Weight of Coonie
Hi,we have mostly boys & the weight at that age have gone from 3.9kg to 4.60kg.
Our last two though that are litter mates weighed exactly the same as each other through to when they were 10 months old & then one of them started to edge in front & now at 2.5yrs old he weighs 2.5kg more than his brother,one comes in at just 7.10kg & the other 9.65kg & the strange thing is the heavier one just picks at his food where his bruv eats his own & then goes round & clears all the other dishes.I think that is the joy of MC's though,you never know what you will end up with until they are fully mature.
I am sure a lot more people will come back with some more weights for you to compare with but a lot will depend also on the breeding lines of your cat.One of our boys started off weighing 4.40kg at that age but now fully grown he only comes in at 6.90kg but he is very tall & long & is a joy to pick up & cuddle after the weightier ones....
Good luck with your babe & keep us posted.

Freyja's just turned 4 months and weighed about 2.1Kg a week ago. When she arrived a month ago she weighed 1.5Kg so in four weeks she's gained over half a Kilo. I think it's quite varied though, so I don't know how helpful that is!

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

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
