Title: When do cats stop growing???
Post by: carl (billy and baggys dad) on October 04, 2007, 14:37:30 PM

The reason I ask is that our boys are two years old, and are having a bit of a growth spurt. They're eating loads and seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

Erm ... how much longer will they grow for? Baggins is turning into a behemoth  :evillaugh:

Hi Carl,

I'm not sure but, in Frankie's case, I hope it's real soon as he's not so much a large cat as a small puma :)

Cheers

Leigh

Tilly will be two on 28 November and in the last couple of months seems to have had a growth spurt as well, she has always been the smallest and has now overtaken Amber.  She has put on about a quarter of her old size since the summer

Oh dear... Oliver is not yet even 5 months but he is already as large as an average pudgy adult cat, and he is a munching machine!!  Within 2 and half weeks that he has been with us he has grown considerably, too.  If he keeps up this pace for another two years, he WILL turn out to be a lion!! :Crazy:

Leo will be 4 before he reaches his biggest ! Its quite scary as in the (nearly) 2 weeks I have had him he is really changing & growing ! His little face is becoming more 'manly'  :Luv:

yes sofie was a tiny dainty little thing when I got her aged 9 months and I assumed she had stopped growing due to having already weaned her first litter of kittens. Then one day I realised she was almost as big as Bob (who was a large cat). Not sure when she did it but it was an impressive change
