Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2005Is my cat going to get bigger?
When do cats reach their full size? I know they're not *grown* until they're a year old, but then again I wasn't *grown* at 14, but already had all the adult height I was ever going to get. My cat is now 7 months, her teeth have pretty much come in. Is she going to be huge or stay just about the size she is now? Thanks. ___________________________________________________ Camilla Cracchiolo Registered Nurse Los Angeles, California camilla4@mindspring.com webpage temporarily down I always thought that cats are full grown at 15 months. theresa > When do cats reach their full size?

I've always had males but next door had 2 female kittens who were always tiny, then at about 12-14 months old they suddenly almost doubled in size.

The clue was his very long tail when I first got him at age 4 months. ---MIKE--- >My cat is now 7 months, her teeth have pretty much come in.

Cats are probably different, but at 7 months she's still practically a kitten. I've heard Maine Coons continue to grow sometimes until they're 2 years old.

Some are about fully grown at a year, others still grow a well beyond a year. Her feet might give you a clue, though. In my (not exactly vast) experience, kittens that are going to grow up to be large cats have big feet (think: puppy feet), while daintier-footed kittens usually grow up to be smaller cats.
