Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2006Will She Ever Stop Growing???!
LOL, if she gets much bigger I'm going to have to move her to a zoo! ;> *THIS* is why I think my (once) tiny rescue is 99.999999% Maine Coon. http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Sammy28/ You've all see those tunnels at PetsMart, so you can extrapolate her size from that comparison! I'm told that Maine Coons can continue to grow until their 3rd to 5th birthday (and Sammy's only 2.5 years old)!!!

We never stop missing them. I know. It's always hard. And now I lost a dear friend, too. Then my dog was "not quite right" yesterday, so I went off to the vet with him. He's OK. I'm just freaked out, I guess. I saved a little bit of fluff from dear Chick. All I have left of my friend is a birthday card I got from her a couple of months ago. When she lost her dog last February, I wrote a little poem for her. I put it in a frame and gave it to her. I sure wish there were a way for me to have that as a remembrance. But I guess her son and DIL haven't thought about it. Oh well, I have lots of wonderful memories. They're all we get in the end.

ROFL! Samazon is an apt nickname for poor widdle Sammy :) Cute !!!!!! I think Maine Coons will/can gain weight very easily - more so than other types of kitties. You have to be very vigilant with them. They are SO CUTE that it is hard to say no and they just gain and gain. My vet says that is not good nor is it needed. My Maine Coon is going to be 4 years old in April and weighs 11 pounds. He is not thin and could easily put on lots more weight if I let him. But he also easily takes "no" for an answer! > LOL, if she gets much bigger I'm going to have to move her to a zoo! ;> > *THIS* is why I think my (once) tiny rescue is 99.999999% Maine Coon.

Yeah, and having three other cats doesn't help - she eats her food and then will go after theirs if they let her (thankfully, as big as she is, she still *thinks* she's the littlest kitten in the clowder - she gets "beat up" by her 6 pound sister, Jessie, on a regular basis). Sammy is 18 pounds now and probably could stand to lose half a pound, but since she is still growing I'm reluctant to put her on a restrictive diet. She's not really fat, she's just *big* and her fluffiness makes her look even bigger. To give you some idea of her size, she can stand on the floor, put her front paws on my counter-top and peek over the edge to see if there's any goodies up there.

Of course she never means it - she is a big wuss when it comes down to it.

MLB It's hard to pick Sammy up, she's so big, but here is a picture of me holding her (six months ago - she's grown more since this was taken!!) so you can get another comparison - and I'm not a little woman either, I'm 5' 6". Sammy can stand and put her paws around my waist! It's hard to believe she was this tiny (laying next to Bandit 2.5 years ago). http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Sammy1/ Hugs, CatNipped Oops, forgot to add the first link... http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Sammy29/ Hugs, CatNipped >>> LOL, if she gets much bigger I'm going to have to move her to a zoo! ;> >>> *THIS* is why I think my (once) tiny rescue is 99.999999% Maine Coon.

It's hard, sometimes, to tell exactly how big she is because she's proportioned so nicely. But when you see her next to an average cat you can really see it. Her head and neck are about three times as big as my next biggest cats'. Here are some pictures I took with her sitting next to Jessie, who at 7 pounds is about average for a cat... http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Jessie17/. And here's one of her standing in a window - a very large window - when she was still only about 8 months old http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Squirrel/.

If there's ever a basketball team for cats, Sammy would be the star. She's TALL. She's proportioned very nicely though. Bosley is a very tall, long-legged cat, but he's out of proportion. His head/paws are just average size. He's a really kind of funny-looking, especially when he was younger. His head looked so small back then. It's kind of caught up with the rest of his body now.

With my other cats I can easily fit my hand completely around their neck and have my fingers almost touch (like encircling your wrist with your other hand. With Sammy, my hand can only fit on the back of her neck and the fingers are 4 inches apart and nowhere near to touching. And I can lay my hand flat on the top of her head without any of it hanging over. Like I said, it's only freaky looking when she's next to another cat because she's well proportioned - or freaky when you try to pick her up without going "Ummmppphhhh" and heaving! ;> We don't tease her about her gigantism, though (well not much since we did nickname her Samazon)!
