Thread: Moving on to adult food!

But like the others said, there is not a whole lot of difference between the kitten and adult food. Or is that just for the premuim foods? Hmmm... Has anyone compared cat vs kitten for the lower priced brands?

Hes 7kg and chuffing huge at 10 months old, defo not on the small side
Here he is at around 9 months old! Need to get some updated pics of him, hes really started to mature now.

Well I tried my best to measure him but he just wanted to eat my tape measure

I'd say he was around 43inches but that was measuring tail, back then head and adding the guesses together haha

I did manage to get lots of pics though! I'll upload them when I'm back home later, he's just lost all of his long winter fluff and looks like a giant kitten again

I did get the boyfriend to try and help me measure him (he thinks I'm going crazy measuring cats lol) and it was around 43inches again but my tape measure is only 40 inches long and he kept scrunching him self up trying to get at the tape measure, maybe it'll be a bit easier when hes older and more obedient ( I can dream right?? )

Mine started off long at a young age. But I don't think his has changed a whole lot. Dunno... We will soon see.

1 1/2 inches to go? That'll be a week or two at this rate!!
