    My two year old female is only about 14 pounds, she's thin, but sleek and slender. We can feel her bones but it doesn't seem to be at all unhealthy. She's a stark contrast to her brother who is 24 pounds andy solid as a rock. Hope your boy is fine, and that he make up is just the same as my girls!

    My maine coon boy is 14 lbs at almost two years. He is a little bony too, but the vet didn't seem worried. She said that he will probably fill out a bit more in the next year or so as maine coons don't always reach their full adult stature until a bit after other kitties. Just make sure everything is ok at the vet

    Bit late, but what do you give him to eat? Sometimes it helps a lot to give the cat good meat..ore good can food ..and as much as he like. And sometimes a MC is very slim and small..look at the parrents from your cat...if they bin small...most of the time the offspring is not big.

    And a other note...DNA for HCM tells you nothing..its not sure the cat never get HCM ...its a little part of dna what they found and they must found a lot more dna parts to get a full DNA result. Of the breeder told you that he can get no HCM than the breeder is not telling you the truth
    Beter buy a kitten who's parrents get the ultrasound ...it's also not sure but if the breeder test this every 2 ore 3 years with the cats/...you bin more sure that they have no HCM signs than with the DNA I hope you can read my english and understand it
