cat weight

Post by Botté »

my cat weights 3,2 kilos at 6months. Do you consider it to be a big one or a small one for his age?

Unless he is a maine coon, that's a bit on the heavy side for an average kitten at 6 months. If you think he may be overweight (and that you know he eats too much and is inactive, etc)...best to get him checked by your vet.

I'd feel better if you asked your vet, he's the only one who can visually see your kitty, weigh him, determine his body size in proportion to weight, determine his general health status, and tell you whether or not your kitty is a particular breed such as the maine coon.

Again, if he's eating more than usual, or is inactive and is actually gaining excessive weight, you need to prevent obesity early on. Otherwise, rule out parasties, and do not give him dewormers yourself, let your vet prescribe safe dewormers.
