Question
Hi Becky,I adopted a cat from a private cat shelter that takes in strays and does a complete work up on them and fixes them.The cat I adopted is a very short haired orange tabby mix.He is 9months old and weighs 9Lb's I was just wondering when do most cats stop growing.Thanks Randy
Hi Randy,
Your cat should be just about at his full growth. Cats normally achieve their maximum growth at one year, but 9 months is a pretty good target. He sounds like a beautiful cat and thank you for adopting him. There are so many cats out there that need good homes.

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
