Thread: Growth Spurts

I think it is safe to say that all MCs are different

I kept weekly records of my two kittens weights (which are on one of my threads) and they do definately have growth spurts from time to time. Despite being brothers from the same litter they have grown in completely different manners and that is with the same food and treatment.

Silver has always had huge paws and grew at an alarming rate and was huge even for an MC up to about 6 or 7 months. Then he suddenly stopped for about a month . This was despite the fact that he seemed to eat the same amount all the time. He has now started to grow again but much slower . Funnily enough whilst he wasnt getting bigger he began to change his cute kitten looks to the fabled MC lion look.
He also had a period of growing longer that if I hadnt seen myself I would not have beleived . He seemed to get longer on a daily basis then that stopped just as suddenly as it started.
He is now about 7.5 kg at 10 months and looks like a small lion .

His brother Nero is about a kg lighter but has grown steadily all the time and hasnt had a growing longer phase. And he eats the same food and more of it. He hast got the "lion look" at all but I am sure that will happen , eventually.
