When do cats stop growing?

[Mummyoftwo91]

My girl is 11 months now, she's always been quite a small cat, is this as big as she will get? Is this a normal size for her age?
Thank you

My youngsters are now about 15 months and seem to have stopped. My tortie girl is tiny too! They definitely had a bit of a growth spurt around their 1st birthday, and their faces filled out from that kittenish look.

Ah okay thank you I guess it depends on their gender and breed! She was the runt of the litter so I never expected her to be huge, people do comment and say she seems small but she seems to be gaining weight so I know she's healthy

Ime depends on how my much your neighbour feeds it! My dcat has expanded width ways courtesy of one of mine!!

I had an unusually late growth spurt in mine soon after bringing them home. I reckon they are both at least 25% bigger than when they came home at 2 years old, despite being fed well at the rescue centre. I think it was down to them finally being settled and happy.

And no it's NOT fat ! They are both longer and taller, and the vet says perfect condition and not overweight.

My wee woman is tiny and still looks like a kitten and she’s 3.

Yep, she’s probably at her adult size now

Both of the torties I’ve had have been petite too.

I can't answer your question for sure, other than to say I've got two and one is obviously the runt of the litter as he was always the smallest apparently. At nearly six month there's definitely a difference between him in his brother. One is small and skinnier, the other much better and very solid.

They can grow up to 18 months, I think. So she might have a little spurt ahead of her. She's very cute.

Thank u everyone

I have no idea what the 'correct' answer is, but from experience I've noticed it to be around 1.5 years.

She's a cutie. We had a runt who stayed kitten sized.

My boy is 2 in December and he’s still so small! Part Siamese tuxedo moggie. He doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him but he’s very muscular on a small frame. He looks like a tiny panther!

We think our lad was about 10 months when we got him. His paws still looked a little big for him but he's grown into them and is certainly bigger.
He loves his food so challenge will be keeping his weight ok. I am quite strict on amounts and have already cut back a little on his dry food!

My little boy 1.3 has just only started filling out and not looking so gawky. He does still look very camp when he's running around in the garden with his flailing limbs and confused kitten face

A sort of related question - I know different breeds of horses mature at different ages, but is it the same for cats? e.g. a thoroughbred matures at about 2 years old, but the heavy breeds tend to not fully mature until 4-5 years old.
