4 month old kitten

15:23:38

Question
Hello, I have a 4 month old kitten and he already weighs 6.3 pounds, I am just wondering if that is normal or if he is going to be a huge cat? He is already almost the size of my 1 year old cat.

Answer
Jasmine,

If your kitten is not fat, this could very well be a normal growth rate for a very large breed of domestic cat (e.g. a Maine Coon).  Look at its feet and it may give some inkling as to how large your cat may get.

Best regards... Norm.
