Question
Hi Becky,I adopted a cat from a private cat shelter that takes in strays and does a complete work up on them and fixes them.The cat I adopted is a very short haired orange tabby mix.He is 9months old and weighs 9Lb's I was just wondering when do most cats stop growing.Thanks Randy

Answer
Hi Randy,
Your cat should be just about at his full growth. Cats normally achieve their maximum growth at one year, but 9 months is a pretty good target.  He sounds like a beautiful cat and thank you for adopting him.  There are so many cats out there that need good homes.
