ya mams a smallcat.

Answer 2

She seems small to me, I would take her to the vet and have this checked out.  Your vet will be able to tell you if her weight is appropriate for her body size.  And, will also be able to give you recommendations for the right diet for such a small girl.

Almost forgot, it's time to have her neutered!

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Bless her! Yes! She is small. The average weight for a female dsh is 6 to 8 pounds and 8 to 12 for boys when fully grown. But, cats aren't quite fully grown and developed for another 6-8 months. So, she might fill out a little more for you.

I take it that she has been checked by a vet and she's healthy and well?! Does she eat and drink ok? If so, just love her like any other cat and make sure she gets weighed and looked by a vet at regular intervals.

Because of her size, that makes her more special and you probably love her more for that.

All the best to you both and happy birthday to your kitty for next month. Hope you have  plenty of celebrations :)

noooooooooooooooo

Answer 5

Your female cat isn't done growing yet. I have a female cat that ws also slow to develop but by the time she was two she was at 6lbs. Three years later she was 8lbs. A male from the same litter is 17 lbs so size and weight can vary widely among cat siblings.

Answer 6

I think she is just small.

My 2 cats have given birth to 10 kittens so far and two of my female kittens had very small size till quite sometime (like 3-4 months) they just looked like a small kitten after they crossed their 6 month they just grew to be a normal sized cat.

My experience is whenever there is only one female kitten out of all the kittens (rest are male) she tends to remain smaller in size.

But best thing would be if you take her to Vet. Hope everything turns out well.

Good Luck
