to expect with him as I've never had such a young kitten that is so large. Thank you! Here are some pictures of him, he is sleeping on my 4 year old 9lb cat Marley. I have to admit she should only be 8lbs but the combination of the soft food she's been having on account of Hank living here and not spending much time outside because of my crazy neighbor she has put on a little weight.
