Thread: Weight of your Coonie at 4-5 months

We have a male that is nearly two and one that is nearly one. They were around 6.5 lbs (3 kg) at 4 mos. and grew to 8.5+ lbs (4 kg) by around 5 mos. They are now 19.5 lbs and 17 lbs nearing their respective birthdays (both in July). Expect both will end up somewhat over 20 lbs, but not all MC males get that large. By contrast, the bigger of our two females was 6.6 lbs at 6 mos of age and is now fully grown at around 13 lbs. Here is an article I have posted before from a while back where somebody charted MC growth: Size Isn't Everything

Thanks for that NCarver will have to get the tape measure out & see how mine add up....

Good luck with that! It isn't easy to get a consistent measurement--plus all of our cats go after the tape measures. I have done best with the boys lying on their backs asleep (the girls do not ever do that).

Here is Verismo Leo who was measured as 48": Biggest Maine Coon Cat; the Largest Maine Coon Cat is Leo, Guinness World Record holder

THanks everyone. Chester is 4 months, 3 weeks and he weighs about 3.1kgs at present. I just wasn't sure if there's a 'guide' but it's interesting someone meantioning that their kitten weight doesn't really indicate that they'll be HUGE, big or small (in coonie terms) later in life.

After an interesting few moments with the tape and scales I have Hector and Roxys length and weight, It's a marked difference between the sexes!!!

Hector weighs 3.85kg or 8&1/2 pounds and is 96.5 cm or 38" long, Roxy weighs in at a slimline 2.94 kg or 6&1/2 pounds and is 86.5 cm or 34" long.

Not sure if there should be such a marked difference between brother and sister but males are normally bigger than females!

I did not check the website mentioned so I did them nose to tail tip - Whoops will try to get a paw to paw later!!!!

Larry and Monty are 4 and half months, and they are 2.68 and 2.77 kgs respectively. Haven't managed to measure them yet, the wrigglers! They both like to sleep in the salad bowl, so we get the bowl on the kitchen scales, press zero, and try to get a kitten in it.

you will have to get a pic of that Louie is on the Wii fit

We weighed chester on Monday and he's now at 3.6kgs!

I need to get Gryfn weighed again.... I'm not sure what he weighs now...

My Edmund was a bit over 5lbs (2.4kg) at 4 months. He's 6 months now and obviously is MUCH larger, but I haven't weighed him recently. I know his current paw-to-paw length is at least 26 inches (66+ cm) (but it IS hard to measure!). I don't know anything about his pedigree though, and based on his size I think he must be at least somewhat mixed, even though he is obviously a Maine Coon in every detail, just not QUITE as huge, but he is already bigger than most any full grown "regular" cat!! I love my bundle of cuddles!
