Growing question

Thanks for that. Your Merlin was a big boy! Do you have any pictures of him? I can't imagine a cat weighing that much! He must have looked very impressive.

I always thought the average weight of a male MC was about 17 pounds but I can't imagine Simba getting that big even.

Here is a link to the breeder's site showing my Merlin when he was 12 months old.

Merlin is a handsome boy and what a pretty kitten he was too.

Thanks!
Yes, I am very proud of him as well as Rocco. Whenever I have to bring them to the vet, they are always mistaken for dogs instead of cats.
Dogs and their owners at the vet are scared when they see how big Merlin is.

Had the wii out again today, so decided to weigh Harry again, it was 2 weeks ago since I last weighed him and he's put on 1lb in 2 weeks ! 13 pounds now, surely he won't get much bigger will he, I just can't imagine it he seems huge now !

It's funny because I can't wait for Chester to be HUGE, but then I think he's adorable right now as a kitten too! haha

I know, we're the same! Laggs and Monty are 5 months old and 3.3 kgs each - they are the size of an adult cat but still quite kitten-like! They are both developing a fine fur ruff around the neck, and really starting to look handsome. We can't wait for them to be big, but at the same time, it's great the size they are now....
