Thread: Weight

I don't think weight is the most important thing although with a MC it seems to be expected.How big is the average MC ? A lot depends on the breeding lines & at the end of the day we are looking for good breeders who do the best by their breeding lines & produce loving healthy babies.When I collected my red & white boy the breeder said he wouldn't be heavy because of his breeding line but he is a very tall long bodied boy who has never weighed over 7kg & he is now 8yrs old but when he walks in the room he makes his presence felt, but the at the other end of the scale I have 9kg & 10kg boys,one two yrs & the other 6yrs both from another breeder but her original breeding queens came from where I got my first boy. I don't really think overall size does always come into showing,it may help but if a smaller cat has got more better points for the breed I know we have very often stood on the sidelines & commented on the fact that it proves "Size doesn't always count....!" Holding a 9kg plus cat out for judging is no joke so now hubby is taking my boy out for me & I have taken on his boy who is brother to mine but weighs in at only 7kg,bliss but he is also doing pretty well bless him.
