Hi Darren, don't know anything about British Blues, but they are big cats so may take a while to mature ... Can't imagine they would do a lot of growing after 2 though ...

Here is the one i fostered, for comparison, she was an adult

Hi Darren and  :welcome: to Purrs,

I would imagine your new arrival will be fully grown.  Just one thing we like to refer to our furry family members as either he / she or by their name ... NEVER "IT"!!!  ;)  :rofl:

Looking forward to seeing pics of her when she arrives.

You'll find lots of great advice on here is/when you need it.

Hi and  :welcome: to Purrs!

British Blues are a slow maturing breed and can take up to 4 years to reach their full size and weight!  Your cat may not be fully grown yet as he's not yet 2.  He probably won't grow a lot more in height, but he may fill out and develop some more muscle over the next year or so.
