Hiya everybody,
I have a question which might sound very silly, I don't know. I have a 4 months old kitten ( :Luv:). We had her when she was 2 months old, and between 2 and 3 months, she pretty much doubled in size. But she now looks exactly the same as a month ago.
I noticed it because I spent about 3 weeks in France with my family, leaving the cat with my partner, and I expected her to have got much bigger when i got back, but she was exactly the same! She eats and does everything normally.
I started to worry because the vet told me he would spay from 5 months old if she was close enough to her adult size, and thinking about that made me realize how tiny she was. But then again i don't know how big a 4 months old kitten is supposed to be!
I took her to the vet for her vaccine when she was 12weeks old, and he found her very healthy and energetic. She weighed about 1.5 kilos.
Am I just being silly? Can it be normal for a kitten to double in size in a few weeks and then stop growing for a bit? Am I rambling too much? (probably, lol)
photographic evidence!
Mia a bit over a month ago:

So, what do you think?

I would imagine kittens, like kids, have growth spurts. They don't seem to change very much then all of a sudden you think .. Wow you've grown.

Mia looks gorgeous and has a bit of growing to catch up with those ears. :rofl:
Obviously has a good taste in books though :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I agree with Sam - definitely growth spurts.
Beautiful pussy - and I love that duvet where did you get it from?

My partner's friend's auntie rescued a pregnant female. She lives on a farm in east lothian so Mia was around tons of cats and dogs and other animals, which is probably why she's so laid back and friendly ;D

Ok, good! I knew it was probably silly but i was a bit worried there.
Thanks a lot for you help! (except you Gill, you kitten-slagger! :rofl:)
